How to choose
Rice presets versus slow cooking
A rice slow cooker can mean a rice cooker with a slow-cook mode or a slow cooker used for rice, so check the presets first. The Aroma runs White Rice, Brown Rice, Steam, Flash Rice and Slow Cook presets with a steam tray, while the Crock-Pot, INDY VAC, Chefman and MAGNIFIQUE run slow-cooker settings with a warm function. If rice is the main job, the Aroma is the pick with rice presets in this list.
Capacity and serving size
Capacity in quarts sets how much one batch holds, so match it to the table you serve. The Crock-Pot and Chefman hold 7 quarts, the INDY VAC holds 6 quarts, the Aroma holds 5 quarts and the MAGNIFIQUE holds 4 quarts. The INDY VAC serves 6 or more people and the Chefman serves six or more people, so check the quart figure against the meals you cook.
Controls, timers and cleanup
Controls decide how you set the cook, timers decide when it ends, and cleanup decides the work after. For cleanup, the Crock-Pot, Chefman and MAGNIFIQUE put the pot and lid in the dishwasher, so match the control style to how you cook.
