Rice Cookers

My rice cooker just died and I need to replace it but I want a better one than I had. I started with a Rival rice cooker and steamer and I loved it. My family grew and I needed something bigger. I bought an Aroma rice cooker last Christmas and I have not been happy with it. There was always a crust of hard rice at the bottom-especially when I would use broth instead of water. The manual said that if this crust formed you could rinse the rice before cooking but it would remove some of the nutrients. My Rival had a plastic bowl and the rice never stuck or got crusty. The Aroma has an aluminum bowl and I am wondering if this is a contributing factor also. Anyway-I need a new rice cooker that has a large capacity (I have 5 hungry kids and a husband) and will not stick and will allow me to use broth instead of water. Please share your suggestions or experiences with rice cookers. Thank you! Nikkie

I have an aroma too. I'll be curious what others chime in with.

It aroma aluminum covered with non stick?

My aroma has a non stick covering over the aluminum-do you have a problem with crusty rice too?

Yep. Always on the bottom. I don't think it's so bad if I rinse the rice first. I think I used broth once and it was worse so I just add some broth for flavor and to make the rice a little moister afterwards. I typically make a lot and have leftovers. Broth works good when warming it up in the oven.

I don't know what brand mine is...but I don't rinse the rice because it washes away the bran. That's where all the nutrients are. Mine does have a nonstick surface though, so I'm sure that helps.

Mine is a small one, so if you are in need of a bigger/better one, whatever I have isn't going to help ya much. GOod luck!!

I think I need to get to an eye doctor!

Sorry I can't be more helpful with your rice cooker, not rice cookies search!

Good Luck!

Get a Zojirushi, you deserve the best. Seriously, mine will keep rice fresh all day, nary a crust to be found.

I am so relieved to know that others have the same problem with crusty rice! I have a huge rice cooker but I have the same problem.

We have a Sanyo rice cooker with an aluminum pot (no non-stick coating.) I've had this rice steamer for more than 10 years, and have never had a crust develop on the bottom of the pot. I always rinse the rice well before cooking in it (removes excess starch, and any non-rice particles.) I've never heard of rinsing removing that many nutrients...if you're really concerned about nutrient content choose brown rice rather than white, because the process of refining removes many of the nutrients.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
