Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aroma ARC-733G 3-Cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer
Customer Review: A utilitarian appliance.
Summary: 4 Stars
I made rice on the stove for years, but finally decided on getting a rice cooker for sake of convenience. My first instinct was to go find the Zojirushi with the most options...but I decided instead to get a really basic model to see if I would use it much. Needless to say, I haven't had rice on the stove since this showed up. I've used it roughly twice a week since I bought it 6+ mos ago.
It is a very handy appliance to have around if you make rice on anything like a regular basis, or would if it wasn't a hassle. This particular model was the cheapest I could find, so I didn't expect much. At less than the cost of some CDs, it is more or less disposable. If mine breaks, and I'm assuming it eventually will, I'll have gotten my money's worth many times over. It can either cook or warm...that's all it can do: 2 functions. To turn it off you must unplug it. The inner pot is just raw aluminum...lousy to cook on and clean up, but probably safer than Teflon in the long run. I find it easy enough to clean by soaking it for awhile in warm, soapy water. Also adding a little oil while cooking, thoroughly rinsing and soaking the rice--till the kernels are brilliant white and the water is clear, and not letting it sit on warm, post-cook cycle, for too long, usually eliminate burning the rice on the bottom.
I have never encountered the film underneath it that other reviews have alluded to...but that sounds plausible enough given how warm the outside of the cooker can get. This thing is a bargain...not a great piece of equipment. That said I probably wouldn't buy another one; I'd upgrade instead. However, I don't regret this little cooker at all and it wouldn't be fair to compare it to models costing 10-20x as much...I would still have been happy with this product at $30-50.
