Aroma Housewares AROMA® Professional 20-Cup (Cooked) / 5Qt. Digital Rice Cooker, Steamer, and Slow Cooker Pot with 10 Smart Cooking Modes, Including Sauté-then-Simmer®

We absolutely love this rice cooker . Don’t let its small size fool you . This thing is a rice cooking machine . Price is very affordable. Love the timer option to have it automatically start and ready at desired time . We like the Calrose sticky rice . We have enjoyed it so much that we brought a couple for gifts for family members for Christmas . One that we ordered got damaged in shipping process but was quickly replaced . With all the oversized kitchen gadgets we have - we like the size for storage and also the fact that all you have to do is rinse the rice - add your water then set it and forget it . The rice comes out perfect and even keeps the rice warm after it’s finished cooking . The next day just add a small amount of water with the rice in a bowl and microwave it - taste just like you just got it out of the rice cooker !!

Works great and very easy to use. Cooks rice perfectly and the extra functions like slow cook, steam, and soup are really handy. The digital controls are simple, and it heats evenly every time. Solid build, easy to clean, and saves a lot of counter space. Very happy with this purchase.

First rice cooker we've bought so nothing to compare it to. But now we wonder why we haven't bought one before now. We have rice often, will probably have it more now. Super easy to use, and clean. Fluffy rice, just measure the rice, rinse, put in the cooker, and water, select what kind of rice and about 40 minutes later have nice fluffy, perfectly cooked rice.

Great product the couple times I’ve used, so far. Cooks in a quick time frame. Finishes just about when the rest of the meal is completed and ready. Easy to use. You are able to focus on other parts of meal time better. Stores away easily enough. I like the versatility of being able to cook different types of grains. And it seems as though I can use it for things other than just rice. No problems with rice burning, yet, if you follow the ratio instructions.

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.

I spent truly months hemming and hawing about what brand of (expensive) rice cooker to get before finally just pulling the trigger on this one as a more affordable option, and it has been great!!! I have used it at least weekly for 4 months now and have had no issues. Has worked great for both sushi rice and regular rice. I've also cooked meat along with my rice in it and that's worked great!!!

I've been using this rice cooker for about 3 months now and just love it. I originally bought this for camping but have found that I love it so much I use it at home almost daily. It does rice very well and I love to use the saute function to saute my steel cut oats in some butter to release the nutty flavor, then finish them on the oatmeal function. Turns out some great oats. I just finished using the slow cooker to make some Italian Chicken Vegetable Soup and the soup was done in about 4 hours. Unfortunately there isn't a way to select low or high on the slow cook function and I'm unsure which one it cooks on. One thing I will mention is that you can only fill the pot up half way when using the slow cooker function. I used 16 oz chicken broth, 1/2 cut up chicken breast, half a stalk of celery, 1/2 small onion, 1/2 peeled sliced carrot and half a can of diced tomatoes with various spices. So Making soup will give two good sized bowls, enough for two people or two meals. I certainly would purchase this again.

Excelente!! Estoy encantada

It works exactly as advertised. It is a great product that I will recommend to everyone interested in having a perfectly cooked rice. The price is a little high, but, in the end acceptable. I owned and used other Aroma products and all of them worked great. Since I got the rice cooker, I switched all my starch intake to rice, it's that good. I use the Thai Jasmine rice. It's the fluffiest and properly seasoned it taste great.

Fácil de usar. Manual sencillo de uso y de buena capacidad. El arroz queda perfecto y ademas tiene la opcion para mantener la temperatura. La usamos casi a diario. Ha sido una buena compra definitivamente. La dejas funcionando y como la debes estar cuidando te permite aprovechar ese tiempo de cocción en otras cosas del hogar o bien cocinar otras cosas mientras esta listo! En ocasiones lo pongo en la mañana para que el resto de la familia lo coma recien hecho a la hora de la comida porque conserva bien la temperatura ademas de tener esta opción que no he usado siempre porque la mayoria del tiempo no es necesario el boton de "mantener temperatura"

Unfortunately, the seller forgot to mention in the description the big disclaimer that the rice cocker that they are selling causes cancer (see picture). I tried to return the product to get my money back and it was really painful as the seller did not wanted to pay for the return at first. Then when I managed to get a prepaid label, they resended the parcel back again by mistake, but they did not send the money. Still no money received and they expect that I pay to return the package (that they mistakely re-sent). Will really not reccomend this product.

The plug was not compatible with French or British sockets, tripped the circuit breaker when first plugged in, and never worked. Item returned.
