Why should I care?
This kitchen appliance is ideal for anyone who struggles with getting rice and grains cooked perfectly on the stove. While I’m partial to Zojirushi’s line of rice cookers, they don’t offer nearly as many cooking presets as KitchenAid’s gadget.
This grain cooker simplifies the cooking process with automated measurements and cooking presets, which will ensure consistent and delicious results every time. It’s beneficial for those who enjoy a variety of grains and beans, as it can handle everything from quinoa and couscous to pinto beans and steel-cut oats, the latter two of which can be tricky to dial in for just the right texture.
Its compact size makes it a convenient countertop appliance, while its multiple functions, including steaming and delayed start, add to its versatility.
How much does it cost?
The KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker retails for $299.99 (Amazon).
