4 out of 5 stars the auto-shutdown feature and stainless steel material save me time and trouble   August 28, 2010

I was looking for something that can quickly cook Chinese red dates plus a few other Chinese herb to make hot tea in the morning. I used to use regular cooker to complete this process, but it was time consuming, cause I had to watch it almost the whole time for safety issue. Now with this Aroma AWK-160SB cooker, I don't need to watch it cooking anymore. It will auto-shutdown when the water is boiled to certain stage. Also, I can leave the red dates and herb in the stainless steel pot without health related worries. This cooker is very light weighted. It's easy to bring it on travel.

There is one drawback, though. I hope this cooker can cook longer before it shuts down. To get around this issue, I normally press the button to start cooking again a short while after it's shutdown. Usually three times repeating cooking is enough for me.

Overall speacking, this is the best I can find so far for my special need. Thank you Amazon for providing various products for us to choose from. In addition, Amazon user reviews were very helpful to me when I was trying to make a purchase decision.

I absolutely love my hot pot...I use it to warm soup, steam veggies with the basket, make pasta, cook a small portion of rice, cook oatmeal, heat up chili, heat up water in a flash and it uses far less energy and heats up way faster than my electric range.

Clean up is not a big issue...I just use a scouring pad...the trick is not to let the cooked food sit...you rinse the food immediately and then whisk the scouring pad and its done. The lid is not the best design, I usually remove it before pouring out the hot contents.

Sadly I had to return this item as the lid, although you can remove it altogether, does not open up with a hinged feature as my last hot pot did. I did not want to have to remove the lid for each filling and would not have ordered the item had I understood this aspect beforehand. Otherwise it seems to have all the features I was looking for. I really have to say that Amazon is absolutely THE BEST...super fast shipping and easy returns. Why would I shop anywhere else online?


3 out of 5 stars Love It -- But Electrical Problem   September 20, 2009

I bought this item to boil water and cook food without a range after my house burned down. It boils water pretty fast and is great for drip coffee or espresso. You can also throw the tea bags right in it for tea. I cooked pasta in it, and although the cleanup isn't fun and you have to be careful about the water level so it doesn't boil over, that works too. For a single serving, it's so much faster than a stove as well. I also used it for instant oatmeal and to heat soup. You can eat right out of it if you want.

To clean it, I soak it in a vinegar solution overnight, and then it's easy. I have well water with lots of minerals, so that takes care of the mineral buildup at the same time. I'd never get one that didn't have a wide opening as it would be horrible to clean! The simple shape and wide opening means you can get right in there with a scrubbie.

I also love that there's no plastic in contact with the water. I had a plastic one, and one day it shocked me when I placed my finger in the water (the metal heating element didn't interface well with the plastic container), and the plastic got horribly discolored with iron and tomato sauce.

But, after using the Aroma for four months, I started to smell plastic burning inside the unit. It seemed that it had an electrical issue, and that could cause a fire! Which, after being through a fire and being told by the fire marshal that small appliances are a major cause of house fires, freaked me out! I hope I just got a defective one. I liked its functionality so much I might try another...it's so versatile and the stainless steel is high quality and thick.

I bought this because I wanted stainless steel rather than plastic and the Aroma pots are by far the cheapest ones like that. It boils a liter of water in 5 minutes which is great and I also like that its opening is large so you can clean it out if you decide to put teabags in it, or heat up something else (I know someone who had to throw out one that was tall and skinny because teabags molded after a few days because it stayed wet in there and you couldn't get in). I use it also to cook pasta which works surprisingly well, you still have to keep an eye on it, but its just easier if you're doing it in a dorm. It also cooked rice, but it was a pain and I really had to pay attention. The pouring spout is the clear downfall it is barely existent, but if you go slow its no problem, just a little annoying. Overall I really like it for its versatility and it has been a worthy purchase as I use it every day for tea.
