Cool. It will start burning the bottom after a bit of wear and tear once the very thin coating starts to go. I always spray the bottom with olive oil before I put the rice in and it is pretty much perfect each time when that is done and the non stick coating will last much longer as well. With the water to rice proportion this depends on the rice and personal preference .. varies wildly! Cheers.
So far so good for me! In some dishes it actually requires you to create a crusty bottom but often if I'm doing those I use a clay pot to cook my rice in. This has been good so far and comes off clean everytime for me. Maybe it's my water to rice ratio?
I did try that. Didn't really do much. It does stop some bubbles but you'd have to put quite a bit and that will make the rice oily (you can certainly put chicken fat for that yummy chicken fat rice flavour) but other then that, I find less then 10 cups helps. It can do 10 cups, just poorly.
For this rice (short grain), 1 1/2 cups to 1 rice (but varies depending on which stove top/how hot). When you cook it, cook with lid off on high, then look for the water to be absorbed. When you see little divots in the rice, turn to low heat and close the lid and cook for 10mins (for 3 cups). Then flame off and let sit and steam for 10 more mins (if u want it nice and fluffy) For long grain, 2 to 1.
Great video. I bought the cooker a few days ago. I have the experience that the rice come out like a pizza bodem. The instructions says 1 cup rice on 1 cup water and leave it when it is done for 10 minutes. The rice comes out all stuck together like chuncks. I probably do something wrong and I hope you can give me some tips to make it better. I made the first portion with 4 cups of rice which went better than trying it with 1 cup of rice. Thanks in advance
Which rice are you using? Different rice do require different amounts of water. Try cooking with short grain rice and use 1:1 ratios. However, it's 1:1 according to the bowl's measurements. One cup of rice and pour water to fill up the line of the bowl to where it says 1. Good luck!

Thanks for the review. Good to see how big the rice cooker itself is too.
Hey Greg - saw your review on kogan site and came to check out your vid. I'm buying it thanks to your demo, cheers bro!
Hope you enjoy it!
Its a rebranded Aroma. Totally worth it.
what would happen if you put a bit of oil in the electric rice cooker also? Maybe the boil over wouldn't be so bad?

@@MeettheTings Thank you for your answer, appreciated.
What is the rice to water ratio please?

Use your finger. It's fail safe.
