Aroma Housewares Select Stainless Rice Cooker & Warmer with Uncoated Inner Pot, 14-Cup(cooked) / 3Qt, ARC-757SG

This stainless steel rice cooker is amazing! The build quality feels very solid, and I really like that the inner pot is stainless steel instead of non-stick coating – it’s healthier and much more durable.The rice always comes out fluffy and evenly cooked, and it keeps warm without drying out. It’s also very versatile – I’ve used it not only for rice but also for steaming vegetables and making soups. Cleaning is super easy since there’s no coating to worry about.Overall, this is exactly the kind of rice cooker I was hoping for: reliable, safe, and perfect for everyday use. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality rice cooker.

We had our old Aroma rice cooker for decades. Same size and design but with a non-stick interior. The non-stick was nice but never fully resolved or reduced the amount of rice that sticks on the bottom. But not difficult to remove. Just soaked in warm water for a bit and it was easy to remove. The rice cooker was reliable all those years. Passed it down to a friend and bought this one with the stainless steel interior. Love the clean look of the stainless steel pot. Rice cooks perfectly as expected. Rice still sticks at bottom, but easy to resolve. You'd have the same problem if you cooked it in a standard pot on the stove top as my mother use to when I grew up.

(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.

Just got my rice cooker the other day. I made my first batch of rice tonight. I washed the beautiful stainless steel pot with warm soapy water. Whew! Once the heat element heated up my kitchen smelled of hot plastic. I was concerned that my rice would taste like plastic but it did not taste like plastic. The rice was moist and well cooked. I chose this unit specifically for the stainless steel cooking pot. The cooking pot cleaned up nicely after use with warm soapy water. I do hope that the next batch of rice I cook will not smell up my kitchen.
