I bought the 20 cup Aroma rice cooker. I used it for the first time last night for dinner. I wanted to steam rice and salmon, but I DO NOT recommend putting meat like that in the cooker with rice. IT WAS NASTY. the salmon juice went into the rice and the rice was so gross I couldn't eat it. The salmon was really nummy and juicy though! I will cook meat and rice separately from now on, but rice with veggies on top would be fine! :) Thanks for your review.
You should of read the instructions first. you had to clean it with soap and water and then cook. also add the rice first with the measuring cup that was supplied for you then add the water.
Wow... seems some were highly critical...I thank you for all you showed us-whether bowl was washed or not, etc...it's helpful to see and hear. I didn't see any responses from you & I am wondering if you have enjoyed your machine & still use it for veggies and such. Also how did you find veggies in next go 'round. I am hoping container would emit less chemicals... did the rinsing after this batch help? I bought this to give my mom's meals by bedside. Would you give a quick response-so appreciate it. Thanks ~
Can you cook a box of beef rice a roni in the bottom of A 8 cup Aroma Rice Cooker and steam veggies on top at the same time? And do you choose brown rice setting or white rice setting?
The rice/water measurement chart that he was using in the video says, “the Provided rice cooker cup is equivalent to a 3/4 cup (U.S. standard measurement” So, it's actually a little Less than a full cup) I lost the cup a long time ago. I've had this for over 15 years and I LOVE IT.. Perfect Rice EVERY time. Using a ¾ Cup measuring cup. *And Always, with Rice, even in a pot on the stove.. 1 cup rice = 2 cups water I usually add some Salt to the water and drizzle some Olive Oil also, for Flavor. I have never rinsed Any Rice in all my life 😉👍 It's been a Great little Rice Cooker/Steamer for me for many years 🎉 *If yours IS brand new.. Wash and dry it Really Good first, using dishsoap and Hot water before using the pot, spatula, measuring cup, steaming basket and also the flat, circular Inner lid. Also, Remember to Empty and Wash the little moisture Reservoir, located at the hinge of the lid on the outside After Each use. It easily snaps into place. (He completely left that part out, though overall, his Review was one of the Best I've ever seen).. Then, ENJOY it for the next 10 years, at least! 😊
Thanks for your review! Definitely do have to wash it pretty well after unboxing and then on one video, the broccoli was added about 10 minutes before the rice was taken out. So to prevent sogginess. But I am quite impatient myself and would have experimented the way you did.. Anyways, thanks for reviewing.
Is anyone else wondering why everybody that knows how to cook rice is watching someone that doesn't know how to cook rice?? In an automatic rice cooker....damn!
Oh please doesnt anyone using the aroma rice cooker have lovely rice with a hard almost layer of rice coating the bottom.. lovely mess to cleanup. Just cant get this cooker to make nice rice. Also takes a total of 42 minutes to make this rice. Only 25 in a saucepan on the cooker. Never had a problem. Thought a rice cooker would make life easier.
You are supposed to use the measuring cup that comes with the cooker not a regular 1 cup measuring cup. The cup provided is not a regular full one cup. You put the rice in the cooker and then fill to the 1 cup line. You were also supposed to wash the pot before use so you don't get that chemical taste to the food. This is clearly stated in the directions.
right there on the front of the instructions that he holds up it says if you misplace the measuring cup a standard measuring cup can be used to replace it.
Dude, I respect what you are trying to do by showing one continuous take from opening, but next time read the instructions first as oder people wrote you are always require to wash all items before them and also you are supposed to turn the rice first and let it sit in the cooker for a few minutes before consuming so it don't look like a "rice pancake" and actually it finish cooking evenly
So it's equal parts? 1 cup rice=1 cup water? I always thought that THAT was for the instant kind and for the NON-instant it's double the portion of water to the rice measurement. Anyone can chime in. :)
Everything I'm reading says "approximately 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water." Least when you Google it that's what it says, but seems like too much water.
The ideal ratio of rice is 1 cup rice to 1 cup water ONLY IF you have no evaporation which can be done in a souvide cooker. Pots and rice cookers allow for evaporation and therefore the extra water. The ratio of water to rice is critical. The more correct ratio is about 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cup (or slightly less). Also it does not automatically double the amounts if you double the amount of rice. 2 cups of rice would only require about 2 3/4 cup water, not 4. Again, the extra water is not absorbed, it evaporates.
I don't think you are supposed to steam food at the same time as cooking rice. Food flavor will always get into the rice and food will always be over cooked by the time the rice is done!! You should cook rice ahead and then steam your food items. And yes...always wash cooking appliances with hot soapy water before using new products!!! Read the instructions before you make your videos!!!
It's thinking 😆😂😂😂😆😂😂😂😂 . Great review. I'm so getting this rice cooker once it's back on sale. Can you please tell me if it works well as slow cooker . Thanks
+Keri Hon I just bought one of these and mine has a slow cook button. Not sure if you can slow cook if yours doesn't have one. It does have the delay cook button though.
9malls kk thx...I've been trying to count calories accurately but it looks likes I've been counting more then I thought.when it comes to rice....mainly because I'm not sure how much a cup exactly is.I don't know how a cup of water or a cup of milk would look like so I try to find vid's like urs to figure out how much 1 cup of something would look like.
1 little cup of rice turns out to be a lot when it's done. I just bought one of these steamers, and I made 2 cups of rice, it was seriously enough for like 4 people.
@@9malls sorry my cousin was upset today. She wanted to watch youtube on how to use this thingy. And she asked if she could use her account. She probably forgot to switch.
My manual says you should rinse the rice first.
Was anyone else yelling at him when he put the water in first? lol
Before you used it, did you wash ev with warm soapy water? Probably not because you didn’t wash the rice before you. It does make a difference

