The wooden spoon just needed a little sanding to be smooth/splinter-free. It wasn't cracked and it thick enough for long use. The cup is Stainless Steel, sturdy and easy to clean. I like that it has no handle. The numbers are deeply impressed, so it's fairly easy to read. They are reversed, so you read it from inside the cup instead of outside the cup (which makes perfect sense). According to the rice cooker manual for my cooker, this is the industry standard rice cooker cup size of 180mL. The top "line" is 150mL, there is a "dot" above that labeled "180". That = 180mL. That is the mark to use if you want add water to the 3 "cups" (540 Milliliters = 0.54 Liters) water line in the Rice cooker pot.Copied from the manual I downloaded:"Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The water linesin the inner pot are meant for white rice only. Please see the chart above for brown rice/water ratios.• Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations may require longer cooking times and/or additional waterin order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package instructions for cooking suggestions.• The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup. The chart above refers to cups of rice/water according to the measuring cup provided.• Do not place more than 3 cups of uncooked rice (2 cups if brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximumcapacity of this unit is 3 cups raw rice (2 cups if brown rice) which yields 6 cups of cooked rice (4 cups brown rice)."I'm attaching a photo so you can see the chart, and a photo showing the relative size of the cup and spoon with my cooker. It's High-Resolution, so you can zoom in (if Amazon doesn't resize it).
