Simple, Reliable, and Perfect for a First Apartment Kitchen
Color: Red Style: Steamer
We had one at home, but we bought the Aroma Housewares ARC‑743‑1NGR 6‑Cup Rice Cooker for our daughter when she moved out after college, and it has been the perfect starter appliance for her new kitchen. The size is ideal — big enough to make meals for the week, but compact enough to fit comfortably in a small apartment. It cooks up to 3 cups of uncooked rice (6 cups cooked), which is just right for one person or for simple meal prep. The best part is how easy it is to use. With one button and clear measurements inside the pot, she never has to guess. The rice comes out consistently fluffy, and the automatic “keep warm” function helps her avoid overcooking when she’s busy or distracted. Cleanup is quick thanks to the nonstick inner pot. We paired this rice cooker with The Super Easy Teen Cookbook, and the combination has been great for her. The cookbook gives her simple recipes, and the rice cooker makes it easy to prepare a base for bowls, stir‑fries, and quick meals without any stress. For the price, this cooker is a great value. Amazon made it easy to compare models and find the best deal, and this one deliver exactly what a young adult needs: simplicity, reliability, and consistent results. What We Liked Perfect size for a first apartment Very easy to use — one‑button operation It delivers fluffy, consistent rice every time, and the vegetables come out perfectly steamed. Nonstick pot makes cleanup simple Great value, and Amazon helps you find the best price Pairs perfectly with beginner cookbooks and simple recipes Durability, we had ours for years and we find the same model for her but different color The cover traps the steam and smells perfectly, releasing everything only when you uncover it. Things to Keep in Mind Best for rice and basic steaming — not a multi‑function cooker The keep‑warm mode can slightly dry rice if left on too long Overall This Aroma rice cooker has been a dependable, beginner‑friendly appliance for our daughter as she starts cooking on her own. It’s simple, compact, and affordable — a great choice for anyone setting up their first kitchen or learning to cook. ... show more

Love this thing
Color: Black Style: Steamer
For most of my life, my experience with rice has been of the minute rice variety. But I decided if I was going to start buying the less expensive "regular" rice I might as well go ahead and buy a rice cooker. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on something that was as of yet unproven to me and this one had a pretty fair amount of reviews and it was definitely inexpensive. So far I have cooked white rice, brown rice, and quinoa. I would have to say that it's been a resounding success. I still have to play with the water levels a little bit with a quinoa because it is a little bit different than rice, but I'm still very pleased with how it turned out. With people that have trouble with the stuff coming out of the cooker and making a mess, all I can figure is that they're using way too much. The first thing is to only use that little cup that comes with it. They're one cup is actually equal to about 3/4 of one of our "normal"cups. and is big and fluffy is the quinoa cooked up, I could very easily see how if you were to load up three even if the proper size cups in that unit that it would definitely blow all over the place. I added one of the cups that came with the machine and it easily filled the container halfway up. And something else that I do besides just cooking rice, is I will add vegetables into the steamer tray and I will mix those with a rice or the quinoa. Is this cooker the best that's available? No I'm sure that it's not. However I can say that it does exactly what I want to do and is easy to clean up. Is it going to last me 20 years? No probably not. But I'm happy enough with this unit that even if I have to replace it in 6 months I would not hesitate to do so. *Update* Still the best money I have spent in ages. I have added split peas and lentils to the list of things I have cooked in this. No soaking, etc. Just dump in a cup (the supplied one) and 2X that amount of water. That works very well for about everything except white rice. You might get some scorching in the bottom, but it comes out so easy. I have been using this at work, both to save money and eat healthier. Brown rice and either lentils or split peas have been my preference the last week. Then I put a 12oz bag of frozen vegetables in the steamer tray (green beans, peas and carrots, or mixed vegetables are my preference in that order) then a diced up onion, then a diced jalapeno pepper. The final thing that makes it so good is a tsp of chicken base to the water in the lower rice cooker bowl. Better than bouillon low sodium is my choice. It's so good mixed together and seasoned with hidden valley spicy ranch dressing powder. I did the math and figured that I'm eating a healthy and delicious lunch for less than $9 a week. Can't beat it. I'm eagerly awaiting a container of low sodium ham base I ordered online. I think that will be amazing if I use it to cook split peas and mix that with green beans and onions. I will know in about a week. ... show more

