Couple things: Put your rice in first. Measure it using the little plastic cup that came with the rice cooker. It's not exactly one cup (usually it's actually 6-7 ounces), but engineers that exhaustively tested the machine when they built it included that cup for a reason. Rinse your rice. Even though rice you get from a grocery store in the States might not need cleaned for dirt, it still ends up with loose starch on it. You're gonna get better quality rice if you rinse that off. Either use the first knuckle of your finger or the lines in the rice cooker to measure your water. Remember that little plastic cup we talked about earlier? The lines on the inside of the cooker are calibrated to the amount of rice you put in with that little plastic cup. So if you make 2 cups of rice, fill with water up to the 2 AFTER the rice goes in. If you're going to use technology to cook your rice, use the freakin' technology.
Good Info. Yes I have noticed that measuring cups are inconsistent. I have a 1 cup vase that when filled to one cup line and poured into 2 cup vase does not come close to 1 cup marker
@@johns6795 Generally as long as you use the same measuring cup (or cups from the same set) for most cooking/baking ventures, you'll be fine; but you do bring up a good point. And when it comes to a piece of equipment that comes with a cup, it's always best to use the cup that came with it. Another trick with a rice cooker, in case you lose the cup that came with it eventually, is one I learned about from various UA-cam sources. Level out the rice after you've measured it out using the cup and the lines the first time. Put your index finger in, and figure out how far the water goes before you touch the rice. For some people, it's up to the first knuckle. For me, it's up to the top of my fingernail. Either way, just remember that spot. After you know that, you can measure the water level up to that point on your finger if you lose the cup, and you should end up with the right amount of water for the amount of rice you have in the cooker. Just check in about 4-5 spots (middle and the 4 "corners") to make sure the depth is consistent.
So you put the same exact amount of water as the cups you put of rice? Also any tips on making the rice more flavorful? Should i add the salt and garlic to the water and mix it before?
@@cutiepie83912 The numbers on the inside of the rice cooker bowl are the lines you fill the water to based on how many of those manufacturer-provided cups full of rice you add. Put in 2 cups? Fill to the 2. As for flavor, I generally add anything I want to flavor the rice with right when it finishes cooking. Usually some butter and cilantro does the trick for me. Nigella seeds are pretty good as an additive as well.
Manual says: 1 cup of rice use 1 1/3 cups of water 2 cups of rice use 2 1/3 cups of water 3 cups of rice use 3 1/3 cups of water 4 cups of rice use 4 1/3 cups of water Basically, for every cup of rice use the same amount of water plus 1/3. The rice needs to be rinsed off from excess starch for a perfect fluffy rice.
LOL! I was going to mention that you did not rinse the starch off on the rice, then you mentioned that you were going for a run during cooking. So kudos to you! Thanks for your time and effort.
I usually watch videos about hard core automotive repair or electrical stuff, rough and tough stuff.I'm Gen X so this video was helpful and also painful to watch at the same time. Without making a dad joke rice pun, this was one of the fluffiest video's I've seen ( Shaking my head left to right). Good job man..
my guy: - this did not tell me how long to actually cook the rice for - the chewing noises in an echo-y kitchen were unnecessary - but the “steamed vegetable” tip was new information, thank you
I'm so glad you said it will take about 40 minutes because the instructions that I found online said 10 minutes. After 20 minutes of not having the rice finished, I would have tossed the entire thing out into the trash!
Always. Although the first has been removed from your bagged rice, there is still excess starch which needs to be washed off. After washing the rice, draining it, and then placing the washed rice into the inner pot, there will still be some excess water despite draining the washed rice. THAT'S why the rice goes into the pot first, then fill up with water to the desired line marker that's printed on the inside of the pot.
Roughly how long does the running light last? I bought a used one from Amazon, and it's either heating up or there's a reason the last person returned it.
I noticed that there are different times for different amounts of rice, but I do not know how to change the time on my rice cooker. There is nothing in the directions about this, and the + and - buttons don't work once it's turned on, and white rice is chosen. Can anybody help?
Anyone know how to fix E3 error? Used thing maybe 20 times before POS broke. Says overheating error, but it just randomly did it when I tried turning it on.
I'm curious to ask how long these machines will last for? I'm hoping to get good gas mileage out of it. And could you in theory also cook normal stuff like full meals, or meats in these? Thanks.
Actually 40 minutes is the correct time normally needed to cook 2 cups of white rice. That said, tge actual correct measurement is 2 cups rice to 2.5 cups water. Adding about 1/3 TS of olive oil and about 3 to 5 pintches of salt. I will be cjecking the needed kwh s using the Aroma 8 qt multi rice cooker. I suspect its maybe .075 kwh s .Thats about 4 cents or so worth of electricity.
I use this cooker all the time. Forget what this guy says. Use the measuring cup that comes with it, I typically use one full cup of rice, give or take a little, it's pretty forgiving, it doesn't have to be perfect, then add the right amount of water, for me, about 2 of the measure cup fulls, again it doesn't have to be perfect as long as you are close, then just set it and forget it. This is specifically for white rice. Sometimes I will put a few pot stickers and/or egg rolls to steam in the steamer basket. Try putting a little coconut oil in before cooking, probably around a 1/4 teaspoon worth, again I don't measure, whatever you think is good, you just have to experiment and adjust to your own taste. Add some garlic and ginger to the rice as well, pretty tasty. All kinds of things you can do with this thing. Get crazy and make up your own concoctions. You could even steam hot dogs in the basket if you wanted. It's only limited by your own imagination. P.S. He is right about rinsing the rice though, I generally rinse it 3 times, but hey that's just me. My guess is that not rinsing would make it more sticky, don't know for sure as I've never not rinsed the rice.
A lot of commercials regarding low-carb rice cookers but they never tried their glucose test after eating the low-carb rice. Maybe I'll be convinced if they test it and don't shoot up their sugar. That way you will see how the low-carb rice cooker works on your body. Anybody?
It took me three minutes to get through his talking. And 27 seconds to scoop rice. get water. Press the cook button. I’ll be back when it’s done and let you know how it turned out.
My rice never turns wright..How many cups of water for one cup of rice? I always thought two times the water so for one cup of rice then you use two cups of water?
Rule of thumb I mean rule of forefinger knuckle line: tip of finger should touch top of rice n water should be at forefinger knuckle line Fastest way to measure, I know, been doing it for over 40plus years and I’m not a professional 😊
I don’t know if mine is defect because it boils out my water and steams hard sometimes it does the circular thing but sometimes it comes on 10 minute countdown so I’m nervous about leaving it anyone else have this problem
After washing the dry rice and then placing it into the inner pot, there will be some excess water despite draining the washed rice. THAT'S why the rice goes into the pot first, and then you fill up to the desired line marker (printed on the inside of the pot).

