Another question about rice cookers and sushi rice. Saw a few people mention the Aroma rice cooker in the context of sushi rice. Specifically the ratio of rice to water is 1:1 (as I suspect most peoples would use for standard long grain rice). But is that the ratio you use for sushi rice...

Was looking into the proper ways to cook basmati rice in an Aroma rice cooker so figured I’d throw this out there since there’s so much conflicting informations out there about the best way to cook it. Rinse the rice well and use a 1:2 ratio of rice to water. Cook on the White Rice program...

How many of you use the oatmeal program on your aroma? I found a write up online for making oatmeal in an aroma rice cooker and thought it was worth discussing since most of my friends only use aroma rice cooker for cooking rice. The method uses 1 cup of oats (or more for more than one person)...

Seeing as a few peoples have mentioned it in the past, I figured I’d open up a thread about cooking rice in the Crockpot Mini. The instructions, if I remember correctly, are to rinse your rice, add 1 cup of rice and 1.5 cups of water to the inner pot, and then set it to low for approximately 3.5...

Slow cooker rice question: A few person have mentioned seeing rice cooked in a slow cooker and finding it come out too wet. The recipe that most people use are a 1:2 ratio of rice to water and cooking on High for around 2.5 hour. This tend to lead to rice that is too wet because the slow cooker...

While flipping through a manual for one of my Aroma cookers I noticed the delay timers goes up to 15 hours out. How many of you uses the delay function for the cook cycles? I assume that when you hit the delay function you can set how long you want the cycle to be delay and then choose your...

Curious how people feels about using the steam function on the Aroma cookers for veggies. Found a method for cooking broccoli using this function so sharing it out here to get people's thought on it. Cut broccoli into smaller pieces, put into steaming tray, add 1 or 2 cup of water to inner pot...

A few peoples has asked about this in the past. When you have a Samsung microwave and the clock read nothing, it isnt the board, not the display. It's just Eco Mode. Turn that off and the clock will come back on. Makes sense, right? Saves powers when the microwave isnt being used. But why would...

Had this come up in a couple different forum for Samsung microwaves. It's either the latch hooks or the switches behind them. The latch hook spring tend to wear out with time. The other possibility is the door switch tell the microwave that the door is closed. I'm guessing that the latch hook...

When I saw the question about replacing interior lights on Samsung microwaves I figured I'd bring it up since people comes across it so often. The work involved is less than the panel or magnetron job I see on here. Basically it involves removing the microwave’s power plug (those caps can bite!)...

Saw this in another thread and figured it was worth a discussion as to why people often forgets they have a child lock on their Samsung microwaves until they accidental lock it. Press and hold the Child Lock button for ~3 seconds. An L will show on the display indicating all buttons is disabled...

Was helping someone else out with there Samsung microwave the other day and the clock setting come up. Looked it up to see how to do it and it was simply cycling through the Clock button and arrow. Press Clock, use arrows to select hour, press Clock for minute, press Clock again to save. Thats...

Seen in a few different threads regarding various appliances, so figured I'd ask the question here of the community regarding whether or not the Samsung microwoves actualy even have a reset procedure. From what I understand about them, there is no reset button on the appliance. Instead, to...

Saw someone ask about a delay brew function on there FlexBrew the other days so I thought I'd toss this out here since it tends to trip people up a little more than it should. The processes for initiating a delayed brew cycle are actualy very short and simple, there's just alot of wording in the...

Seen this a few times with the coffee maker. FlexBrew does not have a dedicated reset button on the machine. People tend to asks about this since there is no button for it. To work around this, you have to unplug the machine and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minute prior to plugging it back in. If...

Curious if anyone here have gone inside an Hamilton Beach FlexBrew units. I'm reading up about how to teardown them and it seem fairly straightforward. Unplug the device and remove the three screw on the bottom of it to gain access to the top portion of the device. The catch on the top portion...

A few folks has been asking me about FlexBrew units that just go dark. No lights. No response on the panel. Nothing. These dont have fuse inside them, so no easy fuse to replace. From what I see, there are three general cause. The first is a software glitch. The fix is to unplug the unit for 5...

See some posts on the FlexBrew units that won’t push water through anymore, hence the topic of discussion about this issue. There are 5 usual suspect for these models before people give up on the machine. The first is that the reservoir is low on water. After that it could be a clogged water...

Found a tidbit on the internet about the Cuisinart ice cream makers. Thought it was worthy of discussion here since I've yet to see it discussed much. To remove the bottom cover on these machines, you can remove three of the four screw with a regular screwdriver. One screw, however, requires a...

Found this writeup on troubleshooting why Cuisinart ice cream makers will not power on. There are only a few thing to check once you have the appliance open. The power switch, motor/drive gear, fuse on the board. Not a huge list of issues but helpful nevertheless. The fuse within the plug for...