Perfect Rice Cooker and Steamer--Best I have ever used! A detailed review follows...
Color: Red Style: Steamer
First of all, this combo Rice Cooker and Steamer is just perfect for myself or when I cook for a guest. However, for testing purposes, I cooked a couple of meals for myself and a hungry guest! The results is that it does a excellent job preparing meals for two people and in about 25 minutes to 30 minutes time depending on what you are cooking in this combo pot. *The steamer part is enough for two people. The rice part makes enough for up to six people for the rice however. I make plenty of rice for me (one person) and place the leftover rice in tightly zipped zip-locked bags and the leftover rice lasts me up to six days in the fridge (I eat one of these packages of rice at night and pour gravy over it, a sauce or even stir fry etc). *** PROS: + Cooking RICE and STEAMING Veggies at the same time--This unit is made to steam UP TO 6 cups of cooked rice. The amount of rice that I placed into the bottom cooker section was 2 cups of uncooked (rinsed) white rice, which resulted in 4 cups of cooked rice which was plenty for the meal I prepared for myself and my guest. After our meal, I still had 2 cups of rice the next day in which to prepare yummy Fried Rice with veggies (one of my favorite dishes). ***To steam fluffy and tender BROWN (Whole grain) RICE - I added just 1/4 cup more water to the pan and added the measured brown rice. I let it cook for a full 45 minutes. Because I added the extra water, the rice came out fully cooked, very fluffy and did not clump! The taste was great, so now I will be cooking MORE brown rice! + How to steam both RICE and VEGGIES at the same time to be done at the same time for TWO people: 1) I measured the rice into the bottom section and the water as shown on page 9 of this book. 2) I steamed these veggies in the top section as shown on page 15 these vegetables -- ½ Cup of Spinach, 1 sliced Roma tomato (medium), 1 small whole onion sliced in thin slices, ¾ cup of baby carrots, ¼ cup of thinly sliced celery, 1/8 cup of chopped garlic. (I had prepared a very light white sauce before this) and at the end of the cooking, I added the sauce to the steamed veggies and this made a wonderful vegetable and rice dish (with sauce) meal and it was quite filling! + Water - I added the amount of water that the cooker called for with the rice, however, I added good quality bottled water in place of the tap water. + Time to cook both the rice and the vegetable - The rice that I cooked was done in 26 minutes and the veggies also in 26 minutes (I like the veggies tender). So for me, both were done at the same time. I do not like gummy rice or overcooked rice, and this rice came out fluffy! + Making SOUPS, CHILIS, or STEWS (this will serve two people depending on how big the bowls are in each serving) - The night before I made Chili or Stew, I had already cooked my meat and it sat in the fridge until I was ready to make my Chili or Stew. So I then added all of my ingredients to make one of these. Note, it DOES not make much Stew or Chili however, if I make this just for me or if making lots of Chili or stew, I prefer to make it in a large 5 Quart dutch oven on my stove cook-top so there are more servings for others. *Update: Sept 19, 2014 - I spilled water on the instruction manual that came with the cooker and called the Aroma customer service and they are mailing me the same manual to my home to replace the one I spilled the water on at no charge! Also, I went to Google and did a search for Aroma ARC-743 PDF and found the full color manual in PDF! This is the best combo rice cooker/steamer that I have ever owned. ... show more

Perfect rice in minutes
Color: White Style: Steamer
I love this rice cooker. It’s perfect. Cooks evenly and reliable and temperature is perfect and the timer dings when it’s ready. It’s simple to use just wash rice and fill water to the line and cover and forget about it. Easy wash. Just wash the bowl with mild soap and that’s it.

