“Very, very good rice at home - the best I've made - bbuttttt ooofffff: Okay so before I start, did you know this is a pared down version of another more elaborate model? That one includes a water tank to self-dispense the water for your rice. So if someone tells you "you have bought a silly and absurd rice cooker, ginny" you can tell them "oh, this? it could have been way more over the top"Why is this absurd? A rice cooker doesn't need a built in scale. It doesn't need a…”
“Impressive smart cooker that eliminates the guess work for cooking various rice and grainsImpressive smart cooker that eliminates the guess work for cooking various rice and grains: I absolutely love this grain and rice cooker from KitchenAid.

“An Oryzivorous, Now I am!: This product has been the bees knees. With clear display, the prompts have been easy to follow: amount for rice/grain and liquids makes the perfect amount. The non stick cooking pan has been easy to clean. It been the most used appliance since arrived ❤️❤️Read moreRead less”
“Easy to use. Good results. Might get better performance from an Asian brand.: I’m still in return window as I put this through its paces. So far it has performed well with white, brown, oatmeal and quinoa. I was between this and a famous Japanese brand. I don’t think this unit uses the neuro fuzzy logic that the Japanese brand uses. I’ll decide if this is the right model for me in a week or two.Read moreRead less”

“KitchenAid rice cooker: Excellent product when you’re doing the rice but when it comes to the beans, it could do a little better not that greatRead moreRead less”
“You’ll go from do I need a rice cooker to? How did I ever live without this rice cooker?: Love this. Add rice, pour in water until tells you to stop, set timer. Can add steamer basket with vegetables at 10 to 15 minutes left of cook time. Dinner is so much easier now. Rice cooked perfect every time. Automatically switches to warm mode until turned off…just make sure to turn off. Very easy to clean and nonstick.Read moreRead less”
