Thank you so much! Ok so I'll go ahead and try the microfiber towels, pretty sure they won't scratch it or anything. Idk how long you've had your cooker for, but have you had to buy a replacement bowl? Sorry for all the questions, I just really want to make an informed purchase.

And alright you truly have sold me on thoroughly washing my rice! I will getting a $10 rice washer as you suggested :D I thought people were just being overly anal xd

Believe me I thought it was ridiculous to even wash rice and never did it. I would just scoop it out of the bag with my measuring cup, chucked it in my Aroma, added water to the desired line, and pressed cook! And to be honest what came out was “rice”. But it was by no means excellent rice. The difference—because after all, we are talking about rice….just simple, old, dependable rice, goes like this: For about 15 years I drove a 1990 Honda accord DX. This car was like my unwashed Aroma Rice. 240,000 miles, Dependable, took me across the country twice, did what it’s was asked to do, not too fast, not too slow, nothing special, radio stopped working, a/c went out, rear door handle came off, and it was definitely unwashed and filthy. But yet, it was still a car, and it still got me around. And I drove it in that condition for years. Then after that decade or so I was able to buy a brand spankin new 2014 Honda Civic SI with zero miles. Everything worked perfect! The A/C pumped out cold air, the doors all opened and shut, the sound system was great, and the car performed like a dream! It was beautiful, to me. I would go out for drives…just to drive! And it was jet black, so I washed it…a lot.

I learned to appreciate.

But in the end, it fundamentally did what my Accord had done for years. I took me from point A to B. But the difference was the enjoyment while underway.

That is the difference in properly washed rice.

I’ve had the cooker for about a year. No scratches. I only hand wash it, and only use the paddle that comes with it.

Haha that's funny bc your old car situation is my current one XD it's like you're me from the future lol

I don't even have a dish washer so it'll only be getting handwashes from me! I'll try to take care of it like you have.

Yep, I hand washed my dishes for about 20 years. Lol. Had drying racks and everything. Now, it’s funny…even though I have a dishwasher, the good stuff never goes in it.
