[@mthomas653]

I got my cooker about a month ago but just opened the box this morning. I immediately had questions and turned to KZbin. Your video was the first one up. You answered all my questions. Great video. Thank you.

[@jeolmo]

Been using this awesome rice cooker for a year. I lost the measuring cup but thanks to you, I know it's 3/4 cup. To ensure a non-stick coating, I add a dab of something like olive oil, ghee butter (or regular), and this not only prevents any sticking but adds a little texture and moisture. Happy Cooking!

[@lour58]

How long does 2 cup of rice take to cook?

[@jeolmo]

@@lour58 I'd say less than 20-25 minutes. I like to add things like chicken breast chunks, mixed veggies, which add a few more minutes. If you are into rice and beans (like I am) you can buy the Goya Rice & Red Beans, Seasoned Rice Mix, add a little olive oil and necessary water...and voila! You're a Latin chef :-). They have different Goya Rice - check them out. As for this cooker, GET IT!

[@DONSATANAS]

In addition to a little oil, a couple pieces of long onions gives I it a nice flavor

[@nancycathey1401]

wow! I’m glad you took out the time to explain and why… so much simpler. Thank you!

[@ron78]

Great idea. Thanks 👍🏻

[@debraalvarado2913]

It's extremely easy to use, I use it 2 or 3 times a week. I hand wash my inner pot, it takes minutes to do. Empty the condensation catcher every time. I mostly make Jasmine or basmati, I use low sodium chicken broth and lime zest or lemon zest. It's the best appliance I own. Great price great product. I wholeheartedly agree with this video!

[@ruggiec.ruggleby6511]

I dusted off my Aroma rice cooker intending to give it away but I changed my mind and decided to start using it again. There were some things about it that I never knew. This demo was extremely helpful!!

[@pattiabb3259]

I bought this 6 months ago and although I had no problem cooking rice on the stove, this rice cooker is great. Just cooks on its own and you don't have to watch it like on the stove. I misplaced the measuring cup forvthe cooker but just use a 1 to 1 ratio for water and rice and it comes out perfect every time.

[@bluebonnetjasmine969]

Yes it is, I've cooked white rice, BBQ country style ribs. BBQ chicken legs, sweet potatoes, broccoli and now I'm steaming Brussel sprouts. So it's cooked everything perfect. And no standing over it like cooking on stove top. I love my Aroma 8 cup Rice Cooker.

[@micki1973]

Perfect! When I seen like 10+ min video I almost left but remembered you can now scan over to see where the content your looking for is...and it worked, question answered...I was wondering about the little thing in the center going around and around. Thank you so much! I really like mine

[@curateitgorl]

Just recently received this and came here bc I was confused about the "chasing lines" once I start my rice cooker to steam rice. This has helped me! Thank you so much

[@cordeliasbs32]

Thanks for being so thorough. I didn't know about that condensation catcher and mine had mold! Glad to know to clean it now!

[@michellesonnen832]

Wow had mine for 11 years to heat gel pads. Now in 2024, just cooked some rice for the puppy, had no idea you could remove that section of the lid. Saved us from getting sick in the future as left out rice breeds a bacterium. Not sure where the booklet is, that was 11 years and a major move ago. The rice came out perfectly. Liked it so well, I'm buying the newest model for myself. THANK YOU.

[@ninjareli]

Thank you so much for actually explaining how to clean the cooker! I've seen so many reviews and no one had explained it! Very helpful video 🤗

[@iceartist22]

OMG THANK YOU -- I just got this & tried it last night for the first time. LOVED the way it cooked the rice & I steamed some salmon too, perfect!! BUT then I saw the condensation on the gasket at the top & worried how on earth to dry it. Thought I was going to have to return it --- you saved the day showing that the inner lid comes off!! The book doesn't say that, at least that I noticed. Popped it off, dried everything, & now I'm going to keep it & use it all the time!! :)

[@alfredobaro2279]

Thank you for this review! Was really worried because I've never had a rice cooker, so I wasn't sure about pricing, brands and quality. It is such a helpful and complete video on it.

[@MollyFullofgrace]

Thank you so much! Everything I was hoping to know about my rice cooker 😊. I lost my cup and was confused on the amount of rice to water on water line. You have explained all that was needed including delay timer. Thank you

[@runawayreece]

Can you steam veggies while making the rice at the same time? Or do you have to do that separately?

[@jeremye997]

Thanks for the review. A lot of people say 2 cups of water per 1 of rice but it just kept coming out soggy all the time. Thanks for clarifying the lines on the cooker.

[@pointsonthecurve8098]

I just bought the Aroma 5000 SB and the first thing I noticed was all of the things that came with it. Plus the new appliance smell was strong is it ok to go ahead and cook in it or run it through the dishwasher I don't know if it is sanitized from the factory or not. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

[@CoralHoyt]

I think I just rinsed mine before I used it. But if it smells really strong, I would probably wash it first.

[@tmangamingx]

@@CoralHoyt My food turned out ok Coral. It just had that " New car smell " Except with New aroma smell.

[@kathyfann]

I love this little amazing appliance it cooks so much more than rice

[@unhiddenhistory]

I have this rice cooker, and I can definitely vouch for its worth! I use mine at least once a week---I love my rice---and it's easy to clean, too.

[@acecyxyooj6954]

Is there a way to have the "keep warm " keep warm not turn off if you have rice in it? Cause my rice cooker turn the "keep warm" off after a while and the manual doesn't tell you to set anything up.

[@Truckngirl]

I know, right? It's awesome! Not just rice, beans, greens, anything slow. It's a multipurpose gadget I needed in my kitchen.

