Select Stainless® Rice Cooker, 3-Cup (Uncooked) / 6-Cup (Cooked), Stainless Steel Inner Pot, Small Rice Cooker, Auto Keep Warm, 1.2 Qt, White, ARC-753SG

This has become my favorite way to cook rice. It cooks up to 3 cups of uncooked rice in about 20 minutes, and as long as you measure the water correctly, the rice comes out fluffy and perfectly cooked every time. The biggest reason I bought it was the stainless steel inner pot is I wanted to avoid non-stick coatings, and this one has been great. The only downside is that a little rice sticks to the bottom after it’s done cooking. That’s expected with stainless steel, so it doesn’t bother me enough to take away from the overall experience. It’s simple to use, switches to Keep Warm automatically, and has been incredibly reliable. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a stainless-steel rice cooker.

I've had my pot for several years now. It's not automatic but it is very versatile. I use it when I travel as well as at home. I boil water for my tea, make oatmeal in it. I've even made grilled cheese sandwiches in it and scrambled eggs. of course I've made rice and cooked vegetables and every morning I make a cup of golden tea, which is a little bit of water, milk, and turmeric. I like it because it boils the milk gently, and according to Ayurveda, the milk needs to be boiled for a few minutes. This is one of the best purchases I've made in the past few years. It ranks right up there with my instant pot, which I couldn't live without, because I am disabled and primarily bedridden so I can't stand up in the kitchen and use the stove. It's also easy to clean. Good quality stainless steel is easy to clean no need to poison ourselves.

I have an old rice cooker/veggie steamer that I received for Christmas many decades ago that still works great. But the inner liner(or pot) is 100% aluminum. And we know that aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer’s. So now that I’ve switched to a Whole-Foods Plant-based diet/lifestyle, I eat tons more whole grain brown rice. The inner liner of the Aroma Housewares rice cooker is stainless steel! Score! And it cooks brown rice perfectly!! It is as simple and easy to use and clean as the old one. Measure the rice with the included cup & wash the rice. Place it in the pot. Fill with broth or water or a mix of both with the same measuring cup. Place the cover on. Plug it in. Push the button down to cook, and 30-40 minutes later you have perfect rice! You simply add extra liquid (1/2 to 3/4 cup) than normal white rice and let it sit on warm after the timer ends to give it more time to cook. You just have to experiment. The first time I cooked whole-grain brown rice per the chart and recommended water, it was just slightly chewy. So per the instructions I just added a 1/2 cup more water and left it sitting on warm. That did the trick to finish cooking till it was just perfect. The second time, I added more water than the first time and let it sit 10 minutes after the timer ended. Perfect rice! I haven’t cooked quinoa or barley yet. But they are in the cooking chart in the book it came with. I can’t wait to try cooking other grains! Update: Now that I’ve used this rice cooker for a couple months, and about 6-8 times, to cook long-grain brown rice, I can say it’s a great cooker. And I saw the other reviews that complain about the cooker spewing water everywhere. That DID happen to me the very first time I used it. But after that, it never happened again even when cooking more than I did that first time. The first time I only used 2 cups of uncooked brown rice, and yes it did spew and starchy gloppy water went everywhere. It boiled over. But the next time I used it, I placed it in my sink anticipating a mess. I cooked 3 cups uncooked the second time, and NO MESS. The next time (3rd time) I placed it on my counter with a triple layer of paper towels underneath it, and again - no mess! So maybe it is some sort of coating that is scrubbed or cooked off, after the first use. Yes I did wash the inner pot when I unpacked it, before first use. So that may be the reason. But I’m here to tell you it hasn’t happened since. I highly recommend this rice / grain cooker. It’s perfect!

