Innovative cooker that could use a few improvements
on February 25, 2024
Posted by: victoriaa199
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let’s start with the good! I’ve never owned a rice cooker, so please take that into consideration. I’ve owned this now for a little over a month and I’ve become accustomed to all its little quirks and features. The fact that this machine weighs out your food, distributes the amount of water you need, and even pre-cleans itself…is just SO convenient and innovative. It tells you the exact amount of time everything will take to cook. It has a steaming basket that you can cook veggies in (at the same time as your grains too). There are many, many options that cover most popular grains, beans, rice etc. You can also cook with different liquids, but I haven’t tried this yet. I use it most often to make rice, oatmeal, and quinoa. It cooked my regular rolled oats and steel cut oats almost perfectly. The rice, not quite how I’d like. So now let’s get into its quirks/downsides. It’s bulky. Like take up an entire area of your counter bulky. You can’t have under a certain amount of food in it. So if you’re trying to make single-serve portions of something, this isn’t the gadget for you. Secondly, I haven’t quite figured out how to get it to cook basmati rice without it being on the dry side. Hopefully there’s some firmware update for that. The machine also says that if you put your food in first you can level out the scale by lifting it for three seconds. This doesn’t work. It glitches out and won’t weigh your food at that point. So just wait for it to tell you when to put in the food. Lastly, there aren’t really any instructions for how to steam things. It’s kind of like a guessing game 😅 All in all, I still really like this and I envision myself using it for a while! My biggest complaint is how much counter space it takes up lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kitchen is green and rice cooked is a high-end appliance for your kitchen! It is the appliance you didn’t know you needed. In addition are having a sleek look that looks decent on your kitchen counter. It is well-made and easy to operate. this machine is designed to cook, grains, rice beans, and a variety of each. The possibilities are endless. It comes with a really cool recipe, booklet and easy to follow instructions. I am very impressed!!! in addition to all the other cool features-like measuring the exact amount of water you need for the grains or beans you selected, it also lets you know the estimated total time it allows you to know when it’s done and the options to keep it warm

Perfect rice every time!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how this can cook beans and rice!! I hate cooking beans so this is a life saver. This cooks perfect rice every time. ONLY vices I have are 1) you have to re-scale it..so it’s an extra step vs a traditional rice cooker and 2) the quick cooking is still 35 mins. Aside for those minor inconveniences, I love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am shocked by how awesome this rice cooker is. This is never something I thought that I’d need but I received this complimentary in exchange for an honest review, and I don’t think i’ll ever go back to the old way of cooking rice. BUY IT!! Worth every penny

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive this product! I have never used a rice cooker since I usually cook stove top. This is timesaving and less worry. It can cook both grains and rice. I didnt even want to open it!

Worked well
on February 18, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smaller than I originally anticipated but I love that it’s not too bulky. I like that it looks sleek and not an eye sore on the counter. It’s good for different kinds of grains and it lets you choose the presets and level of doneness. It’s supposed to automatically measure the amount of water needed so it takes the guesswork out of it. You just fill the side tank and the machine does the rest. It also comes with a steam dish!
It worked well with rice but it did leave it a little mushier than I would like. Not a deal breaker though. I also attempted to add some fish fillets to cook with the rice and those cooked well too. The machine weighs the food and figures out how much water it’ll need and how long it’ll take to cook. There’s a timer which is convenient and a “keep heated” option after your food is done cooking. Mine showed to keep warm for 4 hrs after done cooking. I’m not sure how to change that or if it’s just a default setting.
The machine was easy to clean but kind of bothersome. You have to leave the lid open to make sure the moisture doesn’t stay trapped. But even the next day, there was still water trapped on the lid that I had to then go in with a napkin to dry. I imagine this would cause mold if you’re not wiping it down fully after each use.
Another thing is that it didn’t come with a spoon to scoop up the rice. Every rice cooker I’ve bought has come with its own spoon since the bowl can be scratched if you use something to harsh. Seems like a cheap thing to not include.
Overall, ok. I would recommend this particular item to anyone. I feel like there’s better options out there but maybe for someone who cooks beans or other types of grains, it could prove useful.

Seriously useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little nervous when my dinner rested on the two cups of brown rice I put into this machine. But in one hour I had perfectly steamed brown rice! Boiled rice can be so gummy and sticky and a mess to clean up. But this rice cooker created fluffy rice, that didn’t stick, and it was super easy to clean. A little bit big to sit on a counter in a small kitchen but
definitely something I will be using from now on for all my rice and grain needs.

AMAZING RICE EVERY TIME
on February 12, 2024
Posted by: marissac135
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with this rice cooker. I have never seen a rice cooker with a water tank before, so I was unsure of how it would work. I shouldn’t have worried, because the design is not only innovative but incredibly user-friendly. It has delivered perfect rice every time. This is an incredible addition to my kitchen and makes preparing meals with rice so much easier. The instruction booklet that is included with the appliance is super helpful. I don’t eat a lot of grains, but I am certain it would cook them nicely as well based on my great experience with the rice. I have always had great experiences with the KitchenAid brand, and this rice cooker reinforces their reputation for quality kitchen appliances. Incredibly thankful I had the opportunity to try this product.
