Aroma ARC-838TC 8-Cup Digital Cool-Touch Rice Cooker and Food Steamer
Take the guesswork out of making restaurant-quality rice at home with this easy-to-use appliance. The 8-cup rice cooker prepares 4 to 16 cups of perfectly cooked rice at a time–great when gathering the family or a group of friends for dinner. Simply add dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on with a press of the button. Once the rice has cooked, the appliance automatically switches over to “keep warm” mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking for up to 12 hours. More than just a rice cooker, the appliance can also be used to heat soups and stews or steam meat and vegetables while simultaneously cooking rice for convenient one-pot meals. The unit’s lid locks in heat, moisture, and flavor, and its nonstick removable inner pot ensures effortless food release and quick cleanup. Even more, the programmable unit offers a user-friendly control panel with a digital LED display that makes it easy to set the 15-hour delay timer. Other highlights include a steam vent, a condensation collector, “cook” and “warm” indicator lights, a cool-touch exterior, and an easy-open hinged lid with a carrying handle for convenient transport. A measuring cup, steam tray, and rice paddle come included. The rice cooker measures approximately 12 by 12 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Feedback
This is the fourth rice cooker I have owned and it is by far and away the best. The rice cooks right every time. The manual does give a guide of how much water to add for different types of rice but I have found that even when I screw up and do not use the right amount of water the rice has turned out pretty good.
I enjoy the fact that the device has a sealed top which really seems to help the rice be more consistent and also makes me feel better having this unit used with three small children in the house running around. The rice receptacle inside is a delightful non-stick surface that is more then easy to clean. The steam feature for other items works wonderful as well. I have left rice in the device for over two hours after cooking and it is still moist, tasty and not burnt. The one touch button cooking is a breeze and for me it takes about 30 minutes or so in most instances for the quantity I cook.
The only thing I learned I had to do is not place the device under anything when cooking.
