A Very Capable Multicooker
The Aroma Housewares ARC-5000SB Professional Plus multicooker is a very good multicooker.With that said, I’ve considered returning once and still may return. The reason I’m thinking about returning (no fault of the cooker) is the cooker is a little larger that I thought when I purchased it. I’m in the process of consolidating my countertop cookers. I have a rice cooker, a 1.5 quart slow cooker and a 3 quart slow cooker. All of these cookers are manual. I’m would like to ideally replace them with just one cooker as long as the cooker does an adequate job and fits well. When I bought this cooker, I was under the impression that this is a 4 quart cooker as that is what’s listed by Amazon. But that’s incorrect as this actually is a 5 quart cooker. So, it’s a little large to sit on my counter top all the time.As for the cooker besides it size,, it has a logical layout of preset buttons. The ones I’ve use are brown rice, steam and slow cook. A main reason I bought this cooker is it has both a low and high setting on slow cook mode. I’ve tried two other cookers but each only had a single temperature setting. Once didn’t slow cook hot enough and the other was too hot. It is nice to have a cooker that has both settings.The cooker includes an instruction booklet, a rice laddle, and a plastic steamer basket. The booklet is understandable (not broken English like in some). The rice laddle works fine. The steamer basket works well as for withstanding the heat but I did not notice the hole are a little large say if yo wish to steam older rice. Bits of rice might all through. Not too bad, but noticeable.A big disadvantage to this cooker (like so many) is the design of having a lid that doesn’t detach for cleaning. The only part of the lid that detaches is the plastic vent underside the lide. This mean to clean the lid the popular way is the wipe down under the lid. I found that instead of wiping, I’d slowly have tilt the cooker about 90 degrees enough to put the lid under soapy water while taking care to not get any water in the cooking element. That approach works but is awkward to do.I was overall happy with the results of cooking with this multicooker. Brown rice turned out good (though not as good or fast as when I used a pressure cooker). The water markings on the inner pot were pretty much not readable so I had to add not referring to them. As a steamer, that turned out good too and it’s nice to have preset 5,10, 15 minutes of steam time at a touch of a button. As a slow cooker, the cooker performed well in making spaghetti sauce started off first on low then changed to high for about the last two hours.Here is what I like and dislike of this multicooker:——————————————————–Likes:- low and high settings in slow cook mode that performed well- efficient pre-programmed buttons to press- stain steel outer covering- does a good job cooking brown riceDislikes:- non removeable, difficult to clean lid design- inner pot water markings not legible- inner pot not stainless steel- steamer basket not stainless steelThere are some shortcomings to the multicooker. The biggest one is the non-removeable lid that make the lid difficult to clean. But that’s not enough to penalize a star since (unfortunately) that seems the consensus of most multicookers.The cooker does a great job as a cooker handling different tasks.Though I may end up returning and looking for something that better fits size wise on my countertop, I give the Aroma Housewares ARC-5000SB Digital five stars.

Versatile cooking unit!
I bought this unit to make black garlic and the results were spectacular. It also worked well to keep honey nut squash bisque warm during a recent potluck. To be clear, I did not make the bisque with this rice cooker, but I warmed the soup using it, and kept it at the perfect temp with the “keep warm” function using the rice cooker. Now I just have to try making rice with it. Good quality and easy to use.

