The KitchenAid Rice Cooker Is on Sale at Amazon

Water evaporates faster at high altitudes, which makes cooking rice and other grains tricky. Since my parents live 8,000 feet above sea level in Colorado, my mom has tested countless rice cookers over the years in search of one that could take the guesswork out of making grains. After testing out the KitchenAid grain and rice cooker, I can safely say I found it. I just gave one to my mom as a Hanukkah gift, and it has already become a permanent fixture on her kitchen countertop. Ready to make your life easier? Snag yours at Amazon while it’s still on sale for the new year.

KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker

While it is high-tech, this KitchenAid rice cooker is surprisingly easy to use. It comes with an intuitive touchscreen panel with 21 presets. While I use mine most for simple batches of jasmine rice, it can make everything from oatmeal to beans. In fact, it’s so versatile, I find myself reaching for it almost every time I cook. I’m even considering giving it a permanent spot on my kitchen countertop.

I love that this machine can customize my batches with helpful settings for pre-rinsing grains, soaking beans, adjusting the grain texture, and more. If you prefer to cook your rice in broth, stock, or another liquid, there’s a setting for that. There’s also a delayed cook option, so you can add your ingredients to the pot ahead of time and schedule it to cook up to 24 hours in advance.

The appliance has an integrated water tank and a built-in scale, so all I have to do is pour in my desired amount of grain, and the rice cooker does the rest of the work for me. It weighs my grains or beans, dispenses just the right amount of water, and cooks deliciously fluffy batches at the touch of a button. The nonstick ceramic bowl and removable water tank are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup is a breeze.

One Amazon shopper called this rice cooker “the best thing since sliced bread,” and I happen to agree. It’s impressively versatile, great for multitasking, and ideal for making easy one-pot meals. My mom loves that it comes with a steamer basket, so she can cook broccoli and other ingredients at the same time as she makes her grains.

If you’re tired of mushy rice or just want an easier way to cook beans and grains, this KitchenAid rice cooker is a no-brainer. My mom and I both think it’s an essential for any home cook, and it’s still discounted at Amazon’s New Year sale. Save $50 when you grab yours today.
