| 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful  Great Rice Cooker! (Soak brown rice first!), By Paul F (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Aroma ARC-150SB 20-Cup Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer (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...

(CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Aroma ARC-150SB 20-Cup Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer (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...

Sometimes if light is not too bright, the lines are hard to see. I just shine a flashlight on the line and then pour in the water or a combo of broth and water to appropriate line. I make brown rice more ogten than white but rice always turns out great. Love the Organic Harvest Medley by SunWest which I buy from Costco. FYI Item 996000 It is even better with Sweet Red Chili sauce drizzled over the rice. |
