## Description

There is nothing like hot fluffy rice that has just been cooked; when it's not too mushy or too firm and the natural sweetness of the rice comes through with each bite. Zojirushi rice cookers make it easy to enjoy eating perfectly steamed rice all the time, without the guesswork. When it's as simple as pushing a button, the hardest part is going to be the wait, while our cookers do all the work. All Zojirushi rice cookers are tested to function at an altitude of up to 5,000 feet above sea level

Review: Worth it - This is hands-down the best rice cooker I’ve ever owned. It makes perfect rice every single time—fluffy, evenly cooked, and never soggy or underdone. The machine heats quickly, works quietly, and the different cooking settings are incredibly convenient. I also love how simple it is to use. Just add rice and water, press a button, and it does the rest flawlessly. Cleanup is super easy too, thanks to the nonstick pot. Since getting this rice cooker, I’ve been using it constantly—not just for rice but for quinoa, oats, and even steaming veggies. It’s truly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. If you want a reliable, high-quality rice cooker that delivers perfect results with zero hassle, this is the one. Absolutely worth it!
Review: Great for a single person that loves rice. - Rice is my go-to carb. I have three kinds in my pantry right now. But I HATE leftovers. Most rice cookers either don't easily make small quantities of rice or are so ifficult to clean that they are not worth the effort. I had gotten into the habit of making an average amount of rice and throwing away 2/3 of it after a few days. By the thrid day, that rice is stale Enter the rice cooker... Setup is easy. It ships with a measuring cup. This matches the markings on the inside of the bowl The markings are easy to read. I have made white rice, brown rice, GABA brown rice and a mixture of wild and brown rice. Prep is the same for all. Cooking takes longer than usual. Even white rice takes about an hour. The GABA brown rice can take about 4 hours. Plan ahead. But it is mindless. Select the correct rice from the menu and press start. No need to enter amounts, etc. When done, it sings a song. And holds the rice for quite a while. Alwasy perfect rice. Cleanup is probably the best. The bowl is heavy duty nonstick Let it cool and wash it out. I always hand wash. This is a workhorse appliance I use it about four times a week. It is fun to be able to setup for the rice, forget it, and turn to the rest of the meal. Somewhere along the way, the rice cooker sings it's happy song. And it's time for dinner! It is VERY expensive. I have had cheaper rice cookers before. I am never looking back. I am very happy that I spent the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ longer cooking, but makes superior rice
*by L***. on April 18, 2024*

This is my impression after unboxing and using the rice cooker for the first time. It is simple to use. It took almost an hour cooking jasmine rice... but I knew that and planned by starting the rice early. It has a button to keep rice warm for up to 12 hours. I used that feature keeping the finished rice warm for about 20 minutes. Then I used the reheat button. It spent 9 minutes reheating the rice. I had tasted the rice when it finished cooking and also again after it had been kept warm & was then reheated. It tasted the same to me both times. I followed all the instructions which said to fluff the rice once it has finished cooking. I did that. Then when I was ready to reheat the rice, I sprinkled the top of the rice with about 1 tablespoon of water before closing the lid and pressing the reheat button. The cooker produced rice that had separate grains. It was slightly sticky (I like that) and the rice was more tender than I've ever tasted jasmine before. I asked my son what he thought of the rice from the new cooker and he said "It's a lot softer." I agree, the grains are softer yet keep their shape. We had a small amount of gravy with our rice. I noticed the rice did not soak up any of the gravy even though it was sitting in a puddle of it. This cooker does not make the pot full of little rice sponges I’ve come to know which other rice cookers always produce. A fork full of rice with just a little gravy felt wonderful in my mouth. It's like the gravy was able to coat each grain and didn't disappear into the rice grains. The gravy stayed on the outside of the rice. It was easy to taste both the rice and the gravy separately in my mouth. This helped make for a superior tasting meal. The rice cooled a little slower on my plate than rice made in other rice makers. Once the rice had cooled completely, I thought it still tasted really good. About the taste... it does taste somehow slightly different than the flavor I'm familiar with (for jasmine rice,) but I like this ‘new’ flavor just as much. So far I'm delighted with what this rice cooker can do!