Non-stick
Color: White Style: Steamer
Its a very good rice cooker. It is non stick. I burned eggs i cooked along with the rice and I let it set in the sink for awhile and when I washed it later it was very easy to clean. For the price I don't think you can do better. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This is my first rice cooker and WOW - this is so much better than stove-top rice cooking! I do have a few gripes with it nonetheless. Firstly, the photo of this rice cooker shows a MATTE red finish, but the REAL finish is GLOSSY red. I was really hoping for matte. Secondly, DO NOT USE THE INNER MARKING MEASUREMENT LINES that are on the inside of the non-stick bowl. They are terribly inaccurate and should not be used for ANY measuring. If you add dry rice up the marking that reads "3" on the inside of the bowl, you will overflow your rice cooker and there will be a big mess all over your counter-top. (I have attached a photo to show this). On the plus side, if you take the time to actually measure your rice out in a measuring cup, then it's true that you CAN cook 3 cups of dry white rice without it overflowing. The included plastic measuring cup that comes with this rice cooker is not accurate and their plastic "1 Cup measuring cup" is not 1 cup, but more like 3/4 cup. How hard can it be to make a measuring cup these days?!!! It's 2016 - I thought we were past things like this! The size is quite nice and it doesn't take up too much room on my counter-top. The blue lights are easy to understand the difference between cooking mode and warming mode -even from 20 feet away. If you leave the rice in this cooker when it goes into keep warm mode, it does ever so slightly crisp the outer edges, and although some people would complain about this, it doesn't bother me, in fact, I quite like the crispy bits. It's not burned, just a bit dry and crispy (and all stuck together). I like rice when it's like this. Overall, paying $30 for this rice cooker is a bit much since the $12 - $15 rice cookers do EXACTLY the same thing. I justified spending 2X as much on this cooker because I wanted it in RED, so that's worth it for me. If you're into saving money, then get the cheaper version and get the same exact quality from many other brands. ... show more

The little rice cooker that could!
Color: White Style: Steamer
I absolutely love this rice cooker. First and foremost, I received this same rice cooker in red as a Christmas gift from my mother last year. However, I felt daunted by it after one use (where I didn't properly read the manual and used far too little water) and it sat in my cupboard, unused, for quite a while until my boyfriend threw it out by accident as he thought it did not work. On a quest to 1) make healthier dinner choices and 2) find a use for the vegetables that I use for my work lunches before they spoil, I decided to come back to the original rice cooker that I didn't bother tackling before. This time, I chose a different color because white was less expensive than any other color -- which is always great to remember to double-check when you're purchasing on Amazon. At $17, compared to what they sell for in local stores (roughly around $23 at time of writing this), I felt like it was a good deal. For the beginner to rice cookers, you should always remember that you should take every opportunity to "spice things up a bit" -- that is, go wild with your spices that you add to your water! While it may be silly, I didn't even really think about this -- I had this vision of "vegetables and white rice" in my mind when I saw my rice cooker before. Not true! You can change the spices up so many ways to have very different tasting dishes. You can also add a chicken bouillon cube for extra flavor -- just make sure to stir your rice very well after you've finished cooking! In regards to steaming vegetables, I often throw an array of vegetables together -- leftover onion, asparagus, cabbage, etc. I also use frozen vegetables. Yes, frozen! I rinse them with hot water under the faucet in a strainer, drain, and transfer to my steaming plate. I've found that they taste just fine in a hurry and, quite honestly, it's a great way to save on grocery costs, too. I would suggest trying it out! I personally like to salt and pepper my vegetables before I put the lid on top, since it will fall down into the rice during the steaming process. Always remember to line the hands up with your rice cooker and steamer, since it helps ensure no "loose" spots where steam can escape. I always add my vegetables a little over halfway through the cooking process -- I've found that the directions that Aroma provided (while quite awesome and I reference them frequently for cooking times -- a really great instructional pamphlet!) to be a little too long to steam vegetables. Trial and error. You will find your preference. I've haven't tried to steam meat yet -- that may be an adventure down the road... In regards to cooking brown rice, remember that brown rice has a different texture than white rice if you've never had it before. It's a tiny bit chewier. The directions in Aroma's pamphlet that reference the water lines ONLY refer to white rice -- but they have included directions for brown rice. I always use the provided measuring cup to measure -- never continental measuring cups because I've always figured that they've done all the work for me in figuring out what is most suitable. I usually do have to cook it more on the longer end of the spectrum when it references times in the booklet. Basically -- if you're thinking about getting a rice cooker, I would recommend this one! It's not too advanced and it's fun to play around with, particularly for a person who lives alone or in a relationship. I think you may need a larger rice cooker if you're looking for something for a larger family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I look forward to trying to make non-rice items, too, like soups... :) ... show more