Multipurpose, Easy to use, all in one package.
I wanted a large capacity specialty rice cooker but didn’t want to pay $100 USD or more for one of a decent size. I thought for sure that a specialty rice cooker was the way to go for good rice so I avoided multi purpose units like this one thinking they’d leave water or even burn the rice. About 8 pages into my search later I gave up on a specialty cooker and then found this. It’s the perfect combination of capacity, affordability and ease of use despite being the “Pro” version with lots of buttons. Why is it so great? Well, it came with EVERYTHING I need(rice measure cup, spatula, stirring ladle and even a steam tray for veggies, dumplings or meat) but I’ve also never had to monitor it or change the settings cause it has a “QUICK RICE” button. Contrary to the designation “QUICK RICE” it works on any kind of white rice and not just instant rice. As long as it’s measured right it takes all the guesswork out of cooking rice. It has all the functionality you’d find in a specialty rice cooker despite being multi-purpose and even comes with a handy guide in the manual for how to properly use each of it’s many settings on different foods and grains so if you keep it close by you’ll never be without a reference. The best part is it cost only about $55 USD. Way better than spending $100+ just to cook rice. There’s only 2 things about this cooker that I find slightly inconvenient and those are the automatic switch to “Hold Warm” setting and the removable tray meant to catch excess moisture is too small. There have been a few occasions where I’ve gotten distracted or sidetracked whilst cooking and come back to find a “crust” forming on the outer layer of the rice closest to the base of the pot or dried out rice on the very top cause the temperature of the “Hold Warm” feature is set too high. It’s not really a necessary feature to have for pasta and grains anyway cause of the increased risk of accidental overcooking so the feature should be optional or at least not automatically programed into the settings for pasta and grains. This is also a slow cooker so it makes sense it would have the feature but only with the right settings. Manufacturing-wise it’s a rather obvious and serious flaw to have since these are designed as multi-cookers. Has anyone ever left perfectly Al-Dente Pasta In a hot, moist pot and come back to STILL Perfectly Al-Dente Pasta? I highly doubt such an event has ever occurred or WILL ever occur. Rice is just as fragile in texture when cooked it goes from “Springy” to “Pastey” in the blink of an eye. As for the tray I’ve had it overflow on me several times. It’s a pretty big sealed cooker it should have a tray that holds at least a half cup of liquid but this one tops out at about 1/4 cup if not less. I haven’t measured it exactly but just eyeballed it over the few years I’ve had it. I don’t mind it cause it’s just water and as long as it’s not on a wooden counter top it won’t cause any damagr but it can be annoying cause the tray is meant to prevent that from happening as well preserve the exterior finish.
I bought this rice cooker a couple months ago, and so far it cooks excellent white and brown rice! I am Asian and we pretty much cook rice everyday. I have tried white jasmine rice and white basmati rice and the texture comes out perfect all the time, with or without the delay setting. I have also tried brown jasmine rice and red cargo rice and they also turn out with perfect results. The rice is soft, tender, fluffy and grains are separate.I do find better results when you SOAK the rice for at least 30 mins. before starting to cook, or use the delay timer. Even if you don’t, there is minimal browning on the bottom. I think the trick is to RINSE the rice thoroughly until the water runs pretty much clear. The more starch you remove from the rice, the less browning on the bottom you will have. When I wash the rice really well, there is no browning at the bottom at all. I think maybe if you keep the rice too long on the “warm” setting, this might cause some browning because I’m not too sure how hot the temp of the bottom plate gets that keeps the rice warm for hours. I have followed the instructions from the manual to the “T” for how many cups of rice to put and where to fill the water line. I have never had any problems with spills or overflowing water whether I’m cooking white or brown rice. So far, I have cooked as much as 6 cups uncooked rice with no mess.As for cleaning, like some other reviewers, I usually use a paper towel. I do remove the black knob above the inside of the lid each time I cook rice and the clear water catcher and wash those with soap and water. I have young kids, so I find baby wash cloths do a great job at wiping the inside of the lid as well. The inner rice container washes easily with soap and water, or I suppose you could also put it in your dish washer.Overall, having used this product for 2 months, just about everyday, it works like more expensive brands/models for a fraction of the price. I am still in disbelief how cheap it is for stainless steel, fuzzy logic technology and with how well it cooks rice. I haven’t tried steaming or slow cooking in it yet, so I will add to my comment when I do. I anticipate those functions to work great since the “main” function of this product cooks amazing rice!

He cocinado carne en su jugo ya varias veces, cocción lenta 8 horas y queda maravillosa. Recomiendo su uso, es una olla de buena calidad y hasta ahorita funciona perfecta, también el arroz me ha quedado muy bien.

En mi caso, solo yo la uso y es una maravilla en practicidad, solo lavar el arroz, poner el agua (o los jitomates licuados para hacer arroz rojo/mexicano) y tal vez sazonador y un click es suficiente para tener arroz.Cómo advertencia, no se asusten por los tiempos que vienen en el manual en tiempo de cocción, he notado que es más rápido de lo que dice.Construcción buena, fácil de limpiar, ahorra tiempo y es muy práctica, si tu bendición ya se fue a la universidad y quieres que coma sano, le facilitarias mucho la vida con una cosa de éstas.
