Review on 🍚 Aroma Housewares ARC 1033E Commercial Rice Cooker - Quick Cooking by Frank Chinchilla

Excellent base plate, no extra cost for nonstick tray / digital features. For those who say they burn their rice, learn how to cook rice in a rice cooker! Add the required amount of water! At least 15 cups of uncooked rice for this unit, don't use less or you'll go overboard with cooked/burnt rice. Here's a little tip from me, who's been cooking rice since I was 8 years old (that's almost 40 years of cooking rice almost every night, that's almost 12,000 cooking rice times!): Rinse the rice 3-4 times before using until the water is pretty clear. Soak the rice for 15 minutes to make the grains softer, each rice field harvest is different, so some do not need to be soaked at different times, you need to soak, you need to see for yourself. Cook rice in a slow cooker. Once the rice cooker is "ready," LEAVE it in the cooker for 15 minutes to harden. Do not touch the lid, leave for 15 minutes. Then, using the spatula provided, gently toss the rice and "fold” the rice (the goal is to move slowly so as not to break the rice grains too much) from the outer edges to the center and then from the center/bottom. high. You then cover it again and let it warm for another 15 minutes before it's ready to serve. I've cooked Chinese long grain, Japanese short grain, California culrose using this method with no problems, and spanned a dozen rice cookers. Oh yes, taught by many Chinese and Japanese sushi chefs, the rule of thumb I follow is never use the rice cooker at full power or you will end up with unmanaged rice (90% of max capacity). So on a 60 cup cooker I will never use more than 55 cups. I've cooked for myself and cooked rice for hundreds of community volunteers, so I know what I'm talking about.
