Perfect rice every time and so easy to use

This rice cooker has become one of my most-used kitchen appliances. It makes perfectly fluffy rice every single time with zero effort — just add rice and water and press start. I love that it doubles as a steamer, so I can cook vegetables at the same time. It's a great size for my family and the nonstick pot cleans up really easily. It keeps the rice warm for hours without drying it out, which is a huge plus. Well built and worth every penny. Highly recommend for anyone who cooks rice regularly. ... show more

Seriously, why would anyone ever need a rice cooker? Nothing is simpler than making rice!

TL;DR: Buy this, it’s amazing. There’s no need to buy a fancier model, this makes perfect rice, is simple, is inexpensive, and does not take up much room. As someone with extensive experience in the kitchen, both professionally and at home, I cannot imagine anything simpler to cook than rice. There are only 2 ingredients, rice & water and it's not very complicated. With so many appliances in my kitchen, why bother with another thing to buy, use once, and take up storage space? I have enough gadgets that seemed great on paper (air fryers, bread makers, etc.) which did not do the job as well as I could do using traditional methods, and which were often difficult to clean and maintain. So, a rice cooker? A machine to replace the easiest food in the world to cook? Why? My wife had suggested one, after all, all of the restaurants that served rice used them. But, I explained (probably incorrectly) they need to make a LOT of rice; we don't, and that's probably why they use them. Then I came across an article in one of my favorite food magazines, where they test products and came across their review of rice cookers. This rice cooker received the highest rating and was the least expensive of all their tests (and this is a serious chef's magazine, not supported by advertising; their reviews are spot-on and unbiased). And so, I bit the bullet and thought that if it was garbage, I'd just toss it, it was inexpensive enough. As soon as I got this, I wanted to use it and prove to my wife why it was a waste of money and space, and how even a review from an almost always dependable magazine, could be wrong, Of course, I tried some basmati rice because I knew that there was no way that I was going to get fluffy rice with discrete, pieces of rice not stuck together. Once more I would show her who was right. Wrong. After about 33 minutes when the machine said that the rice was done, I opened the lid and, behold, it was perfect! Each grain of rice was perfectly cooked, separate from all the other grains, flowable, and it was the same from the top of the pot to the bottom. Amazing and impressive. Then I decided that the time/temperature etc. of this gadget must have been designed for basmati rice, let's try some short-grain sticky rice for sushi. Damn, how does it know? Again, perfect. I'm now a believer, I admit I was very wrong, and the answer to who needs a rice cooker is: I do and You do. - This machine cleans up beautifully, it leaves no rice on the bottom of the pot. - It is simple to use. - It cooks rice perfectly My only issue with it is, as per the attached photos, it is very difficult to see the water line markings on the inside of the pot. This machine is too good, however, to deduct any points for that. Two things to point out: 1) The cup that it comes with equals 3/4 of a dry cup measure. It says that in the instructions but on the cup itself, there is a 3/4 full mark. That's a bit confusing but, the measuring cup is 3/4 cup when it is filled to the top. If you fill it to the 3/4 mark, you're weighing out 3/4 of a cup (or a little over 1/2 of a regular cup) so just fill it to the brim. 2) There is a steam vent on the lid. It's probably not best to place this under a cabinet; condensation will form on the underside of the cabinet and drip or, worse, penetrate the cabinet wood and get moldy. Keep it in a position so that the vent is clear of anything above it. I highly recommend, despite my previous insistence that nobody needs a rice cooker, this machine. It's amazing.

