Aroma ARC-730G 20-Cup (Cooked) Rice Cooker & Food Steamer



great rice maker
This is my first rice maker and I love it! Much better than making it on the stove in a pot. The first rice I made in this was a brown rice, wild rice mix. It turned out perfectly. I even forgot to rinse it first, and I did not soak it like the directions required. The machine did not boil over. I just used an extra 1/4 cup water for each cup of rice I added. I also added in a small amount of butter. No sticking, no burning - just perfect rice. I also like that the removable pot is aluminum and not coated with toxic non-stick materials. The clean up was easy. For the price, compared to higher end models, I would recommend this rice maker/steamer to anyone.

Splatter City
I had a Hitachi rice cooker for 15 years, workhorse for brown rice and Congee. When it broke down last month, I ordered this Aroma.

It cooks faster, but is borderline unusable because every time the rice or Congee starts boiling, the steam splatters around the edges of the glass lid, even when only cooking several cups of rice. By the time it is ready, the appliances surrounding it are coated with a fine layer of rice splatter.

I have checked the manual and don't see how I am doing anything wrong - it is a basic model without options.

Unless they accidentally sent me a lid meant for a smaller Aroma,this is unusable.

Bad
I had water all over the kitchen cabinet, counter top and on floor it was terrible. I've never seen nothing like this.
