Aroma Housewares Select Stainless Rice Cooker & Warmer with Uncoated Inner Pot, 14-Cup(cooked) / 3Qt, ARC-757SG & Aroma 6-cup (cooked) 1.5 Qt. One Touch Rice Cooker, White

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!

Love this compact, simple to use rice cooker. It comes with a measuring cup and spatula like most rice cookers, but it is stainless steel, so no need to worry about the nonstick surface going bad. I use it to cook up basmati rice to perfection. I make two and a half cups (of the cup provided with the cooker) uncooked rice, and it is usually enough for 4 adults in my home. Simply measure rice, rinse it well (I rinse about 5-6 times), and then add one 8oz cup of water for each rice cooker cup of rice (in my case, this would be 2 and 1/2 cups or 20 oz. There is no timer to set or different buttons to fiddle with. Simply cover the cooker, and push the button down towards “cook,” and a short while later you have perfectly cooked rice. I haven’t timed it to see how long it takes to cook, but it doesn’t seem like it’s more than 20-25 minutes. Once the rice is done it automatically goes to warm. I also like that clean up is easy with soap and warm water. It comes with instructions you can follow for different varieties of rice.

Love this rice cooker. This is the second one that I’ve purchased for a second home. Great that it’s stainless instead of aluminum. Works flawlessly. Cleans-up well. Definitely recommend.

I’m inexperienced with rice cookers, so I decided to try this one out based on the reviews.Some reviews complained about the bubbly water coming out during cooking. Most people said that rinsing the rice twice helped with this. I’ve never been a rice-rinser, so I didn’t rinse. I used 1 cup of rice (and 1 cup of water) for my first use of this rice cooker. It did bubble up quite a bit, but not to the point of overflowing. I could definitely see if you used more than 1 cup how this could be problematic and very messy. I only intend to cook 1 cup at a time, so if you are looking to cook more I would recommend finding a different model.I took the rice out immediately after it was done cooking. The bottom had not scorched the rice, but it was pretty stuck to it. I could definitely see if you left it on “warm” for an extended period of time that it may burn. I love that it’s stainless steel, so I’ll deal with the extra cleaning that’s needed.My first experience with a rice cooker and I give it a thumbs up! It’s just me, I don’t eat a ton of rice, I could never get the rice cooked right on the stovetop, so this is a win-win. It’s small enough to store away and easy to use!

As part of my effort to eliminate plastic in food preparation, I decided to invest in a stainless steel rice cooker—and it has been a fantastic decision. The stainless steel inner pot is not only safer but also ensures even cooking without any lingering odors or stains. It’s durable, easy to clean, and free from the concerns of harmful chemicals leaching into food. The rice comes out fluffy and perfectly cooked every time, and the cooker’s simple design makes it intuitive to use. This rice cooker has been a great addition to my kitchen and aligns perfectly with my commitment to a more sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle. Highly recommend it to anyone aiming to reduce plastic in their daily routine!
