Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Aroma 8 cup Digital Rice Cooker. This is the latest model with a Quinoa function. LINK to this Rice Cooker: amzn.to/2stGXWg If you want to see the other 8 cup model review: • Aroma Rice Cooker and ...
With any rice cooker, the cup amount means cups of cooked rice, so an 8 cup rice cooker will give you 8 cups of cooked rice, not 8 cups of raw rice.
The steam vent is right in the middle. Push this button to release the lid. Hold the handle and lift up. Here is the inner pot with a non-stick coating, there is a max line marked so don’t fill above that. A plastic steam tray is included as well as a measuring cup and spatula.
When you first get the unit, wash the inner pot and all accessories with warm, soapy water and dry. The outside can be wiped with a damp cloth.
This is the condensation collector. It pulls off and you can empty it after cooking. On the panel, there is a white rice function, brown rice which is for longer cooking whole grains, quinoa, quick rice which cooks about 7 minutes faster than the white rice function, oatmeal, saute then simmer, slow cook which can be set from 2 to 10 hours and steam which runs from 5 to 30 minutes after water has boiled. With the delay timer, you can set the time to have white rice ready in 1 to 15 hours or brown rice in 2 to 15 hours. When anything you’re cooking is finished, the unit will automatically go to keep warm mode. The keep-warm function for rice is up to 12 hours.
The measuring cup holds ounces of rice or grams. This is a standard US ¾ cup measure in case you lose it.
You can cook rice and steam at the same time so I’ll cook rice and green beans. This is 2 cups of long grain rice measured with the included cup. Rinse the rice and drain it. Put the rice in the inner pot. Fill water to the line that matches 2 cups of rice. Close the lid. Plug in the unit. Press the on button. Press white rice. The light will illuminate and you’ll see a chasing pattern. This is 8 ozs 235g cut up fresh green beans, put that on the steam tray. There is a chart with steaming times for meat and vegetables in the manual. There’s also a chart for rice cooking times. The 2 cups of rice takes about 35 minutes to cook and the beans take 15 minutes to steam. So, I set my timer to 20 minutes and put the beans in. Open the lid and put the tray in, close the lid. The display will countdown for the final 10 minutes. When the cycle is finished, the unit beeps and switched to keep warm mode. Open the lid and stir the rice to distribute any moisture.
