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!!

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.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
