Aroma ARC-743-1NGB 6-Cup Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, Black

I had a cheap one of these I purchased at Walmart a few years ago that had a metal canister to cook the rice in and it stuck every time. I decided to get one of these with the non-stick canister and hey I even got a steamer! I don't write long reviews telling you all about it pros and cons. I'll say this, it's a great little rice cooker for the money and I would def recommend it to someone else.

I recently purchased this and I must say it is perfection. I have never had a problem with "boiling over", "spewing" or "sticking". I like it so much I plan on buying a larger one! Hint: Do not put so much water in the bottom and it will never "boil over". also, a little spray in the bottom may help. HOpe this helps.

Looks nice. Glad i got it. I have a 7/14 cup Aroma cooker for more than a year that im very pleased with but needed something smaller.

Works great.

Only caveats ive learned is that

a) you cant cook 3 cups of "real" basmati type rice without it reaching lid. I turned the steamer upside down and put lid on that as temporary measure. Rice came out just fine, but you cant easily stir it after it goes to warm mode to fluff it up while it cools down/cooks more because its reached the top of pot.

b) you must absolutely rinse out the rice a couple times so the water is near clear so you dont get all that froth. (guess all the complaining about spilling is about that. i cheated once and didnt rinse... ofcourse it says this in manual.

Cooks rice great, easy to clean, looks very nice and its tiny.

Also, Aroma sells replacement parts unlike other manufactures. (including the non-stick inner pot) ( $6 each, i already ordered...Read more