should **have*
Also it tells you to soak the rice before using

Friends it’s the perfect Christmas Present!!
Can fit only 3 cups rice in 8 cups rice cooker.

If u wash it first you can't taste anything , except excellent food💕 I just got the same one in 20 cup crockpot cooker cooks wonderful 💕

Thanks for the comment!
Can you put salt rice cooker
Where does the steam escape? Is there a steam-hole?
Yes, there is a steam-hole.
Qué rico! Yo también uso mucho esa olla y mis recetas están en español. 😄😄
Very helpful. Thank you. :)
great review man i feel the same way about the finish
Sorry for the stupid question, but is the steaming tray made out of plastic or ceraic/something else?
Plastic
Rice takes 25/29 min. The Broccoli takes 9. Overcooked.
lol, yup. That broccoli has got to be soggy.

Can you cook quinoa in it?
Yeah

1 cup rice / 1.5 cup water.
The ratio is always 1 rice to 2 water.....
One person here gets math lol.
"Rice cup" equals 3/4 cup.
yeah it counts down at the near end
soap and water sir
Dude,
I respect what you are trying to do by showing one continuous take from opening, but next time read the instructions first as oder people wrote you are always require to wash all items before them and also you are supposed to turn the rice first and let it sit in the cooker for a few minutes before consuming so it don't look like a "rice pancake" and actually it finish cooking evenly
Should've washed the inside first!!!!
Its thinking 🤔 lol that’s what I thought.😁 it’s cooking.
You're supposed to rince your rice at least twice, hun.
Completely unnecessary, honey bunch
Rinsing the rice will remove some of the starch from the rice also making it easier to clean so I’d recommend rinsing before cooking.
I hate the name hun. Hun. And what kind of a name is Darcus?????
That’s why I always wash my new stuff so I don’t taste the finish on the Cooker or the new pots and pans.
I was taught to wash new dishes and cookware and such before first use.
Something went wrong w mine. It never stopped spinning and it burnt it. I put the right ratios.
Hmm shouldn't do that
Brocolli is OVERCOOKED!
can somebody tell me that you do not only cook rice in this thing you can cook more
Uh, sure, i will:
+Victor Hitt
You do not only cook rice in this thing, you can cook more.
If you have to ask after watching this video, you probably aren't ready for something as complicated as using a rice cooker.
You can make a cake cook eggs rice a Roni oatmeal!!!!
Are you supposed to cook the rice and steam the vegetables all at once/same time?
+Connie Playa 3:55
+Connie Playa Yes, the direction book tells you how.
I'd use chicken stock instead of water and some salt btw ...
Eder Martínez and that's why you are fat
@123456bmx -- lol savage my dude.
Wow, you are really knowledgeable about nutrition, and a nice person too
un concejo cuando estes haciendo el proceso deberia de hacerlo sin meterte en medio del proceso porque no se ve a que botones le diste
Broccoli only takes 5 mins to steam dude. So, can you open it during a cook and add veggies?
Good idea. Thanks!

Yummy 😋
Add salt to the water rice!
Great review!
Cooking rice put water and clean before you cook and wash the broccoli show audience
Well you didn't use the cup that came with it. First mistake.
I don't think you are supposed to steam food at the same time as cooking rice. Food flavor will always get into the rice and food will always be over cooked by the time the rice is done!! You should cook rice ahead and then steam your food items.

Eat it!!
Next time read the directions better.....
You should have cleaned your rice cooker
you gotta put the rice in first before you add the water, and level out the rice...sheesh
+AHL “GoKings” Lee Following the direction booklet.. had no issues with bad rice no matter what the cooking method.
RTFM, wash your product before using it. otherwise good review
Totally unnecessary

Yes, all that rice from 1 cup
