The KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker features innovation that takes care of the measuring and monitoring for you, with 21 presets for grains, rice and beans. With an integrated scale and water tank that work together, the cooker automatically senses the amount of grains, rice or beans you've added and then it dispenses the right amount of water to match the ideal water-to-grain ratio for what you are cooking.

I use this rice cooker 4-5 times a week. This is review a after using this rice cooker for over a year.Things I like:-Fillable water container doesn't leak when I take it off the rice cooker.-After I got the settings down, rice made is perfectly (white medium grain "sushi" rice).-The steaming basket is big enough for a majority of steaming needs.-I like that it gives me a notification when the rice is complete, and the amount of options to steam other things (I steam vegetables constantly).-The rice cooker's weight system is good, took me a minute to figure it out.Things I don't like:-Whenever I open the lid after cooking is finished a bunch of water fills into the outer edging of where the metal pot sits. It is annoying to clean constantly, and frustrating because there is no way to prevent this.-The plugin that connects to the back of the rice cooker is a straight style plugin, rather than an angled plugin; you can't push the rice cooker flush against the wall.Concerns:-I only hand wash the metal pot; after a year of consistent use the inside black finish has started to flake off in tiny, tiny pieces. I am concerned I will need a new pot in a year or so. I use your every day sponge, it may be my fault for using the more abrasive siding at times (albeit rare).Good rice cooker.

This grain and rice cooker has been an absolute game-changer in my kitchen! Cooks perfectly every time - fluffy, evenly cooked and never sticky. I appreciate how easy it is to use. It is reliable and versatile. I couldn't be happier with it.

I absolutely love this rice cooker. I made sure to use it multiple times and try out different things before writing this review.Pros: Super easy to clean. It has a self clean mechanism, but what I love is that all the parts that need cleaning, pop right out and are easy to wash.Cooking. I have loved everything that i've tried in it. Everything from soaking and cooking dried beans, one pot fried rice, just plain rice and even oatmeal. The recipes have all turned out excellent and i love that I can choose how well cooked I want the oats or rice.Layout. I love all of the options offered, from texture, to alternative liquids, to delay start. I love that I can soak my beans and cook them immediately after with ease. It weighs everything within the pot, so I don't even have to dirty my measuring cups if I don't want to.Cons: Overwhelming options. This one is a pro and a con. I love that there are so many choices, but it can definitely get a bit overwhelming. Overall i think the pro of options outweighs the con, but that's just my personal opinion.Ease of use at first. I definitely found it confusing the first time i used alternative liquid instead of the water dispenser. In my case, I used coconut milk and the rice didn't end up cooking. I tried it again with half milk, half water (which I had to add to the pot) and it worked fine. So i think it just takes some trial and error for that.Price. For a good rice cooker, it ends up being worth the price, but I think a lot of the cost is because of the touch screen and to me, it definitely doesn't need to be so expensive. I'm still glad i purchased it though.Overall: This rice cooker is amazing for so many purposes. In a disabled household especially, I love that i can throw the food in, set a delay and not worry until I'm hungry and ready for food. I love the versatile cooking options and ease of cleaning.

There was an issue with the rice cooker at first and the company is quick to solve the matter. I have not seen a rice cooker that cooks rice to perfection! Will definitely recommend this

I've just used it a few times and just for rice. It's the best thing since sliced bread! I'm very happy I bought this machine. It's pricey yes, but the ease of use and convenience can't be beat. Over the years I've had simple/cheap rice cookers that worked but did not give consistent results. So far this KitchenAid beats all of them by far.I've been making long grain Basmati rice because I love the taste and aroma. Start with a good brand of rice! The old saying is true, you get what you pay for. Using good quality ingredients will result in good results. I rinsed the rice a few times in a bowl to remove the excess starch. Put the rinsed/wet rice in the cooking pot, close the lid and follow the on screen prompts to start the cooker. It couldn't be easier. I then walk away to do other things until I hear the sound that the rice was done. It's been perfect every time just using the regular setting. I'm in my mid 60s and I've become a rather lazy cook. Having perfect rice is wonderful without watching a pot. Really is a "set it and forget it" kind of thing.After my first time using the rice cooker I put some rice in a bowl and added a little butter and S&P. It was excellent. I could eat rice like that every day. Next time I used it as a base for a slow cooker chicken curry and I felt like a chef, LOL. The keep warm feature works very well too. I'm not someone who wants the keep warm feature to work for 10-12 hours. I read one review that thinks that's a deal breaker but I'll say I think the average person wouldn't need a 10 hour keep warm feature. This rice cooker/steamer is a game changer for me. Perfect rice without measuring anything and clean up is a breeze. The interior pot is non-stick and I hand wash it quickly and easily. After using I dump out the leftover water from the tank as a personal preference but you could certainly leave the water there for next use. Overall this was worth the price for me and the machine will be on my countertop to use often. Very happy with this purchase.

Easy to use, although it says the black plastic scratches very easily it is very awkward to clean use once and it will never look as good as when it comes out of the box.It would be good if it came with a cleaning tool to get into the nooks and crannies.

Love, love, LOVE! Perfect rice every time, even if I don’t rinse it! The delayed start timer and post-cooking warmer are fantastic features that ensure rice, grains, and beans are hot and ready just when I need them. I eat a whole food, plant based diet and make a large batch of grains or beans every day—this takes so much work (measuring exactly, watching the cooking timer, scrubbing the pot and/or stovetop afterward) off my plate. Super happy I splurged!
