If the chosen recipe must cook without pressure, the Aroma ARC-1230 documents a 2–10-cup non-pressure Brown Grains method; the pressure-capable Cuckoo LHTAR0609F also has a non-pressure White/Open plan, but its upper amount is not confirmed. These are method-level choices, not a blanket statement about every menu.

These examples distinguish an all-non-pressure cooker from a dual-mode cooker with a specific non-pressure plan; the complete result set remains accessible.
| Model | Exact non-pressure plan | Documented amount | What is not transferable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aroma ARC-1230 Digital Rice & Grain Multicooker | Brown rice on Grains | 2–10 supplied cups | This model is listed as non-pressure |
| Cuckoo CRP-LHTAR0609F CRP-LHTAR0609F (US white FW / black FB) | White in non-pressure Open Cooking | At least 1 supplied cup; upper limit unconfirmed | The cooker also has separate high-pressure methods |
Choose it when: The exact ARC-1230 family manual documents Brown rice on Grains at two to ten supplied cups, and the product facts identify the cooker as non-pressure.
The limit: The ten-cup range is for Brown rice alone on Grains; its paired steam method is a separate plan with a smaller amount.
Choose it when: The exact LHTAR0609F manual documents a non-pressure White/Open Cooking method in the supplied steel pot, although it does not establish that plan's upper quantity.
The limit: This is a non-pressure method on a pressure-capable cooker; its unknown ceiling cannot be replaced by the high-pressure White range.
Non-pressure cooking can be the only mode of one cooker or one selectable program on a dual-mode model. The method, grain, and amount should be documented together; the overall pressure-capability field does not tell you how a particular menu runs.
The ARC-1230 Brown Grains plan is non-pressure from 2–10 supplied cups. The LHTAR White/Open Cooking plan is non-pressure with a one-cup documented minimum, but its maximum is unknown even though the cooker has separate high-pressure methods.
The ARC-1230 Brown-only range does not apply to its White-with-steam meal, and the LHTAR's pressure White range does not fill the missing ceiling on its non-pressure Open Cooking route. If a quantity boundary matters, choose a method with a complete documented interval.
Not if the selected exact method is documented as non-pressure. The LHTAR0609F illustrates the distinction: it has pressure capability overall and a separate non-pressure White/Open route.
No. For the LHTAR non-pressure White/Open plan, the ceiling remains unconfirmed; the high-pressure White range belongs to a different method and cannot be substituted.
