Pros:

Enjoy cooking rice in a stainless steel pot for an affordable price. Stainless steel cookware works great due to the simplicity of cleaning it, its attractive appearance, and heat conductive properties. However, the problem with stainless steel and kitchen appliances is that you often have to pay primo bucks to get it. With the Aroma Simply Stainless Rice Cooker, you can get the stainless steel for less than $50.

Cook white, jasmine, brown, and just about any kind of rice you can think of with this machine. Beyond rice, you can cook things like quinoa, oatmeal, and buckwheat in the Aroma Rice Cooker. While the rice Simply Stainless Rice Cooker only comes with one cooking mode, instructions are included on how to cook varying kinds of things.

Aroma really did a great job making a cooking pot without Teflon. After witnessing issues with the non-stick coating in other models of Aroma Rice Cookers, I became a bit disappointed with Aroma. With a stainless steel cooking pot, there are no issues at all with any sort of chemicals flaking off onto your food. Some people say you need to put olive oil on your cooking pot to prevent sticking, but I have never had a serious problem of rice sticking with stainless steel.

Set it and forget it when it comes to making rice. Simply flip the switch to the 'Cook' setting when the proper ratio to rice and water is in the rice cooker. The Aroma Simply Rice Cooker will boil and simmer your rice for about an hour. When it is done cooking, it will automatically flip to the 'Keep Warm' setting. Come back to enjoy a warm bowl of rice when ready for the meal.

Cons:

Starchy overflow can happen. If you either overload too much rice into the Aroma Rice Cooker, or if you put too much water into it, you will have a mess on your hands. In order to prevent this, the best thing to do is to always put proper measurements of grain:water in the Rice Cooker. This is not always possible, so I have found it best to keep a plate under the Aroma Cooker so as to catch any mess that may overflow.

Guarantee:



Aroma offers a two year warranty on the rice cooker in order to repair any damaged or broken portions of the rice cooker. Information on how to contact Aroma is provided in the instruction manual and can also be found online through Aroma's website. 

The Amazon A-Z Guarantee is the best guarantee in the market. In the event that the product is not delivered, delivered in a broken condition, or is not meeting the quality expectations of the buyer, the item may be returned to Amazon for a full refund. A 30 day window exists to file a claim to Amazon over any problem that may come up with the product. 

 

Value for money?

The Aroma Simply Stainless Rice Cooker makes for a great stainless steel device in the kitchen. At less than $50, the availability of stainless steel appliances is slim pickings for the vegan kitchen. Aroma's Rice Cooker will get the job done and leave an easy cleanup of the stainless steel pot after the cooking process. This makes it a good choice for anyone looking for an inexpensive rice cooker. Overall, I give the Aroma Simply Stainless Rice Cooker 3/5 stars.
