Aroma Rice Cooker/Steamer - Review and Giveaway - US only ends September 2, 2012
Aroma has been around for quite a while now. They offer everything from Rice Cookers, Steamers, Deep Fryers, Ice Cream Makers to Pressure Cookers and much more. They make quality products at affordable prices.
I love rice and always tend to find myself cooking a dish that somehow involves that wonderful grain; whether it be rice inside the dish or as a side dish. When I was given the chance to review an Aroma Rice Cooker, I couldn't have been more happy. I love the taste and quality of restaurant rice and was looking forward to producing the same results from home.
I have a family of 5 and felt the 2-8 cup Rice Cooker would be the perfect size. The Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer comes with a steamer tray, measuring cup, and a serving spatula. The steamer tray is good for steaming vegetables or meats while the rice cooks in the non-stick pot at the bottom. The spatula is great for stirring and serving. There are many features of the rice cooker that I love and are beneficial to achieving the perfect meal each and every time. If you work outside of the home, you can set the timer, in one hour increments up to 15 hours, to be ready by the time you get home. Once the cooking is done, the rice cooker automatically sets to warm until you're ready to eat. With one push of a button, you are guaranteed to have the perfect rice ready in a matter of minutes. The amount of rice you intend to cook will make a difference in the amount of time it takes to cook. The 6 buttons you see below are the Delay Timer - good to use if you're going to be gone for a few hours; to the right of that is the power button; below that is the Brown Rice button; to the left of that is the White Rice button; below that is the Steam button and to the right of that is the Keep Warm button. Each light up accordingly.
There is a removable piece in the back; this is where the condensation is released.
An instructional booklet comes with the Aroma Rice Cooker; there you will find everything you need to know in order to operate your rice cooker. You will also find some recipes; I'm a huge fan of Jambalaya so I decided to try out their version. I included everything except the shrimp, not a huge fan, and I added some diced tomatoes...yum! Here is the finished result:
The Aroma Rice Cooker isn't just for rice, veggies, and meat; it's also great to use for soups and stews. I can't wait to make more dishes using my new rice cooker. I'm very impressed with the quality, which is something to be expected from Aroma. The clean-up was so easy since the pot is non-stick; that's what I'm talking about!

I love using steamers for everything! I use brown rice most of the time, so it takes a bit longer to steam, but it's well-worth it. I'm guessing this would work for quinoa, right? I've been using that in place of rice a lot lately. I love that it's a non-stick lining - definitely makes for easy cleanup! Believe it or not, I've not heard of Aroma so I'm going to go to their website and check out all their products!
I have wanted one of these for a long time. I recently got married and I forgot to add this to our registry.
Thank you so much for the giveaway!! =)

Ive always wanted a steamer, it would save me so much money. I usually buy the frozen brown rice from Costco that you microwave for three minutes. It would be nice to have a steamer to make larger batches at a time...
A steamer is a very healthy way to cook vegetables. I have been wanting to get a steamer. Thanks for the chance!
abfantom at yahoo dot com
I have heard how versatile these steamers can be. I
think they can be great motivation to cook more at home.
Thanks for the chance.
Love making rice & steaming veggies - would love to win this....looks awesome!!! grammypenny@frontier.com
I would love to win this rice cooker. My kids love rice and they are always wanting me to order white rice from the chinese place because it's always perfect. I would really like it to experiment and try other things to cook in it. Thanks
I would like to win this because of the easy clean up. I love rice, but it always comes out really sticky, and I think that I could use this to make better rice.
I have never used a rice cooker so would love to try this

I love rice and the Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer sounds like something I would use frequently.
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
I have always wanted to have a rice cooker.
I have always wanted a rice cooker. This sounds like it would be a great addition to my kitchen!
I eat cream of rice or grits for breakfast and seemingly rice every night. From Risotto to Jasmine to Brown Rice, I've made rice in pots, pans, and slow cookers, but never made any of it in a Rice Cooker. Wonder what I am missing but you know how it is, money is also so tight. Even if I don't win, it's one of those maybe one day things, I intend to try one day.
My current rice cooker is very old and I would love to replace it with this Aroma rice cooker since we eat rice in our household almost everyday!
alittlepieceofheaven777(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have never used a rice cooker before and in fact have only begin to use non instant rice recently. This is a great giveaway!
I had a rice cooker when I lived in Japan (of course they were everywhere there), but haven't seen any stateside. I'd love to have one again, it was so convenient!
I've always wanted a rice cooker. I like to cook stir fried rice with tons of veggies, rice based casseroles, and make a home made rice pudding for Hubz' lunches. So easy to carry and reheat for lunch, but something of a pain making the rice. A rice cooker would be a wonderful thing to have.

HORTON111@AOL.COM
THIS WOULD MAKE A NICE PRESENT FOR ME..I SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY...OTHER THAN THE FACT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS
I'd love to win. I don't really have any great pots with lids, so I don't cook rice that often that isn't the gross instant kind.
I would love to win this! I don't have a rice steamer now, and I know it would come in handy.
chrissylea1979 (at)gmail(dot) com
I would be interested in trying this
i dont own anything fancy in the kitchen so this would be awesome to have!
I would make great vegetarian meals with this steamer, and I Like that many of the nutrients would remain in the veggies.

