I just bought one for 20$ and it was such a nice review of the rice cooker. Usually in the Hispanic culture we cook our rice with Vegetable oil. So i wanted to try steamed cooked rice.
I just got one of these and I absolutely love it. I have been steaming rice and all kinds of vegetable, tilapia, onions, potatoes etc. Everything has turned out absolutely delicious. This is a great appliance to have if you are trying to change your eating habits like I am.
I hate mushy rice and I love my Aroma rice cooker. It cooks it to my liking. I am horrible at cooking rice on the stovetop. I always cook a little more rice bc it does get crunchy on the bottom.
Thank you I purchased the same rice cooker from Macy's but for some strange reason the instruction book did not come with it so this video help me to know how to cook the rice and steam. Thank you
Thanks, I had no idea what those side markings were for. I think because your unit is so wobbly, you should place the bowl on a flat & even surface and then add the water to the mark. Makes all the difference with regards to burnt bit at the bottom. Sometimes if the smell of burnt rice is apparent during cooking, open lid, add a little water and close again.
@@paulywalnuts5008 You will never be able to accurately fill to the mark if the black bowl wobbles or tilts in a direction. Hence my suggestion to place it on a flat countertop and to then pour the water to desired marking. You are already going to make a mistake due to parallax error so why compound it by adding water to a bowl that tilts? But I can see why this amateurish way of adding water would make sense to people who never took Physics and Chemistry in high-school. I’ve been there and accuracy made all difference in someone who got an A+ and someone who barely scraped an A. Watch _Breaking Bad_ tv-series to understand why.
Yes, it's meant to do that. It's helpful to check the doneness on the steaming veggies after 8 to 10 minutes; when they're done, use oven mitts to remove the steaming tray, then replace the lid on the cooker to let the rice finish.
Yes, I do this often with black beans (my favorite bean). I use one 15 ounce can of black beans and two cups of dried rice, cooked with chicken broth and assorted seasonings (such as Mrs. Dash), and I steam some veggies to mix in when everything's done. I love how easy it is!
So the directions on the side of the rice bag won't work? I have a batch cooking now, but I don't know where my manual is so I just put a cup of rice to a cut and a half to water. Wish me luck!
Hello, I saw this product on amazon and it has some pictures attached that are confusing.... these pictures related are rice, beans, veggies, even pasta and spaghetti (such as alfredo, bolognesa) is this 4 real? can I cook all that?
Hi Laurel, glad the review helped. Aroma's website has recipes but it's not specific to this model rice cooker. Here is one recipe I've done with this rice cooker: ruclips.net/video/P_wHHB6K5EU/видео.html Enjoy :)
Can I spray olive oil spray a slight coat on inside before adding rice an water? To keep rice from sticking to the inside of it does, or would it be no need to ?
I rinse a 15 ounce can of black beans, and add the beans to 2 cups of rice (also rinsed), and once it's cooked, the cooker is pretty full, but it doesn't boil over.
I cook anything you can imagine in my pot, except for a barbecue, not being funny, I cook my pasta and sauce, my seafood, dude, it's a really good item to have.
why does the dark 'pot' wiggle. My instructions said to 'screw' that little button(element) in the bottom of the heat making down so the big pot 'down' so it won't wiggle. Why did you not show how to screw it down? The crispy rice is called "ta-deek". There are ways to enhance the flavor of tadeek and adding raw sliced potato to be browned crispy can be used on the bottom as well. If no recipes on line for cookinging this -- check with a Persian chef. I'm taking the unit back -- too many unresolved electrical issues about that wiggling button.
Is it normal that the lid does not fit the pot completely? I got mine through Amazon and the lid does not sit down completely leaving spacing on both sides! 😫
I add salt and butter after the rice cooks, though I do put other seasonings in the rice prior to cooking it, and I usually cook the rice in low-sodium chicken broth instead of water, to add flavor. I've found this works well for me. Try different things, and you'll find your preference, too.
I just use my cooker today 5-17-2020 i decribe to your channel for your receipe using this same Rice cooker Ps i didn't no how to use the steamer so now i do by u showing me because i saw where they had the vegetables in salmon I'm saying isn't the water of the steam Vegetables going in on the Rice L.ol well i didn't no even though i do have the direction but i was just wonder y'all don't judge me i can read L.o.l just wanted a example how to use the steamer that's all Thank u for showing the process with the steamer i got the Rice down pack L.o.l Ok y'all all have a great day So thanks @ Bestkitchenerviews God bless your channel!!🍱🍲Ps i put the wrong channel sorry Bestkitchensviews i saw another channel showning how to use her Rice cooker but its was like the one i got in you showing us My bad L.o.l
5oz "cup" wtf? Manufacturers need not call it a 6 Cup rice cooker if they use a 5oz container to measure. 5oz times 6 is 30oz. 30oz is 3.75 Cups(8oz=Cup) of Rice.

