 Wonderful Well Designed Cooker! April 4, 2008

This is the fourth rice cooker I have owned and it is by far and away the best. The rice cooks right every time. The manual does give a guide of how much water to add for different types of rice but I have found that even when I screw up and do not use the right amount of water the rice has turned out pretty good.
I enjoy the fact that the device has a sealed top which really seems to help the rice be more consistent and also makes me feel better having this unit used with three small children in the house running around. The rice receptacle inside is a delightful non-stick surface that is more then easy to clean. The steam feature for other items works wonderful as well. I have left rice in the device for over two hours after cooking and it is still moist, tasty and not burnt. The one touch button cooking is a breeze and for me it takes about 30 minutes or so in most instances for the quantity I cook.
The only thing I learned I had to do is not place the device under anything when cooking. There is a starchy steam that is released during cooking that can coat wood and other surfaces. On wood this starch coating can be a pain to remove.
This is a great device to cook an entire meal or side in quick mindless ease. I can't think of a feature I would change on this unit. A great device that actually has increased the amount of rice and vegetables I and my family consume. Unless you need larger quantities of rice then this device is capable of I really can't see why anyone would need anything else. This is a great product at a great price. Wonderful!

This is the best thing I have purchased in a long time. We eat a lot of rice and this makes it right every time. The rice is light and fluffy and never sticks together. Easy to clean up. Everyone should have one.
Nice little thing! February 20, 2008

I got the stainless steel version of this rice cooker at Sams for about the same price. Have been very happy with it, flawless rice every time and the nonstick pot is very easy to clean, esp. if you soak it first for maybe 5-10 minutes.
Haven't tried the steamer yet, use it just for rice.
My only caveat is that the price you pay for the convenience of using an appliance like this is that cleaning up can be a little troublesome: before it totally cools off, you have to remove the metal dish on the underside of the lid to clean it completely, plus wipe the surface of the lid behind it, and then periodically you want to take apart the air vent mechanism to clean that too.
Using a simple pot to cook rice in will reduce your cleanup but you wouldn't be able to just leave it alone and go do something else while the rice is cooking...that's just the trade-off I suppose. (My non-cooker method is to use a 2:1 water to rice ratio, bring the rice to a boil at medium heat while covered, then turn to low heat and leave covered for about 20 minutes after it boils.)
These Aroma products seem to be really good for the money. I have the Aroma electric kettle (see my review) and am also very happy with it.
Great rice cooker! February 2, 2008

I purchased this Aroma 8-Cup a month or so ago and am very happy with it. The rice is really great! The digital touch-pad is easy to use, especially with the timer which I've been using a lot lately. The one problem I had was with brown rice. It was burning a bit. The instructions with the unit advised using a little oil to coat the nonstick pan to remedy this type of problem. I used some olive oil and have had no problem since with burning or residue in the pan bottom. This is a great product for the price AND the rice is delicious! (I am a recovering non-rice person!) I give it 5 stars!
