How to Use an Aroma Rice Cooker
Rice is known around the world as a nutritious food. When rice is cooked correctly, it can be delicious, but rice can be undercooked or overcooked. Aroma rice cookers solve that problem by cooking all kinds of rice and automatically shutting off when the rice is ready. They are available in several sizes, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

- Aroma measuring cup or regular measuring cup
- Rice

1
Rinse one cup of rice lightly in a strainer for a minute or two. Do not overrinse to avoid losing too many nutrients from the rice.
-
2
Pour 1 cup of rice into inner pot of the Aroma rice cooker using the measuring cup that comes with the Aroma rice cooker. If it did not come with one, use a regular measuring cup but adjust the amount of rice to 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup.
-
3
Add water to the rice according to package directions. Some Aroma rice cookers have fill-level marks on the inside of the pot as a guide for food and water fill points. Add any chopped vegetables or spices desired.
-
4
Place the inner pot filled with the water and rice back into the rice cooker. Cover with the lid and turn the cooker on.
-
5
Leave the rice to cook. The Aroma rice cooker will stop when the rice is finished and switch to a warming mode. A light will come on to alert you that the cooker has switched to warming mode. Some models have a pop-up timer that indicates when the rice is finished.
-
6
Wait 10 minutes and remove the lid. Stir the rice and serve.

Tips & Warnings
Some models of Aroma rice cookers have an automatic rinse cycle. If the rice cooker you're using has this, skip the manual rinsing step.
Some Aroma rice cookers have separate settings for brown or white rice.
Do not add more rice or water than is recommended by the Aroma rice cooker directions.
Do not look into the pot while removing the lid; escaping steam may cause a burn.

To add to what shakakah said, I did not find this article helpful at all. I am at my daughter's house, babysitting my grandkids, and would like to use her rice cooker to make some rice for dinner. She is out of town and the instructions for her Aroma 6-cup rice cooker are nowhere to be found. I thought I hit pay dirt when I Goolgled "how to cook rice in aroma rice cooker" and found this article. I was wrong. I have no idea exactly what vessel I am supposed to put the water in (the outer container, the silver strainer thingie that was sitting BESIDE the rice cooker (but I'm not sure if it actually goes to the rice cooker), or the "inner pot" (teflon coated)? I'm afraid I'll ruin the cooker (and possibly get electrocuted) if I put the water into the wrong container. I learned nothing from this article. As shakakah said, if the person already has the instructions, this article is... -

If I had either the rice package instructions or the appropriate rice cooker manual in front of me, I wouldn't be searching online for you to tell me to look at them. The question here is: what do the markings on the inside of the cooker mean? And how do they relate to the little specialized plastic measuring "cup"? This article could be more thorough. You list one Manual in the Resources, which is helpful, but are all the models the same when it comes to measuring the rice vs. water? One would hope so. It's meant to be simple, right? Still, I'm not sure, and it would be nice if this article gave such useful information. I'm looking here, rather than the Official Aroma Website, because I need to cook some rice right away, not because I'm interested in doing a bunch of research. Here's what I learned from the manual for the 10 cup model (listed above in the Resources): the ...
