“I guess I will throw this rice cooker away. It's my second rice cooker, my mom is also going through the same issue.”
“I use mine constantly.”
“I would recommend you guys **not** buy it. I'm planning to change to a different model (at least) once this stops dead.”
“rice cooker, and it makes very good rice (so far)”
“A rice cooker is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. It costs about 30 dollars and its all electric. Wash rice, dump it in, fill it to the line and you're done.”
“It also can be used as a steamer *and* and crock pot. Definitely worth it - you can make all sort of stuff with little to no effort. I use the crap out of mine.”
“and it's so, so easy. She can add rice + an equal amount of water, then put in the insert and toss any veggies in it and press the cook button - 30 minutes later her meal is ready.”
“and it cooks the rice perfectly every time. My 8-year-old Zojirushi recently gave out, and I had a stash of Amazon points so I figured why not. It definitely keeps up with the Zojirushi.”
“I have a rice cooker (aroma arc 2000) that comes with a steam tray for veggie, shrimp, cut up meat and doubles as a slow cooker, even bakes a cake. Best $40 I ever spent.”
“With the rice cooker, you can put a cup of quinoa in the cooker part, and a chicken breast and a head of broccoli in the steamer basket. 20 minutes later...boom --dinner.”
“will basically give you perfect rice at the push of a button, add rice + water and walk away. keeps it warm after it's done cooking until you're ready for it.”
“it will make you tons of cheap rice with nearly the same amount of effort as microwavable rice [all you do is add water and press start] and will taste better”
“I love it because my kitchen is tiny and I can set it up in my dining area and have the stove free for whatever else I'm cooking. It steams vegetables too!”
“My $25 Aroma rice cooker cooks rice just as well as my friend's zojirushi. I've even made beans and rice in it as well as irish oatmeal”
“it takes about 20-30 minutes, with 1.75 cups (the cup that comes with the cooker, not measuring cups) of oats and 3.5 cups of water.”
“That model I linked to which has a lid that kinda locks down is better than some of the cheaper ones (like Black and Decker with a glass lid) because with those other ones you had to get the rice out right away or it would start burning.”
“The solution is the Aroma ARC-753SG. This small rice cooker has been wonderful. Stainless steel (a must for me) lines the interior of the pot, which has no rough edges. Both the base and the glass lid are durable, lightweight, and simple to clean”
“my previous rice cooker was a much less expensive but similar Aroma ARC-6006 which did the job for rice just fine.”
“I use it to cook rice, chicken, and broccoli all-in-one. Less dishes and pretty much the "set it and forget it".”
“it's ez-pz. Makes rice the same way every time, the lid latches and there is a vent hole in the back.”
“We have a simple Aroma ARC-914S rice cooker that gets the job done in about 20 min.”
“Here's my secret weapon: [Rice Cooker]”
“my cheap little Aroma works for me.”
“Try the Aroma ARC-150SB. The rice has the perfect texture when it's done. I also use this Rice Cooker to make brown rice, which cooks fine but takes a little longer than white rice”
