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

(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.

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!

Great rice cooker. A good size for one person, but of course it can work for up to three people. Works perfectly and is well designed. Spatula feels good in the hand and is the appropriate size for the inner pot, so scooping works well. Nice! (Note: This model does not come with a steam tray.)

I honestly love this Aroma rice cooker. It’s super easy to use, cooks rice perfectly, and saves me so much time. I’ve used it multiple times a week for meal prep. Cleanup is easy too. Definitely worth the price.

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.

I am very happy to buy the stainless steel rice cooker. Thanks to Aroma company to make the stainless steel rice cooker which I was looking for years. Only wish they would made little more bigger in size . The rice cooker I am using since one month and it’s it’s excellent to make rice so far so good no complaints. No leaks. And it’s healthy to make and eat the in stainless steel then aluminum cooker which is coated inside once the coat comes out slowly and find you can see the aluminum which is bad for health . Stainless steel is best for making food and not harmful at all for health and now in my house every is of stainless steel to cook the food including the Aroma stainless steel Rice cooker . And it came in time and well packed. Thanks USA

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.

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

This item is priced very high, so I thought it would be good but was surprised to see that the item was not working