[@barbaramcquown9907]

I did not know the inside the lid came off also, and junk city is was... You are talking 6 months use... and, the small cup on back I found later... I love mine... We use about 3-4 times a week, for my 24 month aged Basmati Rice... I was ready to throw away today, when I saw what was under the removable lid... But, I found it, cleaned it and you confirmed, that I did not break my rice maker... I love it...

[@CoralHoyt]

Haha yeah, I feel like they should make it more obvious that those things can be removed and cleaned so you don't wait 6 months or more before figuring it out!

[@NDemanuele1]

This is very helpful! I own this identical Rice cooker and been using it regularly. Question: Do you know the process of cooking a stew with rice? I did it yesterday and while I had to add a little extra water to ensure the rice cooked thoroughly. In the end it turned out ok, but could've been better. I thought there was a little too much liquid. The process I used was throwing everything in the pot including the rice. However, I let the rice ( brown rice) soak for about a half hour before rinsing it and putting it in the pot. I'm thinking next time I can start the rice first, then add everything in later. Anyway, interested in getting your input on this. Thanks!

[@colettemcwilliams1325]

I think the rice would be overcooked if ulyou put it in first.

[@ripleymccauley3071]

Hi! Your cute as can be! I came to KZbin after buying this rice cooker the one we had was too small but much more clear cut on how to use. I did think I was doing something wrong when the light was circling! I’m happy you cleared that up! I didn’t even realise it had a delay! Great feature!

[@W.E.A.S.A.H]

Haha well said. It’s funny how by his grace we grow from eating from our parents hand. My curious hand just added a new recipe to the rice. Wait until my mother discovers the change ,when she eat the rice she perceives it to be from her hand 😃

[@mvooquendo4244]

Thank you for explaining everything. That was great presentation. So if I want to eat my white rice in one hour, be will it cook it in one hour ? The reasoning i ask us because I make white rice and it usually is done in 45 minutes

[@noahriding5780]

How long will these cookers last for? Thanks.

[@YouDummy]

I bought this same cooker last night and the instructions to me were completely confusing. If I put one cup of rice it says the white rice will be done between 32 and 37 minutes. If I put 4 cups of rice in, it will be between 43 and 48 minutes. Is there a 'more time' feature that I'm supposed to use, or I'm misreading something?

[@AmberStonez]

Thanks for this video! Ive been nervous to use or try one but i miss eating rice and i suck at cooking it correctly. So im excited to try it out today! When i have more time for delay timer ill give that option a go.

[@trianj12]

Great video. I just purchased and in reading the cleaning instructions could not figure how the top lid was supposed to be removed for cleaning. Instructions very lacking. Also would have been confused about the lines chasing around until the final 10 minutes. Your video cleared up a myriad of questions. Hope you will do a follow up on your uses with the cooker.

[@adinahotilovac16]

So does it automatically detect how long it needs to cook? Since there is just a “chaser light” and no timer?

[@gingerkave5517]

Are we supposed to pop off the steam valve to clean?

[@drupowell1515]

Hi Coral, great video! Quick question as I have the same rice cooker. Inside the pot there are two sets of lines. One is cup, the other looks like a cursive "L". Is that "L" side represent liters? Thanks

[@SS-xr7jf]

I know people are whining about this video being too long with too much talking. But I needed to know how to take the inner lid off and came out knowing that and unexpectedly learning about how the delay feature works, so clearly it’s doing something right.

[@tinamariepanzera1330]

I was going to make lentil soup today. I saute my onions and celery. But I pushed the button for saute it didnt get hot. I ended up putting my soup on stove. When I sauted on stove I thought I could put it on soup. The timer read two hours but it wasnt counting down. Any tips? So I could use it in future? For soups

[@sherric7860]

Hi! Thank you for the great video. It was very helpful. The inner lid tip was so important. I would never have figured out that part came off. I bought the rice cooker in a big part due to your video. There are two sets of lines and numbers on the inner pot for the rice. I was wondering if you, or anyone else, knew what the lines and numbers mean under the e. The lines do not line up with the lines for 1, 2, etc and the numbers start with a 0. I’m sure the answer is obviously, but I can’t figure it out. I have read the instructions and googled, but some how couldn’t find the answer. Thank you.

[@livingbylove]

I have one similar but not exact (my buttons are in a gum drop shaped panel rather than a square) and i bought it used on fb market place. I pushed power and white rice and the little dots started chasing each other and I thought it was waiting for me to do something else and I didn’t know what to do so set off to KZbin. I very much appreciate you addressing that bc I wasn’t sure.

[@ogbigerndog835]

Question if it takes 40 minutes to cook rice but i want to steam some vegetables . And vegetable only takes 15 minutes . Do i open the lid at 25 minutes add my vegetable and close the lid . And let it steam for another 15 minutes. Or how do i do it. Thanks

[@elodieelliott]

Thank you for the advice. My friend got me this rice cooker and I needed some advice about the rice to water ratio 😊

[@JRahman14]

When cooking rice on the stove-top, I would usually add a few drops of coconut oil to a pot to prevent rice sticking to the pot. Would I be able to do this with the rice cooker ?

[@CoralHoyt]

Yes, you can.

[@naseerahvj]

When cooking on the stove you often sauté your rice a little bit in oil so that it doesn’t stick to itself this is common in many cultures. In a rice cooker you cannot do that but you can add a dab of butter or other oil.

[@JojoLannister]

In a slow cooking, When is the actual cooking start? The first hour of cooking or the last hour of cooking?? I have a rich fiber mixed rice+grain need to be soaked in water for 3hours before cooking. Does that mean I can skip the soaking process and slow cook for 4 hours in this cooker?? Few times I did cook first, and let it warm for 4 hours but some grain still hard.

[@crispaker]

I'm wondering what's the difference between the white rice and flash rice. I mean the result. If it can cook in less time with the flash rice, why you have to cook in white rice option? Just kinda confused. Thank you in advance