This is a great little rice cooker. The 3-cup size is much smaller than you might imagine, but it works perfectly for two people. We only cook 1 cup of uncooked rice at a time, and it makes two nice big portions in a short amount of time, especially white rice. It might be enough rice for three people but not four. The warmer feature is nice, but I wish there was an off button or an auto-shut off feature after a couple hours. You have to unplug it to turn it off. We frequently forget to unplug it right after serving, but thankfully it makes a little "click" noise intermittently while still warming and that helps us remember to unplug it. The stainless steel is great. The rice actually sticks less than our old, worn out "non-stick" rice cooker from Oster. It takes a bit of elbow grease to clean, but it does clean up nicely. There is absolutely no plastic or non-stick coating in contact with the food, which is a huge plus for us. Even the screws to hold the handle on are just metal, presumably steel. The handle on top is plastic, but it doesn't get in hot or come in contact with the food. The steel looks and feels like it's of a good quality. Some of the watery starchy goo bubbles out and onto the lid but it's never gone down the sides, just on the lid. It does let out a good amount of steam, so it's best to have it an open area, not under a cupboard or very close to anything hard to clean. I used to keep my coffeemaker right next to it, and it would get a bit of a film on it from the starchy steam. It's much easier than cooking rice on the stovetop and pretty hard to go wrong. We've cooked American long grain white rice, basmati rice, and brown rice in it. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to quickly and easily make one or two good portions of rice.

If you aren't incredibly picky about your rice, this cooks a consistently good batch every time. The standout is definitely the stainless steel pot; it’s durable and much safer than cheap non-stick coatings that scratch over time. Quick tips: Remove the pot from the cooker as soon as it's done to avoid over-cooking at the bottom. Also because it’s stainless steel, rice will stick a little bit to the bottom. Just let it soak with hot, soapy water for a bit and it cleans up easily. One flaw that seems to be common from other reviews: For me after two years, the switch no longer switched to "cook" mode, only "warm". The lever would mechanically lock down, but the light would stay orange for "Warm" and refused to switch over to the red "Cook" light. If you are even slightly handy, try fixing it yourself! Remove a few screws from the bottom and buy a new KW-16 (16A 125/250VAC) microswitch for $3-6 and it will function as good as new! A shame though that Aroma seems to have used a cheap, unreliable switch in the first place.

Very easy to use, reliable, and cute

Amazing rice cooker! One of the best kitchen gadgets we have. I used to cook rice on the stove (same brand as I now use in the rice cooker), and somehow this rice is so much better and fluffier. Stays hot for a long time! There’s less guess work and more efficiency with this cooker on the shelf helping in the background while I can focus on the rest of the meal. Compact and easy to clean! I throw everything (except the heat element) into the dishwasher. I tried making lentils in this with less success but I think that was just user error. I tend to just unplug after it’s done cooking so it doesn’t over cook or burn at the bottom on the “warm” setting, but that is because I only usually cook a cup or two. Would purchase again!

I have been using this type cooker for several years now and I thought my old one might have been giving me some trouble when I was melting chocolate so I bought a new one that had a slightly heavier interior pot but overall the exact same thing. This cooker does an awesome job and Cook's awesome rice, soups and other great stuff on high or warm. This cooker is durable and I like the fact the stainless is not going to scratch off in your food like the other black covered metal.

Appareil en 110 volts, donc inutilisable en Europe !

Quality is surely pretty good but quantity of cooked rice is limited barely for two persons.

This cooker is advertised in the Dutch Amazon store but does not come with a plug that fits European outlets. It is an American plug.

Tuve un problema con la devolución y me lo solucionaron de la mejor manera. Muy profesionales y amables, repetiria la compra con ellos por la seguridad que nos brinda disponer de vendedores tan fiables. Muchas gracias

I bought this on Nov 2019, writing this review May 2021 I am still using this, and still love it! The machine part has been working perfectly, but that's not a big milestone - BUT! The bowl!! it has stayed perfect, it is still easy to clean, and it still looks good as new - which is surprising. My previous rice cooker had a machine that still worked, but had a ton of scratches noticeable in the bowl and I was worried it would leak metals or coating into my rice, my friends warned me it could be bad, so I looked everywhere for a rice cooker with a bowl that would be healthy, would last and be made of stainless steel. IT WAS SO HARD TO FIND!! And some of the reviews on this one seemed like the bowl would burn and not last?? So I almost didn't give it a chance... but I decided to risk it. And I am glad I did! It's given me no problems. I like small appliances because I move a lot, and the size is great for me and my fiance. I sometimes use it to cook other things that are not rice (like soups - made a tomato peanut one once, SO GOOD with zuccini parmesan waffles yummmm - or quinoa), but mostly I do rice - basmati and calrose. Because I love making indian and japanese food. And it makes both perfecly well! I know sometimes there can be defective machines randomly and maybe I lucked out, but I've been so happy with this one. I recommend!
