Product Information

After the cooking is done for you (make sure to rinse the rice first!), the heat function will keep it warm for you until you are ready to eat.

The Aroma company has a variety of rice makers to fit every family's needs when making their rice or grain recipes. I've included a few models that are similar to the Aroma steamers below. The Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker is undoubtedly the most versatile rice cooker. Its ability to perform multiple cooking functions makes it an essential tool in any kitchen. Whether you're a novice cook or a seasoned chef, the Instant Pot Pro will elevate your cooking game to new heights. With 28 smart cooking programs and five customizable favorite settings, this Instant Pot Pro Multi-Use Pressure Cooker can truly do it all. I tested seven different rice cookers in search of the very best and, in test after test, the Aroma held its own as a winner. While not as fancy or souped up as the more expensive Zojirushi rice cooker I tested, the jasmine, basmati, brown and sushi rice that came out of the pot was consistently delicious. While it did not have as many settings on the display, which meant I had to consult the manual to find cooking times and water-to-grain ratios, it is versatile enough to steam a variety of grains other than rice. And thanks to an included steamer basket, it can steam fish, meat and vegetables as well.

Note that the rice-to-water ratio may vary depending on the type of basmati rice you are using, so it’s important to follow the instructions in your recipe. What Else Can You Cook in a Rice Cooker? If you are making rice for a small family, a five or six-cup rice cooker is an ideal size for you. A mini rice cooker is available if you are single or a couple, and a mini rice cooker is also more storage-friendly, making it perfect for dorm rooms or small apartment living. It also takes more water to cook brown rice. Sensors help the cooker fine-tune water levels. In general, it takes around 2 1/4 cups of water per cup of brown rice compared to 1 1/2 cups of water per cup of white rice. Another thing I like about cooking porridge in the rice cooker is that it cooks like a slow cooker and so the taste is better but it works for any quantity from a single bowl to a large family meal whereas slow cookers work best for larger batches. The cooker will countdown the cooking time for each rice grains When all of the ingredients have been added press stop/ cancel to end cooking The machine will automatically turn off after all of the food has been cooked properly or when there’s been no activity for 90 seconds (whichever comes first)Each press of the Steam button causes a timer on your digital display to count down from 30 minutes this function can be used simultaneously with other functions such as sautéing and stir frying The rice cooker should be used with 3 cups of water and white rice When the cooking time is finished the machine will beep and warming will appear on the digital display Press cancel to end warming.

This multifunction rice cooker features an 18/8 stainless steel inner cooking pot made from 304 food-grade material. The outer pot is also constructed from stainless steel and is easy to clean, as well as the inner pot. Apart from the outer lid with a knob, there is also a lid for the inner pot. Ceramic cooking pots are heavier than those made of aluminum. They retain heat longer, so you have to be careful when handling them. It’s a good idea to use oven mitts to prevent burned fingers.Convenient: A multigrain or rice cooker is very easy to use. Simply add ingredients, and any desired seasonings to the cooker, and let it do the work. Easy To Use– Spending a lot of time learning how to use a rice cooker is not convenient, so always opt for models that are easy to use. Some other features that can help are glass lids for monitoring the cooking, as well as a measuring cup and serving scoop accessories. Dishwasher safe pots are also helpful for hassle-free cleaning. The Aroma also has a delay setting that lets you prep rice (or oatmeal or other grains) up to 15 hours in advance and start the cooking process at your desired time. And just like the Zojirushi rice cooker, the Aroma’s keep warm function lets you hold cooked rice at a steady temperature for up to 12 hours after steaming, which adds to its versatility.

The TLOG rice cookeris very versatile – it can also serve as a vegetable steamer, oatmeal maker, yogurt maker, spaghetti maker, and soup pot, and it has a special program for making brown rice.Rice cookers have a line for each rice scoop of white rice This means that the rice cookers know how much rice is inside of them when they are full The number of rice scoops determines how many people can eat from one machine with eight being the maximum amount of people it can feed and 24 being the most possible amount. Anyway, a good quality rice cooker lasts me about 12-15 years, as I'm on my second one since 1993! I make more rice than potatoes in my home, so I use it quite often. Versatile: You can use a multigrain cooker other grains also, such as quinoa and oatmeal. They can also be used to steam vegetables, and even yogurt.
