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

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.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
