5.0 out of 5 stars works great, February 17, 2007

This review is from: Panasonic SRG06FG 3.3-Cup (Uncooked) Automatic Rice Cooker (Kitchen)
Fast easy no fuss way to make rice in a snap. The directions are a little Engrish-y. But in a nutshell:

Scoop out your desired rice amount say 2 cups(using the enclosed scoop).
Rinse the rice a few times in a strainer to get some of the starch out--help it from making a bubbly mess and I find it makes better sticky rice.
1.Dump rice in cooker.
2.Add water to the proper line. Two cups of rice means you add water up to the fill line 2. And yes you put in the water after the rice is already in there.
3.Turn on, wait 15 minutes for the cooker to shut off and let the rice sit unmolested for 15 minutes before eating. = perfect rice.

The directions also recommend soaking the rice for 30 minutes before turning the cooker on, I never do and the rice turns out perfect...let the steam do the work and don't stir or take the lid off while cooking.

Super easy clean up since the unit is non-stick. Can't ask for more at the price. I love... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great basic rice cooker, January 5, 2006
This review is from: Panasonic SRG06FG 3.3-Cup (Uncooked) Automatic Rice Cooker (Kitchen)
This is a really great, basic rice cooker. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the more expensive rice cookers (no warming feature, no different settings, etc.), but it works well for cooking rice, it's compact, and reasonably priced. Prior to buying this one, we had another basic model made by another company that broke. We replaced with an identical one, and it broke as well. After going through two rice cookers, we decided to pay $5 more to get a different brand- this Panasonic. We have had no problems with it, and we also like the non-stick pot. With our old rice cooker, the rice would stick to the bottom of the pot, so we couldn't eat all of it. The Panasonic doesn't have this problem, so we can make smaller quantities of rice without wasting most of it. I have made white rice, brown rice, and quinoa in the rice cooker, and all have turned out well.

Update: March 2011- still going strong, although the non-stick coating is starting to show its age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For South Beach, March 15, 2006

This review is from: Panasonic SRG06FG 3.3-Cup (Uncooked) Automatic Rice Cooker (Kitchen)
Great small, basic rice cooker. Our old rice cooker had a 3 cup minimum which was overkill for a family of 3, especially when we started eating fewer carbs. This cooker makes 1-2 cups with no fuss.

This review is from: Aroma ARC-996 12-Cup (Cooked) Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, White (Kitchen)
Just received this rice cooker. Did alot of research and settled on this one. I cooked 1 cup of brown rice in it, and it came out perfect. It does take a while for the rice to cook (about 1 hour for brown rice, white rice around 30-35 min.) but I was more looking for perfect rice and not speedy rice. Made oatmeal in it this morning (took 30 min.) and it was perfect.

It is large for one person, but you are able to make large amounts of rice and meals when you need it. I dont think it is much bigger than the 6 cup or 8 cup models. It seems to handle small amounts of rice (1 cup) very well. Plus I have the comfort knowing I can make more than enough rice to feed a army! The steaming basket, large enough for Veggies and Meats is also a plus because you can steam them while you cook your rice. Perfect for making Yoshinoya style chicken bowls (Smile).

No complaints so far. Sure beats the hassle of making rice on the stovetop along with the cleanup. This... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well so far, July 21, 2011
This review is from: Aroma ARC-996 12-Cup (Cooked) Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, White (Kitchen)
I've cooked 1 brown and 2 white rice batches and all have come out very good. I've been following the rice package instructions for the amount of water instead of using the lines inside the cooker which are a bit hard to read without very good light. I even tried cooking only 1 scoop of rice, even thought they claim a minimum of 2, and it came out perfect. As with most rice cookers their measuring "cup" or scoop is actually 3/4 of a standard measuring cup.

I usually eat brown rice which takes long time to cook and needs supervision. I bought Aroma to save time and to have a perfect rice. The rice cooker works awesome, although I figured out that more water is needed for brown rice (I add 25% more water than is recommended). For rice medley which has some hard pieces I use this proportion: 2 cups of rice I fill with the water up to line 3; this is the cup that comes with the cooker, and the lines are inside the cooker to indicate how much water is needed). Rice comes delicious, not mushy.

I wish the rice cooker could be smaller, but it looks good and instructions are clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Rice Cooker! (Soak brown rice first!), August 10, 2011
By 
Paul F (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aroma ARC-150SB 20-Cup (Cooked) Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, Black/Silver (Kitchen)
We bought this rice cooker from a store whose name rhymes with "Halmart". Thinking that we knew how to cook rice, we loaded it up and fired away, only to get a tremendous mess of starchy goop that flooded the top of the unit and flowed down the side, collecting underneath. (It stinks and the stink gets worse if you forget that it's there...)

After reading reviews for other Aroma rice cookers here on Amazon, I discovered that soaking the rice fixes everything. And very fortunately, this unit comes with a delay timer. Just load the cooker with rice and water (measured, of course), press "Delay Timer" for the number of hours you'd like to delay (the number is the number hours when the rice will be finished), and choose "white rice" or "brown rice" (brown rice was giving us the most mess). I've set the timer as little as 2 hours, and the mess is eliminated even then. I believe that more delay is better. I've set it as long as 12 hours. I don't know the maximum number of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good rice cooker with some extra features not mentioned in the description, March 20, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Aroma ARC-150SB 20-Cup (Cooked) Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, Black/Silver (Kitchen)
It's probably a little bigger than what I had expected or needed, but who knows when you might actually need 20 cups of rice. It also had a couple of nice features that I didn't expect. There's a steam condensate catcher on the back of the unit so that when you open the lid, it doesn't all run down the back of the unit. It detaches easily for cleaning. Also, mine came with a rice paddle so don't bother purchasing an extra one because it's included. The cord was fairly long... about 4 feet so that helps with versatility in appliance placement. The first batch of rice I made was a brown, red, and long grain wild rice mix. It probably could have used just a touch extra water or perhaps I over filled the rice measurement cup. The brown and red rice were perfect but the long grain wild rice could have used an extra few minutes or some extra water. Probably a pitfall of mixing different types of rice and not a shortcoming of the machine. The only drawback that I saw was that the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Aroma fan but . . ., February 20, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Aroma ARC-150SB 20-Cup (Cooked) Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, Black/Silver (Kitchen)
This cooker was to replace my old Aroma rice cooker which I have loved for years. I have used it 2-3 times and so far, during each cooking, the water from the unit escapes from the top not only as steam, but as a goopy mess that leaks onto the counter if you aren't there to sop it up during the cooking process. Today I used the cooker again and to my surprise, there was none of the goopy mess. It worked perfectly and made perfect rice. I rinsed the rice (no soaking) before the cooking and put a little butter in the cooker and mixed with rice to coat. I also added about 1/2 cup extra water. I did open the cooker before it alerted me it was done and I fluffed the rice. It was perfect so I pulled the plug (another quirk they changed - my old one had a retractable cord which was fabulous) and let it sit for a few minutes before I was ready to serve. Maybe the cooker needed to be "broken in"?? Anyway, all is well and I'm happy with this cooker. As long as it continues to work the... Read more