i just meal prepped yesterday as i’m trying to eat healthier, i messed up my rice pretty bad so i just ordered this! :)
@@XiNightmareZiX Just remember for rice it is one part rice and 2 parts water.
Thanks for this review! I really want to simplify my diet and eat more steamed veggies and whole grains/quinoa/rice!
Hello. How long do you steam your tilapia with this cooker? 15 minutes?
@@jaylenbrownfan2112 i DO MINE FOR 15 TO 20 MINUTES.
Thanks for clarifying the measurements. I didn't understand what they meant in the instruction manual. This was much clearer!
Glad it was helpful 😀
Good review. Very straight forward. No nonsense. Well done.
Thanks, James :)
Quick note guys, always add your rice 1st then fill water to the appropriate line otherwise you will have soggy rice lol
Thank you for this review. My local Best Buy always has this one in stock and now I know why. Very honest and helpful review.
Thank You 😀
Thanks for this review. was about to order this. Thank God u explained that it’s 6serving. I thought it’s 6 cups cooker.
I now know how to cook rice in my new rice cooker. Thank you.
👍😀
Thank you for the great info. I just received this for free without a manual.
I hate mushy rice and I love my Aroma rice cooker. It cooks it to my liking. I am horrible at cooking rice on the stovetop. I always cook a little more rice bc it does get crunchy on the bottom.

Wow, very good video. Very well done and exactly what I was looking for.

It's supposed to be this way, the black bowl comes out and when there's weight on the burner it settles evenly.

Just bought one & did not get instruction manual or steamer in it. Will be taking it back
Ours is identical but labeled as a "Rival" brand name. Thank you for your help. We made rice today...lol
Really well done video here. I bought this exact same model, and am going to give some brown rice a try. Cheers.
Thanks 😀
Excellent i was looking for this type of rice cooker 🙌🏼 hero !
😁
Thank you- mine just arrived today👌🏾
Hello,
Can this rice cooker also cook brown rice, or only white rice?
Both 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I can make my chicken Fried rice now.
Informative review--nice, thanks....
😁
Thank you so much for explaining clearly.
👍😀
Is it normal to smell like the pots burning or something on the first time using?
Yes, it’s common with most non stick appliances 😁
Is it possible to cook the rice and steam the veggies at the same time?
Yes, it's meant to do that. It's helpful to check the doneness on the steaming veggies after 8 to 10 minutes; when they're done, use oven mitts to remove the steaming tray, then replace the lid on the cooker to let the rice finish.
Can you cook beans/peas with the rice together?
Yes, I do this often with black beans (my favorite bean). I use one 15 ounce can of black beans and two cups of dried rice, cooked with chicken broth and assorted seasonings (such as Mrs. Dash), and I steam some veggies to mix in when everything's done. I love how easy it is!
@@strivingformindfulness2356Sorry for late reply, thank you!
Good explanation 👍🏻
+MS feed Thanks :)
We lost our manual, thanks for saving us! -Ben & Brooke
Glad I could help!
We have the rice cooker but don’t have the included measuring cups. Are the included cups different than actual measuring cups?
It says in the manual that a 3/4 cup is the direct equivalent to the little plastic measurer that comes with the cooker in case you don't have it. 👍😘
What is your go to white rice to cook? All the different types overwhelm me lol
This was an awesome review!!!
Have same cooker but my rice wasn't coming out properly now ill try your way thanks
You’re welcome 😁
Same here. It was really crisped on the bottom and somewhat stuck together. I followed the instructions except I used broth instead of water...🤷🏾♀️
Great video!
Thanks 😊
Really helpful tips
😁
So the directions on the side of the rice bag won't work? I have a batch cooking now, but I don't know where my manual is so I just put a cup of rice to a cut and a half to water. Wish me luck!
Thanks just what i was looking for.did your's come with the streamer or did you just buy from somewhere else .thanks
The steam tray is included with the rice cooker 😁
Nice job on the video. More could take a lesson from you on how to do videos. Thank you!
👍😁
Hello,
I saw this product on amazon and it has some pictures attached that are confusing.... these pictures related are rice, beans, veggies, even pasta and spaghetti (such as alfredo, bolognesa) is this 4 real? can I cook all that?
Very nice video and very detailed, great job. You got yourself a new subscriber. Also would you recommend this cooker for a college student?
+Cooler Thanks so much! Yes, it's perfect for a college student since many quick and easy meals can be made in it 😀
Good review but you didn’t explain when to plug the unit before and after and why.
good review.
+Lokesh Thakur Thanks 😀
Great video 👍! I really appreciate your review
Thanks, Luis 😀
Thank You
Very informative

