AROMA® 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

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.

(5 stars as long as you have a working switch on your product.) Bought as a "used" product from amazon warehouse deals. Product was complete, new in original packaging. HOWEVER, Clearly the reason it was in the warehouse for discount sale was because it was DEFECTIVE! The switch mechanism would not work. Would not hold in the "on" (cook) position when lever was pressed as it is suppose to & would pop right back to the warm position. However, fortunately I had the understanding & know how to make appropriate adjustments to fix magnetic switch lever & shortly had it working properly. Bought this product to replace my old non stick Aroma rice cooker which the coating was badly peeling off of and had a pot made from aluminum. Happily, found out that this new stainless steel pot was actually the same exact size pot & lid as my old cooker & fits in my old cooker as well! Which means my old steamer & lid & cooker are all usable parts still! I am taking a chance & buying another warehouse deal of these so that I can have another to use. I have wanted an extra pot to cook in while one is stored in the fridge & a second one would be great. I wish I had known about & had one of these years ago. I really like this product. It is simple but effective. You can cook as little as one cup of rice in it at a time or much more. I wanted a larger pot because I use it for far more than rice. It makes oatmeal quickly & so easily. Other uses include, pasta, potatoes, soups, vegetables, shrimp, hotdogs, etc... Anything you might put in a pot on the stove to boil, you can make in this cooker. The bonus is, if you happen to walk away because of a phone call or interruption & forget you are cooking, once the water boils off, the bottom of the pot warps slightly from the heat, pulling away from the magnetic switch & the cooker switch releases turning the cooker to warm mode. Therefore the bottom of the pots contents only browns slightly but does not burn. The stainless steel with just a slight browned food stuck to it is much easier to clean than stainless with burnt on food!! Plus, in the warm mode, I can slow cook soups & other things in the pot for a whole day or more. I just cover the lid a bit more w/ a towel to keep the heat in better for slow cooking. I was happy with my first rice cooker from Aroma & thought it was a great invention, only I wished it wasn't a nonstick coated aluminum pot. In all of my other cooking I only use steal & cast iron & was not happy to have to use aluminum & non stick coating because of all the characteristic problems as well as health concerns with those materials. I was happier to find they offer it with a stainless steel pot!! Same great cooker made even better!! Plus the stainless steel pot "should" last for years & years longer then the previous aluminum not stick pot. I recommend this product to all my friends.

After weeks of an exhausting searching for a safer alternative to plastic baby food cookers, it dawned on me to get a metal rice cooker. I am so glad to have found this once! Could not be happier with this purchase!!! Some of the reviews made me hesitate buying it, which led to several more hours wasted on reading reviews. If you are a parent looking for a safe and convenient alternative to plastic baby food cookers, don't waste your precious time and just get this thing. This little guy takes care of all our baby food steaming (with an additional SS basket I bought), boiling and thawing, and does a stellar job with rice. You don't have to watch it while trying to watch you baby, it goes to "keep warm" mode once the water boils out. The price is unbeatable, considering I was ready to drop close to $200 for a European brand baby food cooker because it's the only one on the market with a glass bowl. The additional steaming basket seemed a little pricey, and I could have probably done without it just by using a mesh basket we already have. But the proper one works well and looks nice. Here are a few counterpoints to previous reviews. Hope these save you time and money. **No problems with spitting & spattering, sticky, starchy rice goo coming out of the vent hole** Just rinse the rice before cooking, people! The white flour that coats rice will form a thick foam during cooking and start pushing up the lid regardless of which rice cooker you use if you don't wash the rice beforehand. The video attached to one of the reviews clearly shows thick foam bubbling up because of that. It's not so noticeable with large rice cookers where the foam doesn't reach the top, or pressure cookers/Instant Pot where you never see the foam once the lid is locked. But it is there. **No problems with coating coming off** The bowl seems like truly a stainless steel one. I don't scrub it aggressively enough though to see if there is coating that would come off. **Size is too small** It is a very compact appliance, and that is wonderful for something that sits on the counter top every day.

Note - this is a Four and Half Star review, but Amazon doesn't let me give those. The reason for the half star deduction is the paddle (see below). Here's the 4.5 star bit: I am not an "appliance" person, but there are a few things that make sense: electric tea kettle; waffle maker; blender; toaster; stand mixer. After that, meh. Or so I thought. It's really hot here right now, and so cooking is not appealing, but I wanted rice. What I didn't want is a rice cooker that was huge or would heat up the kitchen or had non-stick, etc. So I didn't think I wanted a rice cooker at all, because they all had some or all of those downsides, right? Well, not this one. Here are its big upsides: --stainless insert with the core at the bottom to transmit heat. --well-rinsed rice means very little bubbling (I put a folded piece of paper towel in front, just in case) --a little oil around the sides and no sticking --doesn't heat up the kitchen --it's small and cute and all metal oh, and also --great rice --versatile (like soup and noodles! and spaghetti!) --perfect for one or two people I can highly recommend this one. I had one 8 or so years ago, but non-stick liner started peeling, kinda large, and I just never replaced it. This is one of the few appliances I need or recommend, but do yourself a favor, especially if you cook for one or two, and get this one. It's perfect. My only regret is that I got it in white. The reason for the half-star deduction: My ONLY criticism of it is that the photos show a bamboo rice paddle is included, but the rice paddle I got is a plastic one, something I'll never use with food, and like we need one more plastic thing on this earth. It's disappointing because I was happy to get a rice paddle that would store with the rice cooker, and I just hate being sold one thing and getting another. But in the mix of it, the paddle is only worth a half star off. Fix that Aroma people, and you get a five star.

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!

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 am so happy with this stainless steel rice cooker. It is super simple to use, and I love having the peace of mind that we can enjoy our meals completely free of harmful materials. We are a family of 5, and although this cooker is a bit on the smaller side, it is so easy to use that making rice every other day is no trouble at all. The small effort is completely rewarded by having perfect, fresh rice more often. Highly recommend!

This AROMA Select Stainless 3-cup rice cooker is the perfect size for my needs, and it doesn’t take over our counter space. I’ve used another Aroma rice cooker for years with zero issues, so I already trusted the brand, but I chose this one because I’ve been moving toward stainless steel cookware and trying to reduce plastic and nonstick coatings like Teflon in my kitchen. Most importantly, it cooks rice the way it should. As an Asian person who’s very particular about rice texture, I’m picky about it being evenly cooked with the right bite, not mushy and not dry, and this one delivers. The price feels fair, and it’s a good value in my opinion because Aroma rice cookers are durable and tend to last a long time when you take care of them. If you want a reliable rice cooker in a practical size with a stainless option, this is an easy recommendation.

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!
