Worked good for awhile Aroma Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer

Even thought it looks smaller than the bigger one, it is not that small. For me, 6-8 people can rely on it. Aroma ARC-914SBD 4-Cup (Uncooked) 8-Cup (Cooked) Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer

After reading many reviews about so many different rice cookers, it appeared that this one was the best overall value and quality for a reasonable price. I purposely avoided the very expensive models as I didn't expect to use this machine on a daily basis therefore not worth a purchase price in the range of $ 200.00.
Bottom Line: The Aroma has been tested and works flawlessly. It makes perfect rice in about the time it says it will. It has added controls that cheaper versions lack which makes it very useful and overall it is quite easy to clean. I do recommend that after a gentle hand cleaning that the lid remain open and allow possible moisture under hard to reach areas time to evaporate.

This product is well worth the purchase price and I would buy this again if I needed a bigger one or one for a gift.

Cute little steamer. My rice gets a touch brown on the bottom layer but I really like this affordable cooker. Have yet to explore the steaming aspect.

This is very simple and very easy to use. I Love the timer delay on it. Makes dinner much easier.Perfect Rice couldn't be easier. I prefer to add a bit more water than recommended to assure the rice stays moist. Worth the investment.

We were looking for a rice cooker for 2 people and this one works perfectly. Rice has come out great. This little guy just keeps on cooking. its pretty easy to clean and it keeps the rice warm real well. A bonus is that if you keep the rice warmer on for a while you get a real light layer of toasted rice on the bottom.I really wanted a small rice cooker for day to day use. This a very neat rice cooker. Cooks well, not much of water steaming out(Like the other brands) takes little space on the counter and looks very clean because of the stainless steel look. Cleaning is easy with nonstick container. I recommend this to everyone.I cannot cook rice to perfection to save my life, so I finally purchased a rice cooker. This is my first and I am very pleased! The compact design, ease of use and clean-up are two thumbs up. It's simple enough that my children can assist me in the kitchen and I love the stay warm feature. This allows me to prepare my meat and vegetables and not worry about stirring or straining my rice. The brown rice feature is PERFECT! A delicious, non-sticky and not overcooked batch every time.

Excellent product, easy to use, clean up is also a breeze. We use it at least once a week and it does what it says.Great little cooker - emphasis on little - a bit smaller than I expected but actually perfect for producing a perfect 6 cups of brown rice (which I find challenging to get right using other methods.) This fit the bill for me.

Really Good Miracle Exclusives ME81 Stainless Steel Rice Cooker - Steamer

This is a pretty basic rice cooker, but it works really well. I like that it is stainless rather than having a non-stick coating. It might be a little harder to clean, but at least it shouldn't be introducing carcinogens into the rice. View More NEW 8 Cups Capacity White Automatic Cook to Warm Stainless Steel Rice Cooker

This rice cooker is great for several reasons:

1) it is stainless steel

2) It can cook ,barley, quinoa, rice , brown rice, lentils , bulgur , just about any grain. (you have to experiment with the amount of water)

3) the genius of the design is that the bowl is shaped so that when the water has been absorbed, the cooker senses it, and goes into warming mode. If you want the grain to be softer , you need to use more water. you can add water and push the button down again if necessary (after waiting a couple minutes)

4) it has no electronics to break down...the shape of the bowl takes care of knowing when the water is absorbed.It's an inherently intelligent design.

5) with the steamer, you can cook rice in the bottom and vegetables , tofu etc in the top simultaneously. Just start it , and it will shut off when done , and go into the warm mode. Good if you can't watch it .. You just have to make sure you use the right proportion of water...

This rice cooker works fine. We had a previous model for many years, but it had an aluminum pan. It was the right size for us though. Our choices here were a three cup cooker or this eight cup cooker. We liked the four cup cooker we had. In comparison, this feels large and cumbersome. It cooks fine though.

My mother has this rice cooker and she just adores it. It makes great rice every time! I purchased this one for my Aunt who is very much concerned with her health and anything she can do to reduce her risk of just about anything she is on top of!

This rice cooker apparently doesn't have a substance that contributes to the plaque building that causes Alzhiemers that any product with regular teflon has...That's a major plus in my book. I'll be purchasing one for myself very soon as well!
