Aroma Housewares Select Stainless Rice Cooker Warmer with Uncoated Inner Pot 3-Cup uncooked 6-Cup cooked 1 2Qt ARC-753SGB

Received and immediately put it to use cooking some white basmati rice. Very good liitle cooker, just like the same sized one in aluminum bought 11 years ago and still going. Aroma is a very good brand and I thought about Panasonic, Elite and even Zojirushi. But or the price this offered the most. Steel coated insert so, I put a teasp of oil before in water and rice. The pot has some heft to it which i like; feels more solid. The rice can stick at the bottom but nothing difficult to clean. Advice is to wash rice thoroughly so it doesn't sputter and spit, and use some oil Before the rice and water. 2:1 should be the ratio as 2 cups o water to one cup o rice. It turned out fluffy. Also best not to use any scouring pads or sharp objects. i don't want to try and see i it is all steel through as i just bought it and i don't want the trouble o returning it, One thing though, it goes to warm when finished cooking and better to unplug so more rice sticking at the bottom doesn't happen. My older one automatically shuts off as the keep warm faction doesn't work anymore. . What happens down the lane is yet to be seen. But I love it now, and I do miss rice if i don't eat eat it for a month and I am off aluminum, plastics etc. Cheap enough and I am careful enough not to worry about it at this point. Will update if it stops working in a short time, or something. Otherwise its a good simple gadget to have as the older one is kept by my ex. Read more

The product came with a dent in the pot. It looks like it was made from the inside out, and I can’t imagine an explanation as to how that would have occurred. The package came as the original product box with a shipping label attached. The product’s box seemed well-protected. The glass lid is in fine shape. I’m happy with the rice cooker. It is smaller than I expected, but it’s totally a perfect size for me (and up to 1 or 2 more people!!) and I love how it doesn’t take up so much room. The rice server fits in the handle slot nicely, so I don’t need to set it down on the table. The rice serving paddle is not very heat resistant. The literature says not to use it when making soups. That surprised me… The cord seems very short to me, but it’s workable. I don’t have a countertop to sit it on, so I used a power strip to reach to the top of a stack of boxes. At 300W, it doesn’t need very much power to work and cook. I’m interested in buying a steamer basket attachment. That looks awesome for steaming veggies! I think it’s a great machine and worth the money, especially since there’s all stainless steel!!! I love that there isn’t any plastic in contact with the cooking food. The fact that it’s stainless steel is the ONLY reason I bought this. I didn’t buy from anyone else because I wanted stainless steel. I hate Teflon and other unnatural garbage leeching into my food. The rice I cooked is perfect, and I think it is pretty healthy! Great job, Aroma! I love that Stainless Steel! Read more

As expected. The item is simple and gets the job done. The stainless steel bowl is nice, no plastics in your food and you can remove it from the cooker and eat out of it. Most complaints I read on here about these types of cookers, I found, come from fools who did not bother reading the instructions before use and/or have never cooked rice before. You CANNOT mess this up. It's a hot plate that comes with a bowl and lid. That's it. (Well, and other accessories, but you get the idea.) I cannot fathom any issues coming from anything other than human error when the appliance is so simple. 1) If your rice boils over and spills water while cooking it's because you didn't rinse it properly to remove the starches. That's basic rice cooking 101, and is included in the instructions. Spillage (when the stainless steel bowl is anti-spill due to the way its shaped) is nobody's fault but yours, for either overloading the cooker or not rinsing your rice well enough. 2) It comes with a plastic measurement cup. This measuring cup, when full, equals 1 industrial rice cup, which comes out to 3/4 of a US cup. This is explicitly stated in the instructions. Overload the cooker with regular US cups and you will have a bad time. I don't feel like looking at the listing again, but a valid complaint about the rice cup COULD be that the including the cooker's capacity in the listing without clarifying what kind of measurement system they're using to make that claim COULD be considered to be deceptive by some. I had a fine experience with it. It's easier than turning on the stove and waiting around to turn the temperature up and down and make sure nothing spills. I leave this thing alone for 30 min and come back to cooked rice. I add frozen veggies with no issue at all. Since it's just a hot plate and a stainless steel bowl you could heat/cook soup in it too. It's light, so I could see it being good for the elderly. TIPS: 1) Use it near in open window, or turn the fan on the first time you use it. This is not a complaint, since this happens to nearly every new appliance that heats up, but there is a bit of a chemical smell during first use. It's no problem since no plastic components directly touch the food, it's just the outer casing/body heating up for the first time. Giving it a good wipedown with a damp (not wet) rag before first use, as the instructions suggest, might help. 2) Remove the bowl before cleaning or applying downward pressure to it unless you want to damage the inner hot plate. Make sure the bowl is completely dry and clean on the underside before putting it in place and turning on the appliance, for the same reason. 3) The bowl can easily be cleaned by either eating your rice while it's still hot and rubbing/rinsing the leftover starches and rice at the bottom before it all has a chance to dry, or letting the bowl soak overnight and getting at it in the morning. I personally scoop all my cooked rice into a bowl the moment it's finished cooking, (careful, hot!) extract the bowl from the appliance, and rub the inside down with a soapy, wet, balled up paper towel to loosen everything up before the leftovers have a chance to dry and stick. Easy. 4) Cooking rice produces steam. Duh. Turn the lid so that the vent hole is facing the window or your stove hood fan so that your cabinets don't get humid. 5) Don't plug it in until you're ready to start cooking your rice because the appliance automatically starts warming when it's on. It'll change cook times, which may be catastrophic for the inexperienced. Unless your intent is to preheat. All in all: 👍 Yeah. It's useful. Would be better if they clarified what measurement system they were using when they made the listing. It's a small and simple rice cooker with a plastic outer body that warrants no more than a $25 price tag an an updated listing that is not misleading about their product's capacity. Read more
