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.

I bought this in 2021 and it kicked the bucket two weeks ago after regular use and partial melting of the front button mechanism (don't put it too close to a gas stove). It worked wonderfully until its abrupt passage to the great kitchen cabinet in the sky. Good product, good price, great to have in stainless steel, will buy again.

We've had a few rice cookers over many years--this is definitely one of the better ones. Nice smaller size for us, easy to clean, nice to have the steam-hole, works very well.

The stainless steel inner pot is a fantastic feature, as it feels high-quality and is incredibly easy to scrub clean after use. Overall, it is a great value for the price and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable kitchen staple.

This rice cooker has been such a great addition to our kitchen. I love that it features a stainless steel inner pot with no nonstick coating, which makes it feel like a healthier option and easy to clean. It cooks rice evenly and consistently, and the keep-warm function works perfectly without drying the rice out. The 14-cup capacity is ideal for families, meal prep, or gatherings. It’s straightforward to use, well-built, and does exactly what it promises. Tip: Lightly rinse the rice and add a small splash of oil before cooking to help prevent sticking in the stainless steel pot. I highly recommend this rice cooker & I hope this review is helpful 👍🏻

For all those who complained about the rice cooker making a mess, it's not a big deal. I grew up eating rice and helping my Mom cook rice the old fashioned way on the stove. Rice is a starchy product and even with washing and rinsing, it will still make a lot of bubbles (when boiling) containing some of the rice starch. I received my Aroma rice cooker on March 29 and gave it a test whirl by using 3 cups of white medium grain rice. Surprisingly, there was hardly any mess from this quantity of rice. The rice reached the lid while cooking which may have prevented the bubbles from forming and "spitting" out the steam vent. The rice was very well cooked. The next day, Saturday, March 30, I cooked a single cup of white rice again using the provided plastic cup. Much to my surprise, and even after thoroughly washing and rinsing the rice 3x's, the boiling action created the bubbles which then reached the steam vent on the lid and splattered a little water out of that vent on to my table top. It's really not a big deal, again, because rice is a starchy food item and I've never cooked rice either with a pot on the stove or a rice cooker that did not have some splattering of water while cooking. For me, the real test is how well the rice cooker cooks rice. This model did an excellent job with my 3 cup and my 1 cup tests. The rice was very well steamed and delicious. I own a larger Aroma rice cooker from Costco which has a lid that latches. No messes with this kind of a lid, but the capacity of that cooker is too large for my reduced family size. I've owned other brands of rice cookers and they also had some water that gets splashed around while cooking. The other plus about this rice cooker is that when I went to register the cooker at [...], I clicked on spare parts and noticed that they sell a replacement stainless steel cooking pot for $9.00. I don't know of too many rice cookers that come with a stainless steel cooking pot which was a big factor in my purchase. Most cookers come with an aluminum pot or an alumuminum pot coated with a non-stick surface. Like others who have commented, I prefer the stainless steel and no exposure to aluminum, nor, exposure to peeling or flaking non-stick surfaces. I strongly recommend this cooker for a small family, couple, or anyone watching their diet and requiring smaller quantities of cooked rice. I haven't tried brown rice yet but I will soon and may revisit my comments about this rice cooker and its ability to cook brown rice. Note that the supplied instruction booklet says not to use the measuring lines in the pot for brown rice. Brown rice requires more water so you'll have to follow the instructions for cooking brown rice in this cooker. 05/28/2013 Update Some of the reviews complained about splattering from the vent in the glass cover. I found that I could use a regular or soup spoon to cover that hole and lean the handle of the spoon on the handle at the center of the cover. The concave part of the spoon faces the hole and the handle leans on the cover. I've done this several times and the cooking process (vibration caused by boiling, etc.) does not make my spoon fall. No more splattering! Also, as others have noted in their review, if you leave this cooker plugged in after it's cooked the rice, it's on a warming cycle, but, it causes the bottom layer of rice to stick to the bottom of the pot. So, I've timed my cooking cycle to about 22 minutes for a cup and a half (your time may vary), set a timer, when the buzzer goes off, I unplug the cord immediately. Of course if you want warm or hot rice, this action won't do. However, if you pull the cord, the bottom layer does not stick and your clean up is easier. I love this cooker. Makes perfect batches of rice everytime!

I've truly enjoyed using this small rice cooker; it's the perfect size for 1 person. I didn't know what i was missing until i bought it. I've come to enjoy the satisfying aroma of Himalayan brown rice cooking as i do my chores with no concern about overcooking or burning. However, i am careful to unplug the cooker as soon as i see no water. Leaving it on the "warm" setting risks overcooking it. Besides, i'm perfectly fine with room temperature rice. Also, the stainless steel bowl means no ingesting "forever chemicals" found in the coating of the non-stick version. And, there's the added bonus of being able to place the stainless bowl inside the fridge to store leftover rice. This rice cooker is one of my favorite purchases of 2025!

UPDATE: I decided to keep it because my rice comes out oerfectly cooked. I just loosened the screws on the lid a bit to let any soapy water stuck order the plastic handle part and the water now runs through, removing any stuck soap. Its a nice rice cooker- The rice came out nicely cooked but I noticed a black residue on the bottom of my rice on the first use- i hope it's not toxic. I didnt notice the black residue on the 2nd batch or other batches. I think itd a bit over-priced as it looks a bit delicate and Im sure the pot is Not Solid Stainless Steel. I do question whether it's solid stainless steel because I saw a reviewer's picture where the inside of the pot had chipped in some places, so I'm guessing it's a stainless steel coating only. Solid stainless should not chip or scratch. We've been using a solid stainless steel pot, pan and and eating utensils for more than 12 years and no chips or cuts! They are 18/10 stainless steel and still look like new today **see pic of 18/10 stainless spoon- you can see 18/10 printed on the spoon. I also noticed that water (and soap) gets trapped under the lid handle after washing the lid, and you can't clear it out because it's screwed on- this is the reason why i want to return it because I dont want the soapy water leaking into the rice through the screws (or screw holes) from the lid handle- ** See video and pic. I otherwise like the size, color and style of this rice cooker and i really like that it has it's own removable pot and glass lid to wash separately, unlike some modern rice cookers that have the lid attached with rubber around it, which is hard to clean. I do wish it would give an alert when it's done cooking because once it goes into warm mode, it badically keeps cooking and you could end up having burned rice stuck at the bottom. I havent had that happpen because i disconnect it within a few mintutes of the lever going from cook to warm.
