Grits work in the aroma rice cooker but use a 1:4 ratio and stir at least twice while cooking. They tend to stick more than oats.
Anyone actually use the oatmeal setting on their Aroma rice cooker?

50 minutes for oatmeal is insane. I could cook and eat oatmeal and do the dishes in that time.
Setting it for 50 minutes and then walking away from the aroma rice cooker is the point of these buttons. You set it before you go to the shower and when it comes out its ready.
Has anyone tried adding ingredients during the cooking cycle? For instance I know that rice usually comes with a lid lock so would oatmeal setting allow for opening the lid during the cooking cycle?

The lid does not lock on aroma rice cookers. You can open the lid whenever you want. I add raisins to the oats at the beginning of the cycle and nuts towards the end.
Got mine at a thrift store for 4 bucks. Works great though I haven’t used the oatmeal button once.

4 bucks for an aroma rice cooker is sending me. Mine was 35 bucks on sale.

If you are going to give it a try tomorrow use the steel cut setting instead of rolled oats. You will get a much better result.

Appreciate your response to my question regarding grits. I will give that a try this weekend. 1:4 ratio sounds right for stone ground grits.
Because they are not the same cycles. Rice is set off when the temp sensor detects the water has boiled off the bottom of the aroma rice cooker pot. Oatmeal is not.
After looking into the manual for my aroma rice cooker the oatmeal setting uses a lower simmer setting than the rice setting. So yes they are different. For the basic aroma rice cookers with the on off switches the cycle is likely just a timer setting.