Why are saying to put in 2 and 2/3 cups of water to 2 cups of rice when the instruction manual says 2 and 1/3 cups of rice to 4 cups of water. Where is the mix up? Who is correct you or the manual? I know that when you cook it on stove top it is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water… 2 cups of rice to 4 cups of water and so on… where is the confusion here?
You misread page 11. The manual says to fill up to line 2, if you are going to cook 2 cups of washed rice. That line is technically 2 1/3 cups of water -- and this combo will yield 4 cups of cooked rice
I want to know how to clean the lid. you can not take it apart so it's going to get disgusting inside there very quickly. even just to clean the seal it seems you would have to take the entire unit and carefully wash the lid without getting water into the base. bad design! good rice cookers the lid can easily be removed and taken apart for cleaning.
This rice cooker is perfect! I use it only for me ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxviiltW7NlHbp_VL_bLbIkbLAvILVhnia and sometimes me and my friend so the small size is really great for counter space since we never need to make all that much. I have been using it now for about 2 months and it still works perfectly. I use it for both rice and vegetables (better for harder vegetables like green beans and carrots, it made my broccoli way too smoosh-y for my taste). It keeps your rice on keep warm automatically which I really like, and I’ve used a few of the settings, flash rice, white rice, brown rice, and steam, and they all work super well for me, although I don’t like smooshy rice so I’ll usually use flash rice. It’s super easy to clean either in dishwasher or hand wash, and it’s pretty easy to get rice out of the grooves by where the container comes out. I assume this one will last me a long time but if I ever need another I will definitely be getting this one again!
Before cooking your rice, you can try washing it to remove the extra starch! ua-cam.com/video/6_utzVsJQhw/v-deo.html

Watching this instead of reading the manual because I get impatient lol. Thanks for this😀
That’s exactly how I felt 😅. The manual made me so confused and nervous. I watched this video and now feel way better
You supposed to wash and rinse the rice before cooking, he didn't do that.
Who is here after the first utube video the lady talking too much 😂 (BTW WASH YOUR RICE!)
Literally did the same thing 😂😂😂
Me Lmfaoo
Same here hahaha my dog freaked out with her voice!
Adhd brain can't handle lol
The Algorithm is insane 🥹
Ok, I got one of these for Christmas almost a year ago and haven't used it yet. This quick start video was perfect.

2 cups of rice use 2 1/3 cups of water

Tips: Put the rice in first. Then wash the rice like 4 times until the water is clear.
I’m puzzled over the 2-2/3 cups of water. That confused me. Shouldn’t you use 4 cups of water to 2 cups of rice?
thats what im asking, but in the rice cookers it seem to need less water. idk why
That is WAY too much water. There is a video on America's Test Kitchen channel which explains the science behind the water-to-rice ratio.
I always used 1.5 cups of water to 1 of rice. Well I guess it depends to how you like your rice and what kind of rice it is.
best practice, rise the rice AND add in the rice 1st, then water. thus none will stick to the measuring cup.
He starts explaining the Rice Cooker itself at 2:40
I heard we should rinse it 3 times before we cook it. Or until that white film quilts running off it. And I rinse until water is nearly clear.
All is good but you need to rinse the rice until water isn’t cloudy. Just an FYI.
No you don't
@@pumpkinpie7591 ahhhh yes you should.
@@pumpkinpie7591 rice has a lot of dirt and all kinds of stuff. If you’re ok eating that then more power to you.
@@emrodsky4379you’re both right. You don’t need to but you should lol
It’s just a matter of preference I guess.
Thank you for explaining it great, so if I put 3 cups of rice it will be 3 cup of water. God bless!✨🙏🏾👌🏽

Funny thing i never used it before and i used the exact amount needed was afraid i got it wrong lol

Wash the rice first?
HOw does it not overcook the veggies? At 40 minutes, the veggies would be liquid? LOVE cocanut aminos, pricey for sure, but great taste.
Add the veggies during the last 10 minutes of countdown of cooking