Always PERFECT * 2x as fast * 10 years and still going strong
Size: 4 Cup Uncooked / 8 Cup Cooked
I bought this in Jan 2014. It's May 2023. It's almost a decade old, and it's still going. (Honestly, I only use it for white rice.) + Cooks sushi rice perfectly + Cooks jasmine rice perfectly + Done in 36 minutes (I've timed it) -- FASTEST rice cooker + Easy to clean + Couldn't be any simpler to use + Cheap (it was $30 then, and it's $30 now) + Has been with me for a DECADE - The ONLY "negative" is that I used metal forks and spoons in it when I was young and foolish, so some rice can stick, especially if it's left on keep warm for a long time. Washed rice sticks less. Oiled rice (for individual grains, like fried rice) doesn't stick at all. [I have no chill for "fancy" brands] I have tried to ZOJIRUSHI rice cookers, on "sushi, white rice, long grain white" modes. It takes 60+ minutes everytime, and we always google, "Why is my rice overcooked?" I have never had to troubleshoot my Aroma rice cooker. It just works. I'm so annoyed by "higher quality" brands that make you experiment to try to get their product to work. [How I Use It] If I want fluffy, individual grains, to go with beans or to go into fried rice, I THOROUGHLY wash the Jasmine rice, then mix in a little oil to the pot before I turn it on. If I want sushi rice, I just wash it a normal amount (3-6x) and fill up to the line. [Washing Rice] Just in case anyone is unfamiliar, you "wash" the extra starch off of rice before you cook it. Usually you just put the rice in the cooking bowl, fill it part way with water, swirl the grains around, tip out as much of the water as you can without spilling grains - and repeat until the water is nearly clear. If you want less sticky rice (like for fried rice) wash it for longer to get all extra starch off. Then you add fresh water (I use filtered) to the "washed" rice until it hits the Fill line for however many "cups" of rice you put in. [Amount of Water] Just use the cup that comes with the rice cooker and fill to the line. I don't know why the finger method doesn't give you the same ratio and result, but I just trust the machine. [TLDR] + It's still flawless a DECADE later + Cooks various types of rice perfectly every time + Effortless + Cooks twice as fast as others I would buy it in a heartbeat for anyone else. I wouldn't waste my time or money on anything else. ... show more

A good choice, just needs a little design tweak to be perfect.
Size: 4 Cup Uncooked / 8 Cup Cooked
Overall an awesome rice cooker. Easy to use and is lasting us through a lot of use over the years. It always gets the rice just right, and the steamer basket is also really handy - it's nice to be able to make veggies or dumplings at the same time. The measurement lines on the inside are a little tricky to see in dim lighting, but they make it really easy to know you've got the right amount of water in there. Use a measuring cup to scoop your rice (wash your rice for honor), then just fill to the corresponding line (e.g. 1 cup of rice = fill to the 1 line). We don't take it out of the kitchen much, but it is very portable! When we were moving, I just put all the pieces together as usual, closed it, and grabbed the handle. Done! The only issue I have is that it's kinda hard to clean the top and it really needs to be cleaned after every use ideally. You basically have to take it apart - it's just two or three pieces, but my ADHD doesn't want to do the extra steps and if I don't do it, the whole thing feels a little gross within a couple uses. A bit of thought on the design there could turn this into a quick wipe down instead, and that would make this a flawless choice in my opinion. ... show more

Good rice steamer for brown rice
Size: 4 Cup Uncooked / 8 Cup Cooked
I always use brown rice and was leery about buying this kind of steamer. I had a vegetable and rice steamer for over 10 years that I loved. It was just an oval one with the clear plastic bowl for the veggies and had a rice bowl you put in it. It had a dial that you turned to the amount of time y9u wanted your food to cook for. It was perfect for brown rice because I could put however much water I wanted In with the rice and then set it for 60 minutes and then later another 15-20. So I was sad when it died and nervous about this one. This one did work very well. I followed the directions, but did add a little extra water. I found that for brown rice, the recommended amount of water was not enough. When I checked on it after it was done, the water had completely absorbed in and the brown rice was a little too hard. Not crunchy or really hard, just not quite right. (I do not like my rice mushy. I have eaten brown rice all my life, along with other grains.) i had to add more water and cook it for a little longer. I did find that some rice was stuck to the bottom, but not burned. I have always used twice as much water to brown rice and cooked it for around 80 minutes. I think with brown rice, it will take some experimenting to figure out what works best for each person. Next time, I’m going to add more water and cook it longer. (only way to cook it longer than 60 minutes is to start it over again, which is easy.) If I end up adding too much water, I will just cook it a little longer. I washed it by hand, and I didn’t put it in the dishwasher. It is small and light so it is easy to put in a cupboard. There are some recipes in the manual for other grains. Anyway, I like this and it did work for brown rice. You just might have to experiment with the cooking time and water amount a little bit. The only thing that bugs me is that the inside pan the rice goes in has two sets of lines and numbers. It has cups on one side and a lower case e on the other. The lines under the e do not match up with the lines under the word cups. The numbers are different too. The ones under the e are 0.2 up through 0.8. I thought maybe the e and the 0.2-0.8 was liters or something but am not sure. I read the manual and googled and couldn’t find the answer. I’m sure it is something obvious, and doesn’t effect anything at all. I’m just curious. Update 12/19/20- After using this rice cooker quite often between now and when I got it, I wish I had bought a different rice cooker. My old Sunbeam one was much better. With the Aroma cooker, the water that is in with the rice is what is steaming. The rice comes out pretty stuck together, no matter how I adjust the water amount. If I follow the directions and only use the proper amount of water, the brown rice isn’t cooked enough and is hard still. Another big disadvantage of the Aroma is that the rice sticks to the bottom and while I don’t have to scrub it off, I do have to soak it for hours and apply pressure with a dish cloth to get it clean. The Sunbeam, which I include a link for so you can see what I’m talking about, had you put water below what you are steaming. It had a bowl for the rice and you also put water in with the rice. The water that was below and not with the rice is what got hot and steamy. It cooked the rice just fine, perfectly in fact. The timer only went for 60 minutes, so I did have to add some more time, but this was no big deal. Often, I would start the rice earlier in the day at around 2 or 3 and then cook it the last 20 or so before dinner. The Sunbeam was also much easier to clean. The brown rice turned out soft, but not mushy, and was not all stuck together. It was perfect. The only thing thing the Aroma has that I like better is that it does have a delay start. (It was this one, but I am not paying this much-https://www.amazon.com/Sunbeam-Instant-4710-Vegetable-Cooker/dp/B07MMG9L96/ref=asc_df_B07MMG9L96/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385191967814&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17843216542356355794&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032623&hvtargid=pla-836131536875&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=78082493949&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385191967814&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17843216542356355794&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032623&hvtargid=pla-836131536875) ... show more

