MAKE EVERY RICE TYPE IMAGINABLE WITH A ZOJIRUSHI RICE COOKER
BROWN RICE
This is a menu setting designed to cook delicious brown rice. In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy.

SUSHI RICE
Because sushi rice will be processed after it's cooked, it's easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very similar to regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish.

MIXED
Mixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings. This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over.

PORRIDGE
Instead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture.

STEAM
Steam your favorite foods. Steaming function can be lengthened or shortened by adjusting time setting.

MICOM (MICROCOMPUTER) TECHNOLOGY
Aided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from “occasional” to “serious”. Basically, the microchip does all the thinking for you, as far as adjusting cooking times and temperatures according to the type of rice you are cooking, and timing the pre-soaking of the raw grains and the final “wait” .

MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into their daily diet.

HOW IT WORKS
Conventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The “fuzzy logic” of MICOM fine tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all has different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan’s weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.

KEY FEATURES:
Convenient detachable inner lid
for easy cleaning.
Stay-cool side handles make removal of the inner cooking pan quick and easy.
Spherical inner cooking pan provides even heating for better cooker.

America's Test Kitchen

This rice cooker consistently produced excellent rice in both small and large batches. The water measurement markings on the cooking bowl, which are clearly labeled in white writing, were easy to read. The machine played a song both when it started cooking and when it switched to the “keep warm” setting. A timer counted down the final minutes of cooking. Plus, the handles on its cooking bowl protected our hands from heat. This model’s menu was simple enough, though we had to refer to the manufacturer’s booklet when picking the setting for long-grain white rice (it cooks on the mixed-rice setting, not white rice setting, which wasn’t obvious at first). It kept rice at a food-safe temperature for 12 hours, a helpful perk for people who like to enjoy rice at multiple times throughout the day. We also tested the larger version of this model, Zojirushi 10-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer, which makes from 2 to 20 cups of cooked rice; it performed as well as our winner.

"I was a rice-cooker skeptic for years; I preferred stovetop rice that relied on a perfectly precise ratio of water to grains and was entirely dependent on my stovetop’s simmer ability. Carolyn Grillo reviewed our winning rice cooker, which takes the guesswork out of preparing this surprisingly finicky staple, with clear indicator lines for water levels and a keep-warm function that will hold temperature for hours. It even sings to you when it’s done cooking! I’ll never go back to stovetop rice." - Chase Brightwell, Assistant Editor, ATK Reviews

"When I brought this home, my husband said, 'We don't need a rice cooker.' He changed his tune pretty fast, and now he even has cute nicknames for “his” rice cooker. We use it three or four times a week, and have done so for years. It makes perfect sushi rice, brown rice, and long-grain white rice with the push of a button; never, ever scorches; and holds the cooked rice at a steamy, food-safe temperature for hours until you're ready for it. And, if you need one more reason to get it: It's simple to clean." -LM

 The spatula holder is not easily removable without damage (because it has plastic hooks that allow it to slide in one direction) and I broke mine when I yanked it out for cleaning. But not worth the cost of replacement. How do the parts prices compare to those for, say, Instant Pot? And expensive cooking equipment really should have replacement parts available for parts that wear out. I would not buy from a company that did not offer that

 You can buy a normal (non-fuzzy) rice cooker for under $20! And many nice fancier than bare-bones cookers for under the price of a replacement bowl (the bowls are very nice, though, and high quality). An inner lid replacement (which you may need if the gasket is damaged) is ~$22-28. The tiny spatula holder, which seems like it is worth under a dollar, is nearly $5, though to be fair, all prices on their site include shipping. Plus at least you have the option to order replacements

) Also, my 3-cup model has nice metal parts on the outside, and this one is all plastic, although nice smooth high-quality plastic. And the lid-opening button is nicer and possibly sturdier on the Chinese-made models. But the thing I like the most about my 3-cup one over this model is the steam vent. I think it is an advancement over this older model

 How do the parts prices compare to those for, say, Instant Pot? And expensive cooking equipment really should have replacement parts available for parts that wear out. I would not buy from a company that did not offer that. But the prices are totally unreasonable for the Zoji parts. So as with the battery, this is very consumer-hostile and for this reason I seriously considered shopping for another brand

Great for people who like many rice varieties

The rice from this cooker is delicious and the process was very simple after discovering that long-grain rice, which is what I eat, is the exception rather than the rule for this cooker. On the Quick Start Guide, a single sheet added to the enclosed paperwork, (and not anywhere in the manual that I could find) it states that the cooker is designed for short and medium grain rice. The Quick Start Guide says that long-grain rice should be cooked using the Mixed rice setting. Fine, except that in the smaller print of the operating manual it says that the Timer function, which I'd like to use, is not available for Mixed rice

First impressions

The rice it makes is about the same as rice in some cheaper rice cookers.

 Dislike how long it takes to cook, although I expected that it would take longer than using a pot on the stovetop. It is hard to time dinner if the rice is not premade, as the timer does not begin until there is only around 13 minutes left of cooking. Until then you are in the dark for how long the rice will take. Maybe this is because the time will adjust to how quickly the rice is cooking

Great rice!

 You just have to get used to it and start cooking rice 40 minutes before you want to eat.

 I have the one that’s made in Japan. It makes really great white rice but it takes about 40-45 minutes to cook. The timer is pretty much useless. It only comes on when there is 11 minutes left

It takes a long time to cook rice

 The rice has been cooked perfectly the dozen or so times we've used it. The only drawback is that the cooking time is notably longer than our previous unit.

Great, compact rice cooker

 It is purely a matter of personal tase, but I much prefer my long grain parboiled rice over this Jasmine rice, at least for the types of meals I usually make, e.g. soups, creoles, seafood gumbo, as a side to veggie burgers, etc. I just think the long grain parboiled rice is the most satisfying

Life Can Be Good (Sometimes)

 I wash my rice by putting it into a tall plasticware container with a snap-on lid with some water and shaking it. I put in water, shake, drain off the water through a sane and repeat until the water runs clear. This is important because if the rice isn't washed thoroughly the bran powder will act as an emollient, which will mess up the chemical balance when other ingredients are added and could cause the cooker to boil over.  I should note here that I've been washing and cooking rice the Japanese traditional way for years, so it's a bit of a ritual for me

 Rice cookers are labelled with water levels that assume a Japanese cup. If you use an American cup your rice will not cook properly and your cooker may boil over.  First I wash the rice. I don't just give it a quick rinse, I wash it thoroughly

 I intentionally use frozen chicken and vegetables rather than thawing them because they will keep cool in the closed rice cooker overnight without spoiling.  Here's how to put it all together:  When measuring your rice, always use a Japanese rice measuring cup (unless the instructions with your rice cooker indicate otherwise), not an American one. Rice cookers are labelled with water levels that assume a Japanese cup. If you use an American cup your rice will not cook properly and your cooker may boil over

Automated breakfast made easy

 Do all your cleanup as it says in the manual...don't use ANYTHING abrasive or metal! No metal utensils, no scrub sponges, no abrasive cleansers

.don't use ANYTHING abrasive or metal! No metal utensils, no scrub sponges, no abrasive cleansers. Did I mention, follow the instructions?  Highly, highly, highly recommended.
