AMAZING PRODUCT TO USE.

'm a kitchen appliances fanatic, and this Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer is my new obsession. My family eats a lot of rice, first off. Those delicious curries and masalas don't even plate well without some lovely basmati. Secondly, I have an entire shelf of slow cooker recipe-laden cookbooks as well as the moxie to just create them from time to time. The first thing I decided to make was my turkey chili. (Making chili is a rite of passage--it means summer is over and fall has arrived!) This thing is about its business for sure. I allowed the chili to cook for 90 minutes after combining the ingredients. The only thing I prepped separately was the turkey, which I simmered in a skillet on medium heat to brown. Had the whole house smelling like a dream. The rice cooker function is a favorite, because basmati rice (our favorite variety) is delicious BUT a pain to cook on the stove top. I prefer it served kind of sticky, and the ricer effects that perfectly every time. I had to put this thing to the real test. It's a food steamer as well. As you probably also know, Hubby Namastè is a pescatarian. He does not eat poultry, beef, or pork--but he does love seafood. Salmon, kingfish, and shrimp are his favorites. I could not have chosen a better cooker. Hubby Namastè's seafood came out perfect. The Aroma holds between 4 and 20 cups. It's straightforward and easy to use. The buttons are very self explanatory--you literally put on your ingredients, add water if needed, press a button, and you're set. It does not take up a ton of cabinet space, and it looks so sleek. I love the black and silver finish, as our appliances are stainless steel. Ours came with the cooker, its steamer basket, a cup for water/rice, and a spatula spoon for stirring. Also, some coupons, recipes, and the instruction manual.

The best part is you can start a meal and walk away,leave the house...you will come back with house smelling delicious and warm food waiting for you. I make most things in here:rice and steamed veggies, whole chicken, hard boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, stews and soups, chili,

It cooks rice perfect

Very easy to use & does just what it says. I like the idea of being able to steam other foods while at the same time cooking rice or quinoa...a meal ready to go all in one place. The only problem I had was that the slow cooker only cooks on high temp. Some online research confirmed that as I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong with the settings. As long as you can plan for this it shouldn't be a problem but I wouldn't plan on leaving it unattended all day.

Perfect. In love with my rice and slow cooker

Program and cook when you want .. beautiful feature ..

Great rice cooker for larger families. Can't wait to try steaming vegetables while cooking rice.

This cooks rice but it doesn't stop cooking it at the correct time. If I don't check on it, the rice would burn. This same issue happened with my last rice cooker from the same brand (Aroma).

Previous model had durability issues with lid breaking after 1.5 years of normal use. Material quality could be improved for everyday use. Better than other brands overall.
