Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Easily master a favorite side dish with the deluxe rice cooker and warmer. With this cooker, rice preparation is as simple as reading the internal markings for water level versus the rice amount. The automatic keep-warm system switches on immediately after cooking is finished, and the Sumiflon pan prevents rice from sticking to the pan for an easy cleanup. It also keeps rice warm and fresh for up to 12 hours after cooking and comes with a 180 cc measuring cup and a plastic spatula for dishing rice, as well as a retractable cord for easy storage. --Madeleine Miller

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for those who love rice...., May 15, 2000

I own this size and the much larger 10c version of this cooker. The cooker works very well with long grain varieties such as Jasmine and does very well with Japanese rice. However, for basmati one should work with this one a bit to get the right consistancy while brown rice can prove a little difficult. I found that the pressure cooker worked better for short grain brown than this cooker.

For most households this cooker is great. It is pretty goof proof and the interior is teflon coated so the problem issues of the old aluminium models leaching into the rice is now over.

One should consider that to cook proper Japanese rice that the rice must be soaked before cooking while Jasmine/long grain do not. But those are considerations of the cook and are not the fault of the cooker.

I recommend this for both house and college dorm. It is easy to maintain and the warming function is reliable. Though it is more expensive than other brands you will get ALOT of use from it and it is sturdy as can be. If you plan to eat rice a great deal this model is fine. If you are only planning to eat rice only occasionally than maybe a cheaper model will do. This line also comes in floral patterns for those who want something different from the plain white.

I cannot stress enough that no matter what model or brand one of rice cooker to be bought one should be sure that the interior is either teflon or stainless steel. Taking aside the contention that aluminium and Alzheimer's connection I will argue that it makes the flavor of the rice slightly off and also your pans will wear out more quickly if you keeping losing an aluminum layer each time you clean.

Highly recommended for home and gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Literally can't live without it, January 21, 2002

This review is from: Zojirushi NRC-10W Deluxe 5-Cup Rice Cooker & Warmer (Kitchen)

Being vegan, I eat a lot of rice. This rice cooker has made making rice a joy, and I usually make a combination of white and brown short grain rice- as long as I measure correctly and fill the water up to the line as it says in the instructions, they both come out perfectly, every time. I've steamed some veggies and made some congee, and no surprises, just great yummy food. But, I did get tired of having to yank the cord out whenever I turned it off, so I got a 1.00$ part at the hardware store so I can just flip a toggle switch instead. It keeps rice warm for days, so I only need to turn it off after I have cleaned it and there is no rice to be cooked. I wouldn't use another rice cooker if you paid me! I love it.

I just got this for my Birthday & can't stop using it! Jasmine & Basmati work great. We had no burnt or crispy rice. I'd say, follow the directions & you'll have no problems! :-)
