Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Decorated with delicately drawn and colored flowers, this 700-watt appliance cooks up to 10 cups of rice and then automatically keeps the rice at the proper temperature for up to 12 hours. A locking lid ensures rice stays fresh and moist. Lights indicate whether the unit is in "cook" or "warm" mode, and turning on the cooker requires nothing more than pushing a lever. A nonstick coating on the cooking pan prevents rice from sticking, and the pan can be lifted out of the unit for cleanup. To eliminate clutter on the counter or in storage the power cord retracts under the unit. The cooker measures 12-1/8 inches in diameter and 12-7/8 inches high, and comes with a spatula, spatula holder, and measuring cup. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars The floral print is key, August 25, 2003

By	C. Han "churl" (East Lansing, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zojirushi NSRNC-18A Automatic Rice Cooker and Warmer with Floral Imprint (Kitchen)

Growing up in an Asian family, we weren't about to mess around with cheap crumby rice cookers. The Zojirushi 10 cups through the years have kept me well fed for 25 years. If you treat it well (i.e. no metal on the nonstick), they'll last forever. If you don't eat rice every day or don't have a large family, this unit might be overkill. You may think about a 4 or 5 cup. You can, of course, buy this one too. My mom owns 3 rice cookers. If you ever go to an Asian food market, you'll see that practically every rice cooker comes in floral print. I don't trust a rice cooker without flowers on the side. =)

PRO:
Easy perfect rice every time
Can feed a small army
Comes with everything except rice and water
Will last forever with a little care
Floral print

CON:
Not for people living alone
You need to know how to make rice
Kinda pricy, but worth it if you eat a lot of rice

5.0 out of 5 stars Good rice every time., March 26, 2002

By	John Tilelli MD "Bookaholic" (Apopka, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zojirushi NSRNC-18A Automatic Rice Cooker and Warmer with Floral Imprint (Kitchen)

It is surprising how much rice my family uses. When I leave work and pick up the kids, I am already scheming to find a way to put a meal on the table in 15 minutes. Rice is a pretty versatile choice, so it finds its way to the menu two or three times a week. Make a little sushi on Saturday, and suddenly one is going through five pounds or so a month. Sad to say, though, it requires a bit of attention. Get distracted by the chicken, and, oops, there goes the side dish! Comes Zojirushi to the rescue with foolproof rice. Rinse a couple of cups of rice, add water, and push one button. Minutes later, the rice is ready with the dinner. The texture is good, and the machine keeps the rice warm without burning it. Two cups or ten cups cook up equally well. Cleanup is a sanp, as the bowl slides out easily. A handy self-retreacting cord keeps it compact when I put it away later. One caution: keep the kids away from the vent while it is on, lest they are burned by the steam. I keep my ricemaker handy on the shelf, next to my bread machine, also a Zojirushi. The two of them are my favorite, and most often used, kitchen time-savers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only option!, May 29, 2003

By	Janey Lee "hanee" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zojirushi NSRNC-18A Automatic Rice Cooker and Warmer with Floral Imprint (Kitchen)

My mother has been using hers for 20 years. I own this rice cooker and its the only one I would ever buy. Its good for korean style short grain rice which is really sticky. Western style long grain rice works well too. Once I made a paella in it and it was not bad! You can also add pre-soaked beans to your rice.

I think the new "fuzzy logic" models are not worthwhile. I just want to put in the rice and cook it!

There is only one button, so its easy to use. Use the measuring cup that comes with it and then add water up to the corresponding line on the inside of the bowl. For instance, for 3 cups of rice, put water up to the 3 cup line. I prefer moister rice so I add more water, like a 1/2 measure more. The chinese method of adding water to the first knuckle of your finger works too.

Another tip, this is an awesome non stick bowl, but it scrathes really easily. NEVER EVER, put a fork or even a spoon in it. Use the spatula that comes with it. Also never scrub it, wash with a little soap and soft sponge. I mean it, never scrub or you will ruin it right away.

I agree with the other reviewer, its all about the retractable power cord. Why dont all appliances have this?
