[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great to have an appliance that performs so many functions with perfection. I am impressed with all the features available on the Grain and Rice Cooker and the high-quality of the construction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a Christmas gift to myself in order to start eating more grains. I like the step by step process it takes me through, and the resulting products - whether rice, farro, bulgur, etc. My only exception is that, in spite of my rinsing everything before I put it in the cooker, I still have splattering on top as the cooker is working.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like this product and will continue to use it. However, I don’t think it is worth the price. The automatic water dispenser is cool, but I don’t find that to be a time saver or justify the cost. I like the option to pick different levels of doneness and the range of grains you can cook is vast. That said, I don’t see myself using this for anything other than rice and quinoa. This item takes up a lot of counter space compared to my old rice cooker. It can be a little cumbersome to move in and out of a cabinet if you don’t already have a permanent space for it on your counter. I also wish that the scale could do a live measurement. I still have to measure out a cup of rice as opposed to being able to pour directly into the pot. This product would probably benefit someone who isn’t as comfortable in the kitchen and likes a touchscreen interface. As an intermediate home cook, this isn’t saving me any time or mental energy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice rice maker! It seems too much to keep your rice maker on the countertop with a water tank unless you make rice weekly. It also has options to cook beans, lentils and soak food prior to cooking. The weight can be very picky with distribution of food. I also thought it overcooked my rice. 35 minutes for 1/2 cup rice is way too long. I did however like the touch screen and self clean options

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased 3 weeks ago and used it immediately. It's unbelievably easy to use; select your grain or rice, fill the water reservoir, the cooker weighs the amount of food being prepared, select how you want it cooked and press start. The cooker adds the precise amount of water for your choice. After cooking, the menu window lets you know how long it's been warming. Best of all, there's ABSOLUTELY no mess.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the KitchenAid Rice and Grain Cooker, and I’m seriously impressed! The rice comes out soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked every time—no more guessing or babysitting the pot. It’s super easy to use, and I love that I can set it and focus on other things while it does its job. Definitely a game-changer in my kitchen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I been using this cooker for a full week. I made jasmine rice with this and it came out perfect. The texture of the rice was fluffy and it was very easy to use. Clean up was even easier. I think this is a great appliance but I do wish it was not so bulky. I think a sleeker design would be better especially for people with small living space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting one for so long. Love how you can cook so many things with it. I used it last night with minute rice so I don’t know if you can use that kind. It worked but not fully cooked. So I’ll be getting regular rice for next time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my KitchenAid grain and rice cooker. For starters, it's absolutely gorgeous and such a great addition to my counter space. It actually takes up much less room than I was originally thinking. I was a little intimidated when I first unboxed but it honestly couldn't be any easier to use. The beautiful touch screen offers prompts for every step of the way, even showing you what to do, with images. Just fill with water, turn on, select what you're cooking (for example, rice), add food to the pot, select the texture you'd like and choose when to start (now or at a later time). I chose to set it for when my chicken would be ready and it was timed perfectly. As you'll see in my photo, I made the most delicious and perfect fried rice I've ever eaten in my life. So fluffy and each piece was cooked to perfection. The KitchenAid grain and rice cooker is fool proof. It comes with a very well written manual with so many different food options to cook from various rice and grains to all the beans you can possibly think of. So excited to try out all of the recipes in the included recipe book. I love to cook for my family but being such a busy mom, I don't always have the time it takes. This grain and rice cooker will allow me to save so much time. Not only cooking, but also cleaning up. I normally dread cooking rice and oatmeal because of how long it takes me just clean my pots at the end. I'm so happy to report, that is no longer the case. The KitchenAid pot literally cleans itself with the push of a button. I haven't had to descale yet, but maintenance will also be a walk in the park, with just the push of a button. You may have to clean the pot just a tad in the sink or dishwater after using the self clean cycle, but it's nothing in comparison to using just a normal pot on the stove. Obviously, I'm in love with this appliance. Never in a million years will I be cooking rice, beans or oats in any other way. This is a must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t realize you needed a minimum amount for the rice.i was hoping to have a fresh two person serving every day, now I need to use way more than intended and refrigerate then reheat. Not what i planned. I also have the Jasmine rice come out hard, even after sitting for 10 min. after cooking. Trying to find the right custom setting to fix. Wish I wouldn’t have bought.
