AROMA ARC-363NG Rice Cooker, 3-Cup Uncooked / 6-Cup Cooked, Ceramic Pot
AROMA•Under $30•4.5 / 5 (27773)
Quick verdict
The right cooker for one or two people who eat rice a few times a week and want to press one button. The ceramic pot is genuinely nonstick and PFAS-free, which is rare at $27. It has no timer, no fuzzy logic and no brown rice setting - white rice and oatmeal only.
Summary
A 1.5-quart rice cooker that turns three cups of raw rice into six cups cooked, using a CoreCoat ceramic nonstick pot made without PFAS, with a single cook button and automatic keep-warm, plus measuring lines and a manual for oatmeal and soup.
Best for
Singles, couples and dorm cooks making one or two servings at a time who want rice without watching a pot.
Not ideal for
Anyone cooking for four or more - six cooked cups is the ceiling. Also skip it if you need a delay timer or a brown rice/multigrain cycle; those need a fuzzy-logic cooker at twice the price.
Key features
Decision-friendly highlights instead of raw spec overload.
3 cups raw becomes 6 cups cooked in a 1.5-quart pot - sized for one or two people, not a family.
CoreCoat ceramic nonstick interior made without PFAS, so rice releases without scraping.
Single-button operation: pour, add water to the marked line, press, and it switches to keep-warm when done.
Doubles as an oatmeal cooker and soup maker per the included manual, with measuring lines in the pot.
Limit: white rice and oatmeal only - no brown rice, multigrain or delay-start setting, and rice left on keep-warm for hours dries out at the edges.

The right pick for one large room or a whole house. It runs long, is quiet enough for a bedroom, and the filterless design saves recurring costs. The tradeoff is the 6L tank: it is heavy when full and takes up counter space.
