Aroma Housewares 32-Cup (Cooked) (16-Cup UNCOOKED) Pot Style Rice Cooker (ARC-7216NG) , White

Versatile, and not just for rice. I’ve used it for quick soups and reheating leftovers. I ordered the 16 dry/32 cooked size, and it is definitely enough to feed a crowd! Works well with smaller batches, too.

Although I ordered this product second-hand, it comes with a small dent in the handle part, but it works well and everything works. This rice cooker is very good, it makes the rice immediately. I like it a lot. It leaves the rice soft and it is ready in 8 minutes.

I am a traveling private cook and I used this model since summer 2013 for once a week, almost every week. Last night the button gave me hard time, did not want to stay down and cook. Finally was able to make it work but i took it as a warning. I need to replace this unit now, can't take anymore chance but it served me well. 4 years and a half traveling, sometimes even sleeping in my car for 40$cad in 2013, worth every dollar. Would buy again but i'm going with his bigger brother now.

it very good

Update after 1 month The heating element stopped working and the front panel lights no longer light up. Something burned out. This rice cooker is really poor quality and cannot handle the US electric outlets. Don't buy this rice cooker. Spend your money on a more reliable cooker. ---------------------------------------------- From the bad reviews of this rice cooker, you should know this cooker is only designed to cook white rice. If you want to cook brown rice, get a different cooker that actually has a setting to cook brown rice. This cooker only has 1 setting, white rice! This cooker also has an open steam vent, not a pressurized opening steam vent. This means you lose a lot of heat and water while cooking. For my sushi rice, I use a 2 cups of rice to 3 cups of water mix ratio. It comes out fine. I have noticed if I use any less amount of water, the rice comes out dry. You should use this 2:3 ratio when you first cook with this rice cooker so you don't waste time with dry rice. In addition, do not add any seasoning or other grains to the white rice. These additions take heat away from the rice so that it doesn't fully cook. The only thing I add is salt, which dissolves in the water. When the cooker switches from "Cook" to "Warm", the white rice is not actually fully cooked yet; so wait another 10-minutes after it changes to "Warm" for the rice to finish cooking. Finally, don't let the "32-Cup" capacity fool you. All rice cookers follow the rice industry standard of 1 rice cup is equal to 3/4 US cup. You can thank the Japanese for this since they were the first to make automatic rice cookers, and they chose this odd measurement. As a result, the capacity of this cooker is actually 24 US Cups, which comes to 12 US Cups of uncooked rice by design. However, you should not cook to this maximum amount because the cooked rice will overflow the lid. I cooked 10 US cups with this cooker, and the cooked rice reached within 1/2 inches of the lid. I don't dare cook more than 10 US cups. As for some bad reviews for burnt and sticking rice, if you use that 2:3 ratio and clean the pot that day, the cooked rice will not be burnt or stick to the pot. Of course, I wash my pot in the dishwasher with Finish to rinse off any hard water stains. This cooker will cook your rice if you cook within its design.
