Housewares 1.5Qt. Rice & Grain Cooker (ARC-363NGB),Black,6-Cup Cooked / 3-Cup Uncooked

The AROMA 3-Cup Rice Cooker is a compact, straightforward appliance that works well for small households, dorm rooms, or simple meal prep. It cooks up to 6 cups of rice (cooked) and also doubles as a basic oatmeal or soup maker, which adds useful versatility for its size. Cooking performance is consistent for everyday rice. It’s simple to use with a single switch operation, and the automatic “keep warm” function helps keep rice ready without overcooking it right away. For basic white rice and similar grains, it does the job reliably. The small size is a big advantage if you don’t need large portions, and cleanup is easy since the inner pot is lightweight and nonstick. However, it doesn’t have advanced settings, so it’s not ideal for people who want precise texture control or specialized cooking modes. Overall: A simple, affordable, and dependable rice cooker that’s perfect for small portions and basic cooking needs, with limited but expected features for its size.

I absolutely love this little rice cooker! It’s compact, easy to use, and cooks rice perfectly every time. The automatic keep-warm function is very convenient, and cleanup is quick and simple thanks to the nonstick pot. It’s the perfect size for small meals, side dishes, or meal prep. Great value for the price and a must-have for any kitchen. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m very happy with this AROMA 3-cup rice cooker. It’s the perfect size for small meals and cooks rice evenly and consistently every time. It’s also very easy to use, which makes it great for everyday cooking. I actually gave it as a gift, and the person really liked it. It’s simple, reliable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any issues. Overall, a great little rice cooker for the price.

This is a good, affordable, and easy-to-use rice cooker. No crazy buttons like some of the ones I have used in the past from Japan lol, just cook or warm. However, I am giving this review 4 stars because as much as I love it and as much as it has made my life easier when prepping rice, I do think the price and quality shows up here and there. First issue I have noticed: I have never been able to get the automatic sensor to work when cooking my rice. The first time I cooked rice with this thing to make a burrito bowl, I left it on for a bit thinking it would shut off by itself once the water evaporated, but it didn't. Thankfully I didn't burn my rice but it did crisp up and brown a bit on the bottom. Perhaps it's something I am doing, or maybe it's just the model or even my outlet, but as far as I am aware this is supposed to shut off automatically. I don't walk away from this thing while it's cooking so what I do now is just before the rice is done, I turn it to warm (like say a minute or two before it's fully cooked) and let it sit and steam off any remaining moisture, which works out perfectly for me. Second issue: also in my testing I discovered that adding at least a 2:1 ratio of water to rice with oil or butter results in perfect, fluffy, tender, restaurant quality rice every time. AGAIN this may be a personal issue - elevation, weather, water quality, who knows. I'm in Los Angeles so perhaps being so close to the ocean and the local hard water is doing something to my rice. But when I was doing 1:1 or 1.5:1 ratios of water to rice, my rice would be slightly underdone even when fully cooked. Like not crunchy but just a touch bit al dente. I only like al dente when making fried rice as the kernels hold up better when you're beating at them and pushing them around in a skillet, but for curries, bowls, and other applications I like my rice soft and fluffy. Even with more delicate rice like Jasmine or Basmati, I get the most amazing results with 2 cups of water vs just 1. Other than that this is perfect. It's super easy to clean; literally just run it under warm water and any left over rice slides right out. It's also small and cute and portable. For a single person or even a small family I think most people will enjoy having this in their kitchen. If you're more picky or don't mind spending a little more money on fancier options like steaming, brown rice, etc, I recommend upgrading to a Japanese rice cooker.

Aroma rice cooker is the best one. I like the quality of it. It’s the perfect size and color. Very easy to use and clean.

Super easy to use. Rice is perfect every time.

MUY PRACTICA

This product is a bit smaller than you'd expect... But it works very well. I can comfortably cook 3 cups of rice with ease. The rice/water ratio suggestions on the product may not be accurate depending on the type of rice you are cooking. Overall great product for the price. High Quality and not brittle.

En general funcionan muy bien estas acortan los tiempos para la cocción del arroz en general me gusta bastante

La ame , apenas la use una vez pero muy practica y rápida

Really pleased with this budget rice cooker ... gives really fluffy rice like you get in Chinese restaurants. Surprised and pleased. Only slight con is lack of an "off" switch: you have to unplug it to turn it off ... but that's what you get for this bare-bones price. One other comment: a few reviews mention sticking or burning ... I think this is because those folks are probably not washing the rice ... this removes a bunch of starch from the rice, which causes the burning ... no big thing, just swish the rice in the cooking pot around with water 2 or 3 times, roughly drain, and there you are.
