Aroma 1-6 Cup Rice Cooker

Strengths: See-through glass cover. Cooks 1-6 cups of rice. This cooker has an advantage over it's little brother (3 cup rice cooker) because it can keep rice warm. Steams vegetables. Comes with a Rice paddle.

Weaknesses: Metal container,hard to clean.Soak it in water overnight. Not nonstick. Take the rice out immediately after cooking, store in tuperware to prevent the rice at the bottom of the pot from turning brown.

Summary: This rice cooker has been faithful to me for about 4 years now. I use it almost everyday (I'm asian so I can eat rice everyday, LOL). Make sure you follow the rice to water ratio given on the package of rice, it works everytime! I didn't have good luck with Aroma's rice to water instructions.

I would never get a rice cooker like this again because the non-stick ones are better. I don't like it when the rice at the bottom of the pot turns brown. Sometimes, to really get the pot clean, you have to scrub hard w/ a scouring pad, which leaves green micro-particles everywhere in the pot, which is even harder to clean, and makes the rice taste funny. Be sure to soak it in water with soap, then use a brush with plastic bristles to clean.

Could REALLY use a non-stick surface inside!!

Strengths: Inexpensive, perfect rice every time

Weaknesses: No non-stick

Summary: No non-stick make clean-up a real pain. We usually had to soak the pan over night. On the other hand... It worked great to steam everything!! We had ours for ~ 4 years using it at least 1 time a week before it finally quit. I won't buy it again, just because of the non-stick, but it is a great cooker for the price.

Great Rice Cooker

Strengths: Small enough to store easily but big enough to cook rice for 3-4 people. Steaming Tray.

Weaknesses: No non-stick interior. Warming setting is too warm.

Summary: This rice cooker works well on everything. It can cook enough rice to feed a family of four as long as you are using the rice cooker to steam your veggies as well as having chicken to top it off. If you are paying attention and use the right rice to water ratio your rice will not brown on the bottom, as long as you take the pan out of the cooker when it switches to the warming setting. The warming setting it too warm and continues to cook the rice after it is "done." Other than that no problems with this cooker. The veggie tray is really helpful because steamed veggies taste better and are easy to cook up with this cooker. For the price this is a great deal.
