5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Rice Cooker October 15, 2006

By Marco V. Gutierrez

Amazon Verified Purchase

Excellent rice cooker. So far, I've used it for white and brown rice with and without the automatic timer and it works great. I'll use it for shushi next week. With the automatic timer feature you set up the machine and then tell the rice cooker the time of day when you want your rice to be ready. After that time it switches automatically into 'keep warm' mode so your rice is ready to eat in case you're delayed. This is one of the main reasons I bought this specific model.

A few things to note so you can make a more informed purchase.

1- Cup size is different. I guess a japanese cup is different than those used in the US. Therefore, 10 cups in this case actually translates to 7.5 US-sized cups of rice.

2- Cooking time is longer than 'normal'. I included the estimates for some types of rice straight from the manual. The zojirushi website also has estimates.

a- Quick cooking (only white rice): 35-45 min

b- White Rice: 51-60 min

c- Sushi rice: 47-58 mn

d- Brown rice: 82-108

3- The minimum amount of rice you can make with the 10 cup model is 1 cup except for sweet, mixed, and brown rice where the minimum is 2 cups. Mixed rice is one where you ad a few other ingredients that will cook together with the rice 9eg. soup stock, soy sauce). For the 5 cup the minimum you can make is 1 cup for all types of rice except porridge where you can make 0.5 cups. Again, these are the smaller cup sizes.

4- For those with small kitchens, the 10 cup machine has the following dims (WxDxH in inches): 11x14.2x9.4. The 5 cup is 10x13x8.1

Enjoy perfect rice every time. Spend your time preparing other parts of your meal.

5.0 out of 5 stars who knew? May 15, 2007

By Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

I've made rice all my life. I learned from my first cook book -- Julia Child.

But a few years ago, I moved to a new climate area and it's been hit and miss ever since. I made pots of rice turned to mush and pots of rice so hard and uncooked they were inedible.

In desparation, I read all the descriptions, online reviews, evaluations by "America's Test Kitchen" -- all the resources I could find -- and this 10-cup Neuro Fuzzy seemed to offer the most consistant results to people and testers.

And you know what? They were right.

Every pot of rice since I got this machine over 6 months ago has been perfect. Also perfect with broccoli added on top of the rice in the last 10 minutes. Also perfect in the "mixed" mode with chopped veggies added with the rice and water. Also perfect for rice pudding. Also perfect for breakfast hot cereal.

And the "keep warm" function is sooooooo useful when people are in and out at meal time -- or when folks are sitting up late working and need a second helping of something warm and good.

who knew? Not me. Now I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Rice Cooker May 18, 2007

By Carolle

I have had the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy 10 cup rice cooker for about two months now. I am still somewhat amazed at the cost of this rice cooker and the fact that I paid that much for it. But I must admit that this rice cooker was worth every penny that I paid for it. I took about 2 months to choose a rice cooker because I was kinda tired of cleaning seared rice water off the stove. The ease of use for this is great you rinse your rice add it to the rice cooker add water to the appropriate line, shut the lid hit the button, listen to the tune wait for the next tune and you will have the greatest rice ever. It makes all kinds of rice as well as steel cut oats. I use it for making the boxed flavored rice as well. I bought this mostly for what it is intended (making rice) but have read about many other uses for it. It has a programmable timer so your breakfast or dinner will be ready when you want. Then it switches to keep warm mode if your not ready when it is and extended keep warm if your really late. There are setting for white, reg/sushi, harder, quick cooking, mixed, porridge, sweet, semibrown, and brown. I have only used the white rice, mixed, porridge and brown and all have come out excellent. Its cute too and made in Japan which is another plus. It comes with two measuring cups white for most rice and green for pre-washed. The cooking pot seems real durable and nothing sticks to it. The little white server also looks durable and cleans in a snap. The inner lid is removable and cleaning it is also a breeze. It has a carrying handle so it quite mobile. It keeps time in military mode and the LCD display is large and easy to read. Another plus is the retractable cord when your done with it retract the cord and storage is simple.