I've been trying to find a good rice steamer. The expensive one I bought shoots a gooey steam when cooking.
We all have a rice cooker here in Hawaii but this would make kalua pig easier to make without having to dig a hole in our back yard.
I have been wanting a rice cooker for some time. My rice is always undercooked, overcooked or so stuck together that is just lumps of rice. I have a friend that has a rice cooker and it cooks beautifully. (I am very envious of her rice). I hope I win this.
I'd love a good rice cooker. I bought one at Big Lots once, and I forget the brand name, but it only worked twice before it broke!
Do you think it would work for brown rice? That's my favorite. I'd love to have one for other things too like veggies!
Thank you so much for the giveaway! I have always wanted a rice cooker
Yep, works for brown rice too!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I could really use a new rice cooker as we eat rice at least 2 times per week! :)

I am glad to see such a wonderful rice cooker My brother has one and they use it for so much more than just cooking rice. Thanks for a totally awesome giveaway.
My rice steamer is antiquated and in really bad shape. I'd love to win this updated rice steamer!
I would love to win this cause i can cook rice the right way.. my friend had something similar to this and cooking rice in it came out just awesome...
A rice cooker/steamer should be a must in everyone's home-It is so convenient and anyone can learn to use one. Being a full time mom,working full time and running all the time-it is worth having one-you put your rice in it and do what you have to do and come back have your dinner is done. Thanks for sharing this giveaway.
This looks like a very helpfull item for the Kitchen. We make our own tamales and they have to be steamed to cook. This would be perfect.
I did not know you could do other things besides make rice. What a great idea to make soup in this. I am going to google some recipes for soup. I would use this all winter. thanks
Oh wow, I didn't know you could use rice cookers to cook other things.. this would definitely come in handy. I don't have a slow cooker so this would be nice to use for some similar recipes.
good job the sponsor should love your review you've convinced me i need one
mverno@roadrunner.com
I never thought about making a stew in a rice cooker although I have mixed flavorings and veggies in with my rice so it's infused. I guess my brain doesn't work this way so I love the new ideas
These are wonderful. Great way for healthy cooking
Wow what a great rice cooker. I love that it can make soups too. dwelchert@yahoo.com
Need a steamer as we're rice fanatics...here's a recipe I heard for ey Spanish rice 2 cups white rice 4 cups of chicken broth, some stewed or diced tomatoes without the juice and salt pepper and garlic powder and cook in rice steamer

I'm in Georgia and rice is an essential here. I actually have my late grandmother's aluminum pot just for rice. My daughter keeps trying to steal it -- so I'd love to win this Rice Steamer for her!

Well, I just got a lesson! I had no idea you could cook anything but plain white rice in a rice cooker. I have never owned one but now I want one! I love that it comes with some recipes for ignorant people like me lol.
Its a great appliances can use it for steaming veggies as well
i didn't realize that you could cook more than just rice in one of these, the dinner you were making looks so good
I don't own a rice cooker and have always wanted one. This looks really easy to use, I'm already thinking of ideas of what to put in it.
I like the timer aspect. It would be nice to use it for oatmeal. I am usually really hungry and too impatient to wait for it to cook and just eat cereal. It would also be nice to not have to try and time rice finishing with stir frys.
I can't make rice for the life of me! So, that leaves me to use a quick rice of some description...not near as healthy. Not sure what I do wrong...would a rice cooker save me?? Not sure. lol
This would save me so much time and effort. I rarely cook rice because I don't like cooking it, but with this, it would be so easy.
I need a new rice cooker! Mine is a tiny 3 cup capacity, and now the rice is sticking :(
I love that you can set it to cook at different rates! I would leave it cooking so I can come home to a nice meal =]
I think this could make the whole grain rice I make turn out so much better than in a stove top pan
i need a rice cooker! ive been wanting one!
I'd love to have a rice cooker! I always seem to not cook the rice right, it would make my life much simpler! thanks for the chnace!!
In am in need of a rice cooker since the one I had, that I used in the microwave, has missing pieces to it and I would love to win this one and if not I am definetly going to look into this one so I can purchase it, thanks for the review
I love that its a rice cooker and a steamer (&stews)-I don't own a microwave, I try to eat fresh & healthy and i live alone so using the electricity of the stove/oven for one is such a waste to me. I've wanted even just a rice cooker for a while, this one is great, the timer & delay settings would be so helpful. great review & photos-Thank you!
My family and I love rice! This would be perfect for us!!
I had a rice cooker but this is so much better. I love that it is multi-use.
Thank you for the giveaway. I love when products have multiple functions, really helps cut down on clutter. Hope I win :) Good luck to everyone else as well.
I have a small rice cooker, and I like it, but I would love a larger one like this so I could make other kinds of meals in it, like soups and steamed vegetable dishes. I love that this one is programmable and has different settings for different kinds of rice/food.
I love rice. I could eat it every day.
this is fantastic, great help when it comes to feeding a large family you could always use more help. i love that this has multiple uses. great review, and giveaway

I am horrible when it comes to making rice, I always end up under cooking it so its still hard. This would be great for me!
I would make rice much more often if I had this. Much healthier than pasta!
I love eating rice since I'm Vietnamese, but I'm leaving for college so I can't bring my family's rice cooker because they all eat rice too. This would be great to take to college with me so that I won't have to go through rice withdrawals!
I can't imagine how much time this would save and how fun it would be to use!
having one of these seems like making rice easier i really want one of these
I have never owned a rice cooker. I like that this one can be used to cook other foods also.
I have always wanted one of these!
I have never owned a rice cooker or steamer. I really would love to try this and enjoy more foods.

