Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, Model ARC-743-1NGR [+]
Jun 27 2022
Aroma Rice Cooker is a smaller 2-6 cup rice cooker, which means the number of cups after cooking because three cups of uncooked rice when done fills up the pot. Enough rice for a family of 4 to 6 people.
It's cheap at $25 retail. C3 gifted me one when I moved in three years ago and at least the first year it made great rice. Then the second year good rice and the last year good to less than good, kind of prone to burn rice a bit. Maybe I scratched the pot a bit and I've read you're not supposed to machine wash the pot.
The sensor was dying and then the cooker stopped turning on today. Three years is not bad for $25, though my previous rice cooker had lasted a couple of decades I think. Anyway, it's now time to replace it with a better rice cooker that costs $200 with tax so I have high hopes for that.
Still, for the price this is a good basic rice cooker.
