[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker. I was raised with rice. We eat rice at least twice a day: lunch and dinner. Sometimes we eat rice for breakfast too. I have been using so many different rice cookers, but KitchenAid is a different level. I have never had an automatic rice cooker before. The pan is non-stick, it comes with a streamer too. It's so easy to clean. I don't have to worry about measuring water. I just need to choose a set up: rice or grain then choose how I want my rice to be cooked. It's just amazing. Great cooking performance. Imagine I have a kitchen full of KitchenAid. That would be awesome. Love KitchenAid!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rice cooker is INCREDIBLE!! I normally cook rice on the stove, but I have used simple cookers before and they do not compare. This is SO easy to use and cooks rice perfectly! I haven’t tried any other grains yet, but I am very excited to explore all of the options!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this cooker. So easy with many options for different types of rice, etc. The only problem I’ve had is if I don’t level the rice/grain. If not very level, the rice/grain sticking up does not get cooked well, but that’s because I did follow directions well enough. I wish the start later option was easier to figure out. If you could choose a time for the item to get done instead of calculating how many hours later to start it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like the way it makes rice. I tried to cook pre-soaked beans and it kept telling me I had too many beans in the pot; it was about half full, so I didn't like that and ended up cooking them in another pot. I haven't tried the other grains yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the grain and rice cooker for a month and it is awesome! I am using it more then I thought I would for steel cut oats in the morning, farro and beans for salads for lunch and different types of rice for dinner. As a result, I am eating healthier and I am finding it so much easier to add more fiber into my diet! I love this product!❤️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smaller than I originally anticipated but I love that it’s not too bulky. I like that it looks sleek and not an eye sore on the counter. It’s good for different kinds of grains and it lets you choose the presets and level of doneness. It’s supposed to automatically measure the amount of water needed so it takes the guesswork out of it. You just fill the side tank and the machine does the rest. It also comes with a steam dish! It worked well with rice but it did leave it a little mushier than I would like. Not a deal breaker though. I also attempted to add some fish fillets to cook with the rice and those cooked well too. The machine weighs the food and figures out how much water it’ll need and how long it’ll take to cook. There’s a timer which is convenient and a “keep heated” option after your food is done cooking. Mine showed to keep warm for 4 hrs after done cooking. I’m not sure how to change that or if it’s just a default setting. The machine was easy to clean but kind of bothersome. You have to leave the lid open to make sure the moisture doesn’t stay trapped. But even the next day, there was still water trapped on the lid that I had to then go in with a napkin to dry. I imagine this would cause mold if you’re not wiping it down fully after each use. Another thing is that it didn’t come with a spoon to scoop up the rice. Every rice cooker I’ve bought has come with its own spoon since the bowl can be scratched if you use something to harsh. Seems like a cheap thing to not include. Overall, ok. I would recommend this particular item to anyone. I feel like there’s better options out there but maybe for someone who cooks beans or other types of grains, it could prove useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this grain & rice cooker but regret the purchase as its similar to an instant pot/multicooker but more expensive and with fewer features. Specifically, it doesn't have a "keep warm" that is cool enough to make homemade yogurt. For steaming, it works well but the steaming basket is verysmall and its faster to do the amount I need on the stovetop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rice cooker is a great addition to my kithcen. It is big enough to cook rice for a large meal or I can make a smaller serving for myself. I love that the water tank handles that portion so I don't need to think about it. It can cook a variety of things which is nice and it has a steamer insert as well which I love. It's easy to disassemble and the parts can be put in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. And I really enjoy the smart screen feature. Makes the whole thing feel very high tech. It's not too bulky and it's easy to move around and store.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Selected it for rice, hoping to make the sticky type rice I get at Chinese food restaurants, but haven’t even attempted it yet. Instead it is being used daily for steel cut oatmeal. It lets me cook to the thicker consistency that I like. I add bananas, berries and honey for a wonderful breakfast. Then comes clean up time - I thought ugh. But, it is super simple and clean up is a snap. Zero scrubbing involved. The same water tank that cooks the grains and rice is used. You just close back the lid and tell the touch screen to clean. It steam cleans the pan. A quick rinse and it looks spotless. I like to quickly wash with a bit of soap, but it probably doesn’t even need this as it looks very clean after rinsing. I had honestly thought this would be a countertop appliance which I would pull out when I needed it on occasion. Instead it has its own space on my limited countertop as it has become a daily staple for using. I can set it to tell it to cook to be ready (up to 24 hours ) when I wake up and it will cook the oatmeal and keep it warm. I look forward to trying the rice and even beans, but for now am loving the ease of cooking and cleaning for the steel cut oats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it but have been finding the instructions are not accurate. We have had to add more water than the booklet calls for. Last couple of times it has worked well adding more water for fuffy rice, not rice that is hard and unable to fluff.
