Housewares 6-Cup (Cooked yield ) / 1.2Qt. Select Stainless Pot-Style Rice Cooker, & Food Steamer, One-Touch Operation, White

I do not understand the few not so good reviews, as this is an absolutely PERFECT rice cooker! The rice comes out just right. And the steamer tray, works just as well. The only thing, I recommend just making one cup (actually 3/4 cup of dry rice) - to leave plenty of room to build up the steam. So, in one little appliance you can make rice as well as veggies for your dinner! Also, the stainless steel inner pot is great. I don't have to worry about non-stick material flaking off. I find the stainless cleans up easily.

I'm finally upgrading my various cookers to cook with stainless steel inner pots instead of non-stick pots. Today I used this rice cooker for the very first time. When first opening the package, I immediately noticed a couple of things. First, the looks like a quality cooker. Second, the cooker is smaller than I'm used to. It is only a 1.2 quart cooker whereas I'm used to 3 quart. But actually, the small size is perfect for one person. For dinner, I made 1 cup (before cooked) of brown rice. I also used the included stainless steel steam basket to steam some sardines, smoked oysters and a tomato. For the rice, I added 1 cup rice, 1 1/2 cup water and about a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the rice from sticking to each other. Overall, I am impressed with the results. I didn't time how long it took to cook the rice but I say about 30-40 minutes. Upon uncovering, the rice looked great. They didn't stick to each other. However, the very bottom did have rice that was overcooked and stuck to the inner pot bottom. The steamed food was fine in temperature and taste. As for cleaning, I think having stainless steel help. I do have to soak the rice that sticks to the pot overnight. By morning, I expect them to easily come off. The stain steel basket was easy to clean with just liquid soap and water even though it got a little oily with the sardines and smoked oysters. As I mentioned, the inner pot is small. With just 1 cup of brown rice, the rice almost filled the pot. I figure if I was cooking white rice, that might even rise more and fill the pot. I haven't tried with white rice. Here is what I like and dislike of this rice cooker: Likes: ------- - made of good material and seems durable - stainless steel safer and no worry about non-stick coating anymore - small size perfect for 1 person Dislikes: ---------- - rice did stick to bottom of pot even after I added some olive oil to rice (but should clean off easily after soaked) I give the Aroma Housewares 1.2 QT stainless steel rice cooker 5 stars.

This little guy just arrived and I made my first two “rice cups”. I italicized it because I had no idea there was such a thing. WHAT a find!! I hate cooking rice on the stove. So I would make it in the microwave. But you have to use a very large covered dish, put it on a plate because invariably mine would boil over, cook on High, cook after at 50%, let it sit for X minutes. I mean that is a lot of hullabaloo for a little rice, don’t you think? This guy is toss in 1 to 3 “rice cups”, fill the water to the designated line on the stainless steel bowl, put the lid on and switch it to Cook. My rice was ready in 23 minutes. No fuss no muss. THIS is my kind of cooking!! I added 1 tsp of canola oil and I had next to no sticking. But really, it’s stainless steel, a little soak and it will wipe off. I also used the steamer basket as soon as it switched to warm and wilted some spinach for my rice bowl in 3 minutes. This is my new best friend. Next brown rice, wild rice, steel cut oats, steam eggs and I hear it will make dessert! Whoo! Get yourself one. This is a high-quality product, the stainless steel bowl is heavy as is the steamer. And a BONUS as of this writing, I just downloaded “Rice Cooker Cookbook for Absolute Idiots” for FREE!! I’ve had time to check it out and it is fabulous.

We've owned many rice cookers over 50 years, starting with a Toshiba in 1978. Of course, quality over the years has dropped, but this Aroma brings a pleasant change for the better. We wanted a simple cooker--just push the button. We don't want a cooker that talks to us or cooks umpteen various things--just rice, with a steamer feature on top. And we wanted to get away from aluminum and coated surfaces, understanding there would be more sticking with raw steel. The Aroma with stainless steel is perfect. What we didn't expect was its silent operation. No hissing, rattling or boiling sounds, just a quiet appliance that cooks the rice to our liking. We don't mind the toasting of some rice on the bottom due to the heavy steel. And it soaks off quite easily.