Above average rice cooker
Size: 4 Cup Uncooked / 8 Cup Cooked
I bought this AROMA brand rice cooker to replace a larger vegetable steamer (by a different manufacturer) that had an attachment for cooking rice. I wanted to have a cooker that was primarily for rice, with the option to steam vegetables and/or cook other foods, while being smaller when stored on the countertop, and easier to clean than my old one. Based on other Amazon reviews, I selected this one. Before I forget to write it, I think it is important to point out that this cooker is rated for 8 cups of COOKED rice, NOT 8 cups of uncooked rice. The usual ratio for regular white rice is 1:2, meaning that if you put in 1 cup of uncooked rice, you will have 2 cups of cooked rice when done. So with this product you can put in a maximum of 4 cups of uncooked rice, and will end up with a maximum of 8 cups of cooked rice. It is also important to note that if you choose to use the optional (included) vegetable steamer/food cooker tray, this fits inside the rice cooker pot and therefore takes up some of the space in that pot; you can cook rice AND steam vegetables/cook food simultaneously, but you cannot fit the full measure of rice when doing so. In my estimate, if you put in a cup or two of uncooked rice, the vegetable steamer/food cooker tray holds about enough to feed two people when combined with the rice. It is certainly not large enough to simultaneously cook rice and other food in quantities for a family; AROMA makes a similar product with a larger capacity if you need it. I shopped in several stores (Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Macy's) before buying this cooker. They all carried electric rice cookers, but none had this product. Sears has AROMA products, but only in a less expensive non-digital version, while BB&B had a similar cooker by West Bend that did not look as good in terms of quality. But the majority of places I looked carried only non-digital rice cookers. I mention this because I think the digital ones have a couple of advantages that are significant enough to comment on: - The cooker is not simply based on cooking time; there is some sort of measurement going on that assures properly cooked rice. - The cooker can be programmed to start cooking while you are away, so that the rice (or other food) will be ready when you want to eat it. - The cooker automatically goes into a 'keep warm' mode once cooking is done, and will work well in this regard for at least a few hours. This cooker includes the following: - Cooker itself (included the digital controller and the heating element) - Teflon coated (non-stick) rice cooker pot - Plastic vegetable steamer/food cooker tray - Plastic stirring spatula (used once rice is cooked) - Clear plastic measuring cup (1 cup capacity) - Users manual - Quick start guide - Rice recipes Basic rice cooking goes like this: - Measure uncooked rice, using included cup or any other measuring cup - Pour rice into pot - If cooking white rice, pour in some water, stir with included spatula (or wooden spoon, etc), drain water (this optional step helps rinse away excess starch) - Add water to pot (which already contains rice) until water level reaches measuring mark on inside of pot that corresponds with amount of rice - Close cooker lid - Press POWER button - Press either the WHITE RICE or BROWN RICE button - Cooking starts, and is monitored by the digital controller; display shows rotating LED pattern, 'Cooking' LED illuminates - When digital controller estimates that about 12 minutes remain, display stops rotating pattern and starts showing count down minutes until done - Cooker beeps loudly for a few seconds, automatically enters KEEP WARM mode, 'Keep Warm' LED illuminates - When ready to eat, press POWER button twice to turn cooker off, open lid and remove pot - Stir cooked in pot using included spatula (or wooden spoon, etc) The manual includes a chart for estimating cooking time, but in general white rice takes 20-30 minutes, and brown rice takes twice that time. I have done small and large batches of both white rice, brown rice, and also a batch of wild rice, and all came out perfectly, properly cooked but not mushy. White rice had a nice level of stickiness of the sort that lends itself to eating with chopsticks, but without being TOO sticky, so you can easily break it up by stirring more with the spatula. In my tests, I always used the recommended water amount (i.e. I filled the pot to the measurement line that matched the amount of uncooked rice I put in), EXCEPT for the wild rice; the cooker does not have a setting for wild rice, so I followed the instructions on the rice bag, putting in 1-3/4 cup of water for each cup of uncooked rice, and then using the BROWN RICE mode on the cooker. I have not used the optional vegetable steamer/food cooker tray, so I cannot comment on that very much. But the manual includes extra steps for setting up cooking in the tray only (i.e. no rice cooking), as well as simultaneous cooking of rice and other foods. There are ways to specify time values that apply to the foods in the optional tray, so the cooker is not going only on its normal method for rice-only cooking. Besides using the product for cooking rice, and other things in the optional tray, it can be used as a sort of 'crock pot' for heating soups, chili, stews, etc. In this case, you just put the food to be heated into the pot directly and select the WHITE RICE mode. The food will be heated and then the cooker will keep it warm until you are ready to eat it. I tested this using a can of chili, and it worked well. This use of the cooker is mostly useful if you want to program it to start cooking while you are away, with cooking completed soon before you ARE ready to eat, OR to keep the food warm if you are uncertain about when you will be ready to eat. The pot is easy to clean. Since neither water or food are ever put into the body of the cooker, there should rarely be any need to clean it, other than wiping the inside of the lid in case any food splashed up onto it during cooking. The quality of this product seems very good. Nothing feels cheap. My only quibbles are that the power cord is quite short (obviously intended for use on a counter top, whereas I prefer to use it on a table that is further from the nearest outlet), and the 'control panel' area is quite reflective, and sometimes I have to view from different angles in order to read the buttons and/or the display and other LEDs. ... show more

