Multi-Function Cooking Modes
The AROMA ARC-5000SB prepares white rice, brown rice, quinoa, bulgur, farro, oatmeal, risotto, cake, and eggs with programmable digital controls. It also operates as a 5-quart slow cooker for stews and chili, and includes a steam tray for vegetables or protein cooked above the main pot. A 15-hour delay timer lets you schedule meals in advance.
Setup Requirements
The unit requires a 120-volt outlet and draws 500 watts during operation. Counter space must accommodate dimensions of 11.2 inches high, 11.4 inches wide, and 10.8 inches deep, with the appliance weighing 3.9 kilograms. A stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate clearance for the stainless-steel lid to open fully are necessary.
Capacity Upgrade Path
This model replaces smaller 3-to-6-cup rice cookers by delivering up to 20 cups of cooked rice from 10 cups uncooked, suiting large families or batch cooking. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly prepare more than 8 cups of cooked grains, need simultaneous steaming, or want slow-cooker and sauté functions in one appliance.

Questions about this item
What accessories come with the AROMA ARC-5000SB and is anything else needed to start cooking?
The box includes the cooker, a non-stick inner pot, steam tray, rice measuring cup and plastic spatula. No extra purchase is required to begin cooking rice or steaming.
Should I choose the 10-cup uncooked or 20-cup cooked capacity for my household?
Both figures describe the same pot: 10 cups of raw rice yield about 20 cups once cooked. Pick the size that matches the amount of dry rice you typically prepare.
What does the 500-watt rating mean for everyday cooking time?
At 500 watts on a 120-volt circuit the cooker heats the 5-quart pot quickly, bringing rice to a boil in minutes before switching automatically to keep-warm.
