Aroma Housewares AMC-130 Whatever Pot, Indoor Grill, Cooking, Hot Pot with Glass Lid, Bamboo Handles, 2.5L, Stainless Steel/White

This multicooker is a brilliant space-saver that has completely transformed my small kitchen setup. Its two-in-one design is incredibly practical, allowing me to switch between the stainless steel pot for soups and pasta or the non-stick electric BBQ pan for searing meats and grilling vegetables. I use this every single day, so it stays permanently on my counter, and I constantly admire its simple, beautiful design. The grill pan and pot nest so well together that I sometimes forget the grill pan is underneath; I will wonder why the pot isn't heating well, only to notice the small black line around the bottom that tells me the grill pan is still tucked inside. Beyond that minor hiccup, I love the elegant bamboo wood handles that stay cool to the touch, and the adjustable temperature dial makes it so easy to get the heat just right for simmering or boiling. It is the perfect compact solution for someone cooking for one or two people who wants to maximize counter space without sacrificing versatility.

I use this for 2 people hotpot and bbq, super easy to use and clean.

I like that the stainless steel pot means no harsh chemicals. The only aspect to clean is that you might have to soak it. The heat element works amazingly well, so you probably won't need as much as you think. I've posted pictures of what I ended up making (for two--with leftovers), which was Loaded Cheeseburger Mac and grilled garlic buns. I did the low liquid version of the macaroni, adding in cheese, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and a bit of half and half, before adding the shredded cheese. Once that was cooked, I set it aside on a potholder, with the lid on to keep it warm. It only took about 10 minutes to season and sauté red onion, brown the lean ground beef, and to cook off the moisture from half a can of drained, diced tomatoes. I used pot holders to remove the grill pan and combine the meat, onions and tomatoes with the cheesy mac, then returned it to low heat, stirring in a spoonful of pickle relish, then seasoning a bit more with mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Once it was hot enough, I removed the hot pot with the lid on, quickly wiped out the grill pan, and took the two halves of a hamburger bun, buttered one side and added a bit of garlic powder and dried parsley. I grilled it up within 2 minutes, and put the hot pot back in on low heat, with the cheeseburger mac ready to serve. I think I'll try the constructed chicken pot pie next. I highly recommend this appliance!

This has a lot of style packed into a small package, and is really easy to use. The grill pan was my primary reason for purchase, and I like that the ridges have enough lift to give nice grill marks, but not quite 5-star since it grills well but a bit low a temperature. As a grill, steaks came out okay, better for 1/2 inch steaks, and skewers of chicken, shrimp and veggies came out perfect - tip: get 6" skewers, anything bigger won't fit. Burgers also worked well, so the only reason for not 5-star, and expected in this type of appliance, is that it simply doesn't get hot enough for steak searing......... For hot pot, stew and other dishes, it is absolutely perfect, the right size for one or two people. It boils fast, easy to shift to a simmer, and fits nicely in the middle of a table for easy access. The bowl is a bit deep for anything like fried eggs, but works nicely for pan sauted veggies. So, big marks for compact and cute style, great hot pot and saute functionality, and 4-star as a grill for most foods.

Right size, good design, easy to use. I love the stainless steel material and detachable so it is easy to clean.

This is a great little cooking appliance. It heats up fast and I love that I don’t have to use my gas range all the time. I love the stainless steel pot and the separate griddle that it comes with as well as the glass lid. The only change or suggestion that I would make is I wish the pot had a little handle. After boiling pasta and to drain, you can’t do it 1 handed and need pot holders because it gets extremely hot. Not a deal breaker but a handle would make this the perfect device.

Our other Aroma brand pot lasted about 2 years but doesn't get as hot anymore so went searching for another and came across this. Double the cost half the size... aesthetics won this round but kind of regretting it. It's cute and the size is perfect for my small family of 3 so 1 star just for that. However the quality of it seems to be lacking. The "wood" handles are damaged upon arrival and there is some scuff marks on the matte white base unit which I had to use a magic eraser to remove most of. The hotpot insert does works well tho and gets really hot. 2 stars for this feature. The grill insert however, is horrible. The non stick is already scratched when using silicone thongs, and it is SO thin. I'm hoping to find another insert that can fit that which is better quality.

I can’t believe how easy it is to use. It is lightweight, easy to store, FOOD DOES NOT STICK UNLESS YOU DON’T SPRAY IT/OIL IT FOR COOKING. THE HEAT LEVEL IS GOOD. THERE ARE THREE SETTINGS. IT LOOKS KIND OF CHEESY WHEN I ORDERED IT AND IT WAS REALLY JUST GOING TO BE FOR COOKING RICE, BUT I ENDED UP USING IT TO COOKING ENTIRE MEALS. I COOKED PASTA WITH IT FROM START TO FINISH. JUST PLAIN HAMBURGER, PASTA SAUCE, AND NOODLES. WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT YOU CAN COOK AN ENTIRE BOX OF NOODLES !?🥰 it’s really good value for your money. Versatile, it has a grill included with it. I love that. I wish that I could get my mom one. This was kind of a big purchase for me although it was like $35, I’m a single mom etc. etc., definitely worth purchasing I promise!

القبس حقها رغم اني حطيته بتوصيلة بس خربت من استعمالين ما استفدت منها😭💔 وما كان مكتوب اخخ يالقهر اعطيته نجمة لانه استفدنا من القدر وغطاه😂ولا هي ما تستاهل كخة

This pot is so great for traveling families who need a portable pot. I love that both stainless pot and the non-stick pot are removable - perfect for cleaning but also for serving food. It’s easy to use. While pot inserts aren’t extremely thick, if you use the right amount of heat you should be able to re-heat or cook foods with no problem. The pot is an okay size to bring around with you on road trips or even pack away in your luggage.

UPDATE. I BOUGHT THIS AUG 2021. Used it almost daily. It’s APRIL 2022. And it will not turn off. It is blazing on high even if you turn the dial completely off. It glows as if it is on. And you have to unplug. Not safe. Toasted in less than a year. All I have made is soups. Rice. And I would fry and egg in the morning. So initially I Spoke too soon ... in my excitement in receiving this.. maybe because it was such a relief to not be cooking all my meals in a single size rice cooker... usually use to regular or gas stoves.... devastating times.. don't ask. Anyways... other reviews are right..when simply cleaning the knob with ECO SAFE cleaner .. the writing wears off... the Stainless part of the pan is SOOOOO THIN... it can barely handle it's own heat setting .. as it flexed like a cheap cookie sheet would in the oven...on the bottom... The look of it is great... honestly it had tons of potential... I use it .. but it could be better. I am sad that you cannot choose to leave it on a heat setting... if you are trying to boil water or cook certain items...sometimes it's hard as it will " THINK" it's hot enough because of the heat setting a switch off... and on .. and off and on... This is worth about $50 MAX..... absolute max... to pay $100 for this ....seems Wild.. now that I have owned it... it's not worth it.... they really need to up the quality... I don't care that the handles are fake wood even that is fine.. but other parts of it really need assessing...

It does have hot spots, but otherwise very good.

The great bonus is to have two options in one package; broiling and cooking. It is a very practical size for one or two people. I really enjoy it a lot.
