Product Description
Amazon.com Review
In many homes, it's not dinnertime unless the rice cooker is on and bubbling away. Rice cookers are a workaday kind of appliance that will last for years and serve up perfectly cooked rice day in and day out. And for the health conscious, they're an ideal choice for steaming meats, fish, and vegetables.
This is a basic, no-frills model--but no less reliable than one that costs twice as much. The most important elements are all here, including automatic shutoff and a warming feature that will stay on indefinitely but keeps rice at its peak for an hour or two. Because this model does not have a nonstick lining, hand-cleaning with soap and warm water is recommended. Also included is a booklet that provides specific directions on rice cooker use, and the requirements of different types of rice. --Sally Bergesen

The Bare Minimum. . .,
By J Keistler "johnrktx@sbcglobal.net" (Lake Jackson, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Aroma ARC703G 3-cup Rice Cooker with Glass Lid (Kitchen)
I bought one of these cookers to prepare brown and white rice. I'd read so many reviews stating that these simple machines would do beautiful rice, just without the bells and whistles of the more expensive machines. 'Wrong. As other reviewers have stated, my cooker bubbled water and steam out the lid, even when doing less than capacity. Additionally, the rice tended to stick in the container even after using Pam beforehand. Brown rice was a particular nightmare. After wrestling with this appliance for a couple of weeks, I ordered a fuzzy logic National (Panasonic) 3-cup model (I'm single and don't need much). My new electronic cooker does all it's claimed to do. It prepares beautiful rice of all types, including Basmati and brown. It keeps rice warm and delicious for up to 13 hours after cooking. It can delay-start the rice so it'll be fresh when you get home from work. I often make flavored rices using broths or bouillons; these flavors always end up uniform in the rice, and without excessive sticking in the pot. My National machine has a smooth white plastic exterior and lid that stay cool and the finish is very easy to keep clean. The pot insert is non-stick; there's usually about a tablespoon of rice sticking to the bottom that just wipes out (some people like to eat this). The cord is retractable into the bottom and the top has a built in handle to store it easily. A terrific appliance! Don't waste your money on a cheapie machine. Save if you have to, and get one of the new 'fuzzy logic' cookers. They truly are better made. Amazon sells Zojirushi, which is top-notch but also high-priced. Also, keep your eyes open for cookbooks on rice cooker cookery. These appliances can do much, much more than just rice!

I received this as Christmas present,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aroma ARC703G 3-cup Rice Cooker with Glass Lid (Kitchen)
The steam and rice water spurts out the top vent hole, and seeps out under its cover, runs down the outside of the pot, and makes a mess of kitchen counters and cabinets.When it's done cooking, one fourth of the rice is stuck to the bottom of the pot. The manufacturers must be aware of this, as the instructions state: "If you experience sticking, try spraying with a light coat of cooking oil before adding water and rice"-- it doesn't work, nothing seems to help; it only increases the amount of rice burned in the bottom of the pot. Also, when it's finished steaming and the light goes off, it's still using the electrical power source, so you need to remember to physically unplug the cord, otherwise it continues to consume electrical power. To clean, it has to be soaked, at least over night, using soapy water, then scrubbed. After struggling with this all year, I'm happy to say I got a new Krups rice cooker this Christmas, and can't wait to throw this into the garbage!

Surprisingly simple and practical for 1 or 2,
This review is from: Aroma ARC703G 3-cup Rice Cooker with Glass Lid (Kitchen)
After using my roomate's rice cooker for over a year, I have found that I reach for that over a regular pot whenever I cook white rice. Now that he is about to take his cooker with him to a job overseas, I had to finally get my own! Truly, this is no great shakes of kitchen technology, not very far removed from an old hot pot, but given that the cooking of rice is such a simple task itself, this is a fine marriage. As for the Aroma 3 cup model (the only one I am familiar with) I can tell you that I have had very little trouble with it. I have never had rice burn on me (the auto shut down function is great) but I have had a few crispy brown sections (like with baked rice, more of a pleasure than a gripe by far)! I also like the fact that I can set it up virtually anywhere and free up space in the apartment kitchen, not a grand hall. I have not used it for steaming, but I might see if it holds it own there. All in all, if you are only cooking for one or two people, the Aroma 3 cup Rice Cooker is a very good value for the covenience and reliablity it has shown, and you will be doing yourself a favor by getting one.