Love your review it has really helped me. mine didn't come with the instruction manual.
Do you know where I can get recipes online?

Can you make pot stickers (Chinese dumplings) with these?
Yes, you can steam the dumplings :)
thanks, that helps a lot. keep posting.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful 😀
Thank you

Thanks from Egypt: )
+peace& love 😀
wow thanks much
Can you cook black beans in this?
You might want to go to the Aroma web site and download the manual. That info should be in there. Black beans probably require overnight soaking.
I rinse a 15 ounce can of black beans, and add the beans to 2 cups of rice (also rinsed), and once it's cooked, the cooker is pretty full, but it doesn't boil over.
Does it tell you the water level to use for brown rice?
thank you sooo much
You're welcome 😀
I cook anything you can imagine in my pot, except for a barbecue, not being funny, I cook my pasta and sauce, my seafood, dude, it's a really good item to have.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Agreed, we take ours camping to make rice AND to heat pre-cooked meals. Soooooo handy!
Good to know it can cook more than just rice&veggies. Thank you!
So no condiments are use ?
Good information.
😀
Got this to budget and meal prep for the gym
Also the price on food just went up in California
thanks lady
Yumm
How long does it take to cook?
Wash the rice
Where can I get this cooker?
Amazon.
❤️❤️❤️ my Aroma RC but wish the cooking pot was much Heavier not stick made instead of cheap aluminum that scratch so fast after couples of use.
Use a little oily spray and pinch of salt in rice and than add frozen vegetables on top than press cook perfectly cook rice and veggies

can you not cook rice and steam vegetables at the same time??how
How can i order rice cooker
What if i can’t see light on?
Thank u I love RUclips
Is it normal that the lid does not fit the pot completely? I got mine through Amazon and the lid does not sit down completely leaving spacing on both sides! 😫
Recipes Lady, I need recipes!
No oil?
Will steaming rice when you simultaneously cook broccoli make the rice taste like broccoli?

The water recommendation was way too little. The rice was really crunchy.
Some of us like it, what you call crunchy, I call it firm.
These rice cookers no longer come with a steamer. Great you have one.
Informative but I really hope you invested in a better mic this sounds like you recorded it on an old timey radio or a tin can on a string
Thank you you r beautiful 😇
I always look to see if people rinse their rice before cooking 🌚
5oz "cup" wtf? Manufacturers need not call it a 6 Cup rice cooker if they use a 5oz container to measure. 5oz times 6 is 30oz. 30oz is 3.75 Cups(8oz=Cup) of Rice.
Not rinsed enough
Not don’t faint dad where the bouthg
Very helpful don't like this one. Thank you for letting me know it don't shut off. Almost bogt one
You are sound like by birth product reviewer.
😁
1 cup of rice != 8OZ as they mean one scoop 3/4th they provided. use me as a dislike button for both this video and the instruction guide.
