The Aroma ARC-5000SB is a 20-cup (cooked) rice cooker that doubles as a food steamer and a 4-quart slow cooker. It has dedicated white and brown rice settings, a sauté-then-simmer mode for dishes like Spanish rice and risotto, a delay timer, and automatic keep-warm. The steam tray lets you cook vegetables or meat above the rice at the same time. It suits large households and batch cooks who want one pot for rice, steamed meals and slow-cooked dishes; compared with basic rice cookers it adds browning and slow cooking, though it is bulkier and less precise than fuzzy-logic models.

Owners rate it highly for its size and versatility, using it for rice, steaming and one-pot meals. Complaints center on uneven results with some grains and on the keep-warm drying rice over time.
The AROMA Professional ARC-5000SB is a digital multicooker that works as a rice cooker, food steamer and slow cooker. It cooks 4 to 20 cups of any variety of rice and has specialized functions for white and brown rice. When the rice is done, it switches to Keep-Warm automatically, so it needs no monitoring or stirring.
A steam tray lets you steam meats and vegetables while rice cooks below. The Slow Cook function turns the cooker into a 4-quart slow cooker. The Sauté-Then-Simmer function heats high to sauté or brown food, then switches to a simmer once liquid is added. It suits dishes such as Spanish rice, chili and risotto.
A delay timer lets you set the cooker so rice is ready when you need it. The unit has a digital display and a heat-shielding handle.
