I love rice. I enjoy it for breakfast, with sugar and cream and a few raisins for flavor. I enjoy it steamed at dinner, as the bed for steamed carrots and crunchy snowpeas. But I do not like rice that is overcooked and sticky. If it tastes mushy, I simply can’t eat it. And nothing is more aggravating than having a mouthful of rice that is undercooked, with crunchy little bits getting stuck in your teeth. But with an Aroma rice cooker, having perfect rice every time is the easy part.
Before I bought my Aroma Cool Touch rice cooker, I took the time to shop around a little, and read the reviews. They do well against the competition, and are often compared to more expensive brands, such as the Zojirushi rice cooker. Amazingly, it is lower priced, but performs just as well as it competitor, and is preferred by many people who have used both.
The Aroma ARC-998 is an 8 cup rice maker that excels. Not only is it super easy to use, and able to prepare a variety of dishes such as soups, stews and steamed vegetables, but the Aroma rice cooker manual even has recipes for a wide variety of dishes that you may not have thought were possible. Don’t confuse an Aroma Rice Cooker with ordinary kitchen appliances that can perform only a single task, because these machines make cooking all types of meals easier and less complicated.
Another item that is often praised in rice cooker reviews, and one that is equal to the Zojirushi rice cookers, is the removable cooking pot, all the more easier to clean because of its non-stick surface. On the outside an Aroma ARC-998 is covered with stylish brushed stainless steel and black trim, giving accent to your kitchen without being imposing. And an Aroma rice cooker pulls ahead of the pack with its patented cook system, which channels excess moisture away from rice, keeping it as light and fluffy as if it were just cooked for hours.
I can’t tell you that this is the best rice cooker you could buy. But I can say that it has proven its value to my family, time after time. It has brought more variety to our meals along with better taste and healthier eating. These are priced right, too, intended to be a perfect fit in any kitchen, regardless of your budget. Try one out for yourself, and you’ll immediately understand what makes an Aroma ARC-998 rice cooker one of the most popular machines of its type available.