This is an awesome giveaway. I own a teeny little rice cooker but I want one like this so that I can feed more than myself ;) sbcashortie at hotmail dot com
You can cook such healthy meals in rice cookers. I would love to have one.
I've never used a steamer to cook. It's something that I have wanted to try, but have been too intimidated.
I am sure this would make it so much easier and better to cook rice. My family is huge on rice.
If I had this unit, I would be able to serve rice at dinner more often. I seem to overcook rice most of the time

I have always wanted to handle a rice cooker!
edgenemmers@gmail.com
This would be great for quick dinners. Hubby is at school and work so the rice cooker would be awesome to have!
I love that it's non-stick so you can make stews and soups.
I love to eat rice sadly my rice is always or to soft or kinda crunchier not good I would love to win because one of my favorite food is the chicken valencian rice and it would make so easy to cook it perfectly
I always thought rice cookers only cooked rice. My family only likes the long grain rice but I hesitated getting a rice cooker for only one dish. Thanks for the info!
thanks for promoting healthy meals, rice is one of my favorite fods
I used to have a rice cooker a few years ago and loved it, would love to have one again, thanks for the chance
Hotsnotty2@hotmail.com
My husband is not from this country and rice is a staple in our house, i have been trying to convince him that a rice cooker is the way to go but he refuses to listen, i would love to win this and be able to show him how great it is!
I love that it works with brown rice because my family loves brown rice.
BBrittBrat1398@yahoo.com
Very informative. I only thought you could cook rice and I did not know about the timer and the warm feature. Steaming other items like vegetables and meat is more then a bonus featur.
i would love to try these
I would feel really lucky to win this because I am trying to incorporate more veggies in my diet. I can be happy with vegetables and rice for dinner, so this is the perfect giveaway for me. I'm sure it would be much better than than the way I'm preparing it now.
We have been thinking about getting a cooker like this for some time. We are eating more rice as it is easier on budget.

I've never used a rice steamer before, but I've started to really like brown rice. My husband cooks rice in the microwave every week. I know that he would love this.

This would be great to have so that it wouldn't take so much time for me to cook rice and my daughter can use on campus
These would be great to have. I hope I win
That jambalaya looks yummy. I have cooking something similar on the stove top, but my family named it new Orleans mix, lol

My daughter "borrowed" my rice steamer awhile back and keeps forgetting to return it. I need a new one!

I actually already have a rice cooker, at least that's what they call it. It doesn't do a very good job though. I just made some rice this pas week and it was horribly overcooked, I had to throw it out it was so bad. I'll give it another chance or two, but it might be going away soon if it doesn't shape up!
I love that you can make soups in it- that's one of our fave fall meals. :) We had a lousy steamer/rice cooker that didn't do the job at all and I haven't messed with one since, but I know many people swear by them.
I have always used minute rice in the past. I would be interested in using this product to see how easy it would be to incorporate more healthy brown rice and long grain rices into my meals.
I didn't realize all this equipment could do...soups in a steamer awesome!
I didn't know that you could leave a rice cooker cooking so long!
We'd cook more rice if it were easier so this would be really helpful
I use rice in alot of my recipes... this would be a great addition to my kitchen...
ltlbit1@hotmail dot com
id love to win this i have been eating alot of rice on my new diet and trying new recipes..there are so many great dishes you can make with rice :)
I have never used a steamer before but I am trying to eat better and I think this would help.
Rice is one of my favorite things to eat. I have never used a rice cooker but have always wanted one.
I gave my rice cooker to my daughter and I love making rice for my cajun recipes but boiling rice just don't cut it.

I don't currently have a rice cooker, but I want one because we use rice often in our cooking.

I was going to ask for this for Christmas! Not sure why it has taken me this long to get one... They are so pratical. :)
I have great things about steamers and this one sounds good
would love to win!
I need a steamer. I want to steam more of my vegetables to make them healthier for you. Plus, my Japanese lady friend taught me how to make sushi, and I should have a rice steamer for that. So, I would make really good use of this.
I think rice cookers are amazing. They can be used in so many different ways and I love getting creative with mine. I had a combo rice cooker and steamer and it actually broke so this would be awesome to win :)
I would love this because we are buying a new house and starting fresh so we need to buy everything and as a family of 6 this would come in really handy. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway :)

I love rice and have always intended to get a rice cooker but never have. This one looks awesome! I didn't know you could cook other things in it, and the fact that you can leave it cooking all day like a crockpot is great!

I've been on a rice kick this year, and think the steamer would be much easier...with more consistent results than I get:)
