5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, if it fits your needs, August 12, 2010

We have owned this for over 3 months now. It is our first rice cooker and I have only praise for it. But make sure that this fits your needs, otherwise you might be disappointed.

1. We use it pretty much only when we are traveling.

2. For two people, the quantity is just right. (If there are more members, a bigger volume cooker might be a better option.)

3. We read the earlier reviews and we switch off the cooker once the switch turns to warm after the rice is done.

4. We have made noodles and attempted a few Indian dishes (upma) which turned out quite fine.

5. If you wash the rice in the pot, it is a good idea to wipe the outside of the pot with a dry cloth before placing it in the cooker. That way the water won't ruin anything inside.

Just a couple of drawback:

** The amount of water needed varies slightly with each brand of rice. So I pretty much ignored their instructions and got it right after varying the water amount for 2-3 experiments.

** The etched measurement levels and water level markings in the dark background are pretty much impossible to read.

Overall, for the price, it is a great product. I think we recovered our money in the first 2 weeks itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Go Wrong, May 22, 2010

This review is from: Aroma ARC-733-1NGR 6-Cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer (Kitchen)

This is my first rice cooker. I am very pleased. You can brown the bottom if you leave it on 'warm' after the cook cycle ends, which is really quite hot. But, use common sense and unplug soon after the cook cycle is done and you will have no problems. I remove the inner bowl with a pot holder. Some like the rice slightly browned at the bottom. This product is great. I am not sure what all the bells and whistles do on more expensive models, but from what I have read on the net, and my own needs, you can't go wrong with this product and can probably make anything you want without the need for a more expensive model. I do keep the top part on, even when I only cook rice. In that way there is no chance of spillover from the cooking cycle. I mean, how can you possibly go wrong for 15$!!

If you love vegetables and don't have a large family this is great. It is easy to use and clean-up is done in seconds. You just put water in the bottom bowl and place any kind of vegetables you have around the house in the steamer basket. Put the lid on for 20-25 minute and go on with the rest of your meal and that is it. If it finishes before your dinner just put it on warm and your all set. If you have a garden, this is a must. Wonderful for keeping things warm till the family gets home. I love this little electric pot.
