Aroma ARC 830 Rice Cooker Instructions
Rice cookers are countertop appliances that take the guesswork out of cooking rice. Some models, such as the Aroma ARC-830TC, have a warming feature. When the rice is finished cooking, the warmer automatically turns on, keeping the rice warm until you are ready to serve it. The texture improves if you allow the rice to set for about ten minutes after it finishes cooking, and the cooker switches to the warming mode. The rice cooker comes with a small measuring cup, smaller than a standard 8-ounce cup. Each one of these cups makes 2 cups of cooked rice. Does this Spark an idea?
