KitchenAidGrain and Rice Cooker 8 Cup with Automatically Sensing Integrated Scale + Water Tank, KGC3155BM

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.

Five-Star Review:We absolutely love our KitchenAid rice cooker! The automatic weighing and water-adding feature is a game-changer—no more guessing or measuring. Just pour in the rice, and it does the rest with perfect precision. We’ve also used it to cook pinto beans, and they came out tender and flavorful with zero hassle. This countertop appliance has quickly become one of our kitchen favorites. It’s sleek, easy to use, and incredibly reliable. Whether you’re cooking rice, beans, or experimenting with other grains, it delivers perfect results every time. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to simplify and elevate their cooking routine!

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.

I recently purchased the KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker, and it has been a game-changer in my kitchen. The smart technology, including the built-in scale and water dispenser, takes all the guesswork out of cooking rice, grains, and even beans. The 8-cup capacity is perfect for both small and large meals, and the multiple presets make it incredibly versatile. I also appreciate the sleek design, which fits nicely on my countertop. Overall, it’s a reliable and innovative appliance that I highly recommend for anyone looking to simplify their cooking process.

This product is what I didn't know I needed. It cooks almost any rice without needing to measure or cook it. Simply put in the type of rice and then let it distribute the water as needed by weight. The cleaning is simple with a removable basin and cooking pot. It works perfectly every time, and I have never had an issue. It keeps the food warm and has a delay timer. There is no flavor change in the rice or anything from using the water reserves. The water tank holds a large amount, and I only need to refill it every 4-5 uses. It's not cheap but the quality and variety of this product are amazing. If your gonna go crazy for kitchen appliances, then this is a wonderful addition.
