Design

Although a good looking rice cooker doesn’t guarantee properly cooked rice, nobody wants an awful cooker in their well-equipped kitchen. To ensure that the rice cooker is appealing to the eye, the manufacturers decided to take a break from the monotony and design a unique product without losing the usability and functionality.

Most of the rice cookers such as the Aroma APC-805SB, Professional Cool Touch Pressure Rice Cooker, have their controls on the side but this masterpiece has its controls on the top which makes it easy to control it even when the rice is cooking without risking toppling it over.

In shifting the controls to the top lid, the designers didn’t lose any proportionality as the Aroma ARC-6206C stands out in the crowd and will enhance the aesthetics of any kitchen.

The subtle gray on the side of the cooker perfectly accentuates the shiny white color of the top and bottom giving the cooker a striking beauty. The stylish comfortable handle makes it easy to carry the rice cooker both in and outside the house.

The Aroma ARC-6206C measures 11.2 x 14.8 x 9.5 inches and weighs in at 10.55 pounds. The rice cooker is relatively heavy but then considering its big capacity, the weight can be justified.

Dimensionally, it won’t take too much space in the kitchen as it can comfortably fit into the corner drawer.