I have had an aroma rice cooker of this size for a few years now. It's actually the perfect size for a person like me - I eat rice most days, often for just myself or for 2-3 people. My cheapo one started giving inconsistent quality and I was concerned that the heating element was going out or one of the wires was getting old. I could have just bought another cheapo, but this rice cooker looked so much nicer. No non-stick coating to flake off, shiny and sleek looking. Even though it cost more than twice as much, I sprung for the stainless steel model. **That was a MISTAKE!** The rice always BURNS and sticks to the bottom of the pot!!! I have been using this style of automatic rice cooker since I was a little girl and I have NEVER seen rice burn like this. I tried all the tricks - greasing the bottom with oil or butter, more water, taking the rice pot out the second it clicked from "cook" to "warm" - it didn't matter. Every time we went to serve the rice, we would lose a good half inch, and scrubbing it is a total nightmare. I assumed that the unit was running too hot. But I inserted my old cheapo nonstick rice pot and magically, the next time I made rice, there was NO STICKING, NO BURNING! It came out perfectly fluffy and the pot was just as easy to clean as always. I can even let the pot run on keep warm for a bit before I return to the kitchen and serve it up. The main reason I want a rice pot are for convenience and to allow my children to make rice without my help. If I have to babysit the pot and it STILL burns, I would do better to just use a regular pot on the stove. Then at least it won't make a mess or become a fire hazard. Do yourself a favor and keep looking. If others have had better luck, then Aroma is producing an inferior product with inconsistent quality. My experience makes me want to go with a different brand next time. I'm so frustrated at the money I wasted.

We did not want nor need a high-end rice cooker with all the fancy bells and whistles. This fits the bill. We love that it is stainless steel and nontoxic. However, for the first few uses there is a chemical smell that off gasses from the motor. Also, the rice does stick, but we were prepared for this since it does not have any of the toxic coatings. We rub a little avocado oil on the bottom before adding the rice and do not let the rice sit on "warm" for more than 15 minutes and that seems to fix the issue. But if the rice does stick, just boil some water with a little white vinegar and it comes right up! No scrubbing needed. The rice cooker is smaller then expected. But it does cook 3 cups of rice - which is more than what we need. We like that it easily fits in the drawer with our pots and pans and is very light weight.

Great rice cooker! I don’t think it actually cooks 7 cups of rice, and the rice does stick to the bottom a little. However, it makes the fluffiest rice I’ve ever had, doesn’t boil over, cooks quickly, and is very easy to use and clean. Overall, it’s a great product for a great price, and I’m very happy with it.

I like this version very much. My last aroma rice cooker had a coated inner pot, plastic steamer tray, and a push button for selecting how many minutes you want to steam your veggies, and a button for cooking brown rice, white rice, and a beeping notification when timer has ended for steaming OR when rice is cooked, this version does not have those bells and whistles. But it's slightly heavier, better quality with the stainless-steel inner pot and stainless-steel steamer tray. My reasons to purchase. Very satisfied with this product!! RECYCLED OLD POT AT BEST BUY.

Not suitable in the EU. you would need a step down converter to operate. This should be way clearer in the description.

It s very good. Cheaper than the black one and comes with a stainless steel steamer :)

Not compatible to UK electric voltage. Very poor response to customers communication.

En enero cumplo el año de estarla usando dos veces por semana y todo muy bien. Altamente recomendada. Es un muy buen artículo, el arroz queda perfecto, además de la gran capacidad de la vaporera para cocer buena cantidad y diversas verduras. Cabe mencionar también que al ser de acero inoxidable, no se corren los peligros vs las ollas que estás recubiertas de teflón, ya que no el tiempo estás se desgastan y se ha comprobado científicamente que se ingieren pequeñas cantidades de este material antiadherente y son cancerígenos y tumorales.

Lo he usado 3 veces y ya no funciona. No me dejan devolverlo y lo compre hace solo 3 meses
