(More customer reviews)My son gave us a 20 cup Aroma Rice Cooker for Christmas and absolutely raved about it. That size is fine for him because he has a wife and four kids with healthy appetites. However, after using the 20 cup Aroma rice cooker a couple of times and having oodles of beautifully cooked brown rice left over, (we are a 2 person household), I realised that my frustration was not due to the rice cooker, which works great, but the sheer SIZE of the blankety blank thing.
So I went shopping and found this little Rival 6 cup rice cooker. Since there are only two in our household, 3 cups of anything is the perfect size for us. (I tend to follow my first husband's dictum on capacity. i.e. if you want 3 cups, buy a 6 cup cooker, if you want 6 cups buy a 12 cup cooker and so on.)
Anyway, it also happens that my present spouse adores home-cooked steel cut oatmeal, but it's an absolute pain to make on the stove. While cruising around the Net I found a recipe from another user for this size rice cooker and decided to give it a try. The oatmeal recipe for one person, (I'm not an oatmeal fan myself), is as follows: 1/4 cup steel cut oatmeal (we started with McCann's but are presently using Quaker's), 1 and 1/4 cups liquid, (can be part milk, apple juice or whatever), a splash of syrup, a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, a few raisins and a teaspoon of butter. Once all the ingredients are in, I give it a stir with the paddle, set it on "Cook" and, 15 minutes later, have perfect oatmeal! (My spouse likes to leave it on the "Warm" setting for another 10 minutes or so and has been absolutely raving about it.)
I've made brown rice using the same measurements in this little cooker and it's been absolutely primo. However, attempting to prepare more than 3 cups at a time in this particular cooker would, in my personal opinion, be pushing it.
For my purposes, I'm giving this rice cooker five stars and am thinking of giving it as a Christmas gift to family and friends.
