[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.] I bought this a month ago after moving into my new house. I wanted a new rice cooker. I did some research and decided on the Kitcchen Aid grain & rice cooker. I like it will automatically adjust the amount of water I need depending on the amount of rice I put in. The water compartment is clear sturdy plastic so I can see when the water is getting low. It doesn't just cook rice. I like various multi grains Arthur’s Flours. Now I don't need to use the double boiler so the don't get burn. I get distracted & forget I have something on the stove. Usually why, I have to do one task at a time. With the Kitchen Aid grain and rice cooker I don't have to worry about the rice and grains getting burnt. I can soaked my beans or rice up to 2 hours. The rice is nice and fluffy and stays warm for 6 hours. You have to clean the rice and beans before puttingin in the rice cooker. It is not a rice or bean cleaner. I like the 21 presets for the grain and rice. I can program it 24 hr ahead for delicious cereal or my different rices I like to eat. It has a small insert to steam vegetable. I tried some broccoli and cauliflower, it worked well. I am happy I bought it.

Absolutely the best counter top appliance since the coffee pot and mixer. I use it at least twice a week. I would use it more if my family was still at home. Brown Rice cooks perfectly! Now trying it with Quiona. I have cooked Oatmeal, wild rice, and I can use the steamer function. I love it! Now if they would make a pasta cooker, live would be perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a slight learning curve but in the end it does what its supposed to! My only thing is i have a large family and we go through a lot of rice lol. I think this would be great with a larger ability. But this size is great for smaller households or even really great for elderly people.

I have had this for a while and finally opened up the box. Why did I wait so long? Lack of counter space. But oh this is now my favorite appliance. So far I've just used the steamer, and made corn on the cob, broccoli, and a bunch of hard boiled eggs. This thing is MAGIC.

I decided that I wanted to eat more grains and beans, so I decided to try it. I know I could do all this on the stove, but I like gadgets that work. It made perfect quinoa and short grain brown rice. For best results pay close attention to the startup menu when starting a cycle, your selections matter. I look forward to trying beans and other grains. The low end capacity works for me. I can see them making a large capacity model in the future…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow its a magical machine! I always cook quinoa and had i known this machine makes perfect quinoa I’d have gotten one before. My previous quinoa was sad before and now its happy and fluffy! And so easy, just put the quinoa on the machine, water, press the buttons and let it do its thing! i didn’t have to time, worry, check what was happening (i have been distracted before and burnt it).this machine was amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this rice and grain cooker! There’s a setting for everything! Dry, rinsed, soaked. Every grain and bean you could want. To test it out, I made the Power Quinoa Muffins from their suggested recipe book. (Not particularly relevant to the actual product, but if you use the recipe they provide, I would decrease the amount of quinoa added to maybe 3/4 cup, even for quinoa muffins, it was a bit much.) BUT, the machine cooked the quinoa perfectly, and I could focus on prepping the other ingredients, without worrying about stirring it or anything burning/drying out. I also cooked dry, unsoaked kidney beans right out of the bag in this machine. (It took about 2 hours, and they came out great and I didn’t have to watch it at all.) It’s really cool to watch the machine weigh the grain and calculate how much water to add. It’s quiet while cooking and easy to clean. Cons: it’s a little larger than your average rice cooker, so it takes up a good amount of space on your countertop. But I just leave it in a cupboard and take it out when I need it. Overall, this is a very cool and versatile product!

In theory, this should be a fantastic device. Unfortunately there is no way to manually select any of the useful cook settings. Cook times are only in 5 minute increments and cannot be adjusted. If it undercooks the rice, there are no options to extend the cook time. You cannot adjust the water dispensed or dispense more. After months of trying to get it to do even one batch of rice correctly, we have given up. I contacted support and they are not able to issue a refund or even credit or exchange so I am stuck with a product that is useless. Maybe I can donate to someone that will have better luck than us. Best to get this at a store where you can return it quickly and easily once you realize it doesn't work properly.

I echo the great reviews left by so many. i have had mine 2 months and i look forward to using it almost every day. it is fun to use. I’m making far healthier meals with a mix of grains and vegetables, and a cinch to clean one pot. Everything has turned out perfectly including black beans going from dried beans to cooked in 1.5 hrs. The warming feature is nice to keep food warm for a period after cooking. Not one complaint!!!
