Perfect food
on June 4, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it!! It provides perfect rice and oatmeal every time!! If I could suggest one thing, it is to have a stainless steel pot instead of the coated one.

Our trials are getting better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it but have been finding the instructions are not accurate. We have had to add more water than the booklet calls for. Last couple of times it has worked well adding more water for fuffy rice, not rice that is hard and unable to fluff.

Well made, and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this cooker because it does beans and steams vegetables as well as rice. I've cooked rice and steamed vegetables so far, and both work well. The steamer stays on longer than required, so far, for brussel sprouts and broccoli. However, I have decided to just stop it prior to the full time. It is very easy to clean, and that I appreciate so much. It is attractive, fits well on the lower shelf of my kitchen island, and I pull it out to use it. Very happy with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great little cooker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very glad that I decided to purchase the grain and rice cooker. It is pricey but worth it. I have had the cooker for a month and have made several kinds of rice, beans and grains. It is very easy to use, The Product Guide (which must be downloaded, it isn't included in the packaging) is very detailed with instructions on how to use the appliance, listing minimum and maximum ingredient amounts, cooking and steaming times, step by step instructions on setting up custom cooking cycles, etc. Everything I cooked has come out well; but, you need to experiment to find your preferred texture - soft, regular or firm.
I have very limited counter space; but, at only a little over 13" wide and about 8 pounds, its easy to move from the shelf where it is stored. It is easy to clean and I appreciate the pre-wash cycle.
I highly recommend the grain and rice cooker.

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! I just add water and rice and let it cook on its own. Perfect proportions of water as well. It’s pretty strong and big but it works great. You can also set a time when you want it to start cooking so it works as a slow cooker as well. I didn’t get to try lentils yet but rice works great!

A useful addition to your kitchen
on May 9, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kitchenaid rice cooker is the bomb. It is a great tool for working families. It makes perfect rice every time.this beautiful sleek helpful tool would be a great addition to your kitchen. I was skeptical of a rice cooker, as I still cooked rice in a pan like my great-grandmother, still using her pan.
Well, I toyed with it for several meals and even tried a few recipes in the book that came with it. My favorite thing about this rice cooker is that I can set it up in the morning (it has a delay timer) and then come home in the evening to a hot meal. Another point i feel needs mentioning you don't even need to measure, this sounds a little crazy. This machine weighs your dry rice and then adds the perfect amount of water and time. I saved the best part for last, only one pot to clean, and this machine even cleans itself. Just WOW amazing!!

It can cook potatoes!
on May 9, 2024
Posted by: ghsnd
We got this for our anniversary and so far I absolutely love it!
I used to make fun of people using rice cookers, because rice is easy to cook, you just need a pot of boiling water. Until I got one - then I used and abused that poor thing - it's just so much easier and it saves that big pot for the other stuff you might need to cook - like gumbo!
Then I caught wind of this Grain and Rice Cooker from my husband who works in R&D at Whirlpool and we were both intrigued, we bought one when it was finally released. Boy am I glad we did. I have used it for more than cooking rice and grains, I've used the steamer basket to cook eggs (hard or soft boiled), Potatoes (small or cubed) and the rice/grain cooker to make basmati rice, couscous and lentils. I'm using the fast soak option right now for a bag of great northern beans. I know it's silly but being able to just plop some eggs in the basket and then leave it for 11 minutes is awesome and now I get why people used to have counter top egg cookers.
It is a little pricey, but you know, being able to just dump your stuff in and have it weigh it and then dispense the right amount of water is amazing to be honest, and to cook potatoes without having them get waterlogged or need to watch them is great too - just dice them up and put them in the steamer basket or use small potatoes and put them in whole. I used fingerling potatoes and left them whole it took 10 minutes and they were perfect, I smashed them flat and put them in the oven for 'smashed potatoes'. The manual has the recommended steam times for everything from broccoli to whitefish - which I haven't tried yet, but suspect I will soon enough.
The only issue I had was with the lentils, and I think they were kind of old since they just disintegrated. I'm going to reserve my judgment on how it cooks lentils after I try a fresh bag of brown lentils (these were old green ones). So far I have not had to tweak any settings, but I might have to do it for lentils at least if I want them to hold their shape.
