This review is from: Aroma ARC-848SB 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker & Food SteamerThis rice cooker has revolutionized the way I cook. I adore it! A must-have appliance for busy folk who want to save money and by eating at home more often. It is so simple and the variety of recipes for which one can use it is staggering-- it cooks far more than just rice! Two enthusiastic thumbs up....This review is from: Aroma ARC-848SB 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker & Food SteamerI like this rice cooker, but I'm giving it a 1 because it browns white rice from the center of the pot and outward. I assume the pot has a bad thermostat. The rice was still edible and would've been fine for me...a single guy, but I have to consider guests. Amazingly increasing the water by 25% didn't prevent browning.The other negatives are that the lid is not removable, and the delay timer can only be set in one hour increments (1 hour, 2 hour, 8 hour, etc). Because the lid is not removable it will never be as clean as I'd like. Also I know a little about programming. It seems like it would've been easy to program the timer to accept minute increments.I'm returning it and asking for a replacement.Writing a review? Support your opinion with fact. It helps.UPDATE: My new rice cooker arrived. I've used it about 15 times. I'm having the same problem. However I don't think the rice is browning but instead it's a film that collects on the bottom that browns. I assume the film is starch. This happens even after I rinse the uncooked rice for 5 minutes plus. This has happened with two different brands and types of rice, both jasmine and white. I've even tried spraying the pot with a non-stick cooking spray.Also now I find myself forgetting to clean the lid. I'd like to return this rice cooker, but I won't....This review is from: Aroma ARC-848SB 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker & Food SteamerFirst time I tried it, the bottom part of the white rice browned. It has not happened after that. Rice has come out well for my preference - not too grainy and fluffy enough. I usually do not follow specific instructions on how much water to use to make the rice I like. It is tried and tested over time with different cookers. With this cooker, I have steamed chicken pieces while the rice was being cooked. Very convenient to have a simple meal ready at the same time....