Great Rice and a Tolerant Cooker
Size: 4 Cup Uncooked / 8 Cup Cooked
Okay. I'll give it five stars based on the rice it produces and easy of use and design. It does indeed make pretty much perfect rice, white, brown, wild, etc. as well as other grains. It comes with a little measuring cup. The water level marks inside (none too easy to see, are calibrated for the number of these little cups of grain you use. But the cup is about 3/4 cup, Why? Because that's 1-gou, the standard Japanese rice serving measure. But that's no big deal. Nor is it a problem that the water marks inside are hard to read. Just use one measure of water to one measure of rice. I know. That's different from your usual ratio for stovetop rice. There's a little bit of learning to do at first. I use more water with brown rice, more like 1.5 water to one brown rice. And some rice is drier than other rices, and need more water. I find that you can have a little more water, but you don't want to have too little, because the rice will be less than fully prepared. For instance, I forgot about the little measuring cup and absentmindedly used a full one cup measure but added water to the line for two gou. I got slightly underdone rice. Remember that the cooker knows when the water has been absorbed. Rice cookers work because, so long as there is free water in the pot, the temperature cannot rise above 212F (at sea level). So all the pot need do is stop cooking and reduce temperature to warm when the pot temperature rises about 212F. That's why it works for all grains. And that means the cooker doesn't really know when the rice is done, only when the water is gone. Now, you will see all sorts of different ratios recommended by rice cooker recipes and for different cookers. Lots of people use 1.5:1 for white rice. Quinoa is happier with a 2:1 ratio. Anything reasonably close will work, so long as you use enough water for the grain to be fully cooked when the water is gone. If you use a little more water than you needed, it will go on cooking until absorbed. The worst that will happen is that it might get a little softer than you'd like. And you can even fix it when you open the pot and find it isn't quite done. Just add a bit more water and start the cycle again. The cooker will still know when that water is absorbed. That's the lovely thing about a rice cooker. It can sort of peak under the lid for you, plus it doesn't have to be watched. ... show more
