Frequently Asked Questions About Rice Cookers
How does a rice cooker work?
Aroma rice cookers work by heating water in the inner pot until it boils. The water is absorbed by the rice, and once all the water is absorbed or evaporated, a temperature sensor detects the increased temperature and automatically switches the cooker to Keep Warm mode. This prevents burning and overcooking.
What is a rice measuring cup?
The rice measuring cup included with your Aroma rice cooker is smaller than a standard U.S. cup. It measures approximately 180 milliliters, as per rice industry standards. Always use the provided rice measuring cup for accurate rice-to-water ratios, as indicated in your product manual.
Do I need to rinse rice before cooking?
Yes, rinsing rice before cooking is recommended, especially for long-grain varieties. Rinsing removes excess surface starch, which can prevent the rice from becoming sticky or gummy. Rinse under cool water until the water runs clear.
How much water do I need for white rice?
For white rice, a general guideline is to use 2 rice measuring cups of water for every 1 cup of uncooked white rice. Refer to your Aroma rice cooker manual for specific rice-to-water charts for different types of rice.
Why is my cooked rice too moist or too dry?
If your rice is too moist, stir it with the serving spatula to release excess moisture and let it sit in Keep Warm mode for 10-30 minutes. If it’s too dry, add ½ to 1 cup of water, stir, and run a cook cycle again.
Can I cook grains other than rice in this cooker?
Yes! Aroma rice cookers are versatile and can cook various grains like quinoa, oatmeal, barley, and more. Refer to your manual for recommended water ratios and cooking times for different grains.
