I spent time in the 1980's and 1990's as a chef, so I was quite adept and skilled at cooking rice, but I was intrigued with the concept of a rice cooker, and a friend convinced me to take the plunge.
Why oh why did I not buy one of these sooner?
First, it is just me and my wife, so I didn't need a big cooker, this 3 cup cooker is perfect for our meals for 2. It is practically foolproof to use, the instructions are simple. I bought a rice rinser bowl (makes it much easier to properly pre-rinse the rice) as well. This was not a must have, but a good nice-to-have.
I have used this probably a dozen times, and it is idiot proof. Use the measure (note: since this is a Japanese company, a "cup" is 180 ml, or a little over 6 oz.), rinse the rice until it runs clear, pour it into the cooking pot, add water to the corresponding index line on the pot, and turn it on. In 20 - 30 minutes, it will be done.
How it works is that when you cook rice, the indicator of "done"-ness is when all the water is either absorbed into the rice or evaporated off, and the temperature goes above the boiling point. A simple temperature sensor detects when the temperature goes above 212F, and voilá it's done.
It is well built, simple to use, easy to keep clean, and it turns out consistent rice, batch to batch to batch. A bargain!

Why Should I Use A Rice Cooker To Cook Rice?
The rice cooker is an efficient and time-saving kitchen appliance that cooks perfect rice every time. Many people have difficulty cooking rice on the stove because the burner cannot be turned down to a low enough simmer for the steaming portion of cooking rice. The result is rice that is scorched or burned. With a Zojirushi rice cooker, rice will be fluffy and delicious. Plus, you won’t have to stand over the stove while it cooks. Just set it and leave. All Zojirushi rice cookers have durable nonstick inner cooking pans for quick and easy cleaning.
How Is Rice Measured? What Does The Capacity Mean?
Every Zojirushi rice cooker comes with a plastic measuring cup. This cup has a capacity of 6-ounces, or about 3/4 of a U.S. measuring cup. The capacity of the rice cooker is counted in these 6-ounce cups of uncooked rice. One 6-ounce cup of raw rice makes about 3, 6-ounce cups of cooked rice. Do not confuse the rice cooker measuring cup with U.S. measuring cups; they are different. All Zojirushi rice cookers come with a special measuring cup and nonstick rice spatula for serving. The capacity of a rice cooker is stated in the numbers of 6-ounce cups of raw rice.

Not really good for more than one cup of brown rice
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022
I decided to buy this because I really suck at making brown rice. White rice, any variety, I'm a champ. But I decided I wanted to get more fiber and eat healthier and thought eating more brown rice sounded like a good idea, but cooking it on the stove, I've had mixed luck. When you're cooking something for almost an hour on the stove, there are a lot of variables that can mess up your "cook this for X minutes" recipe.I bought this because I wanted something small and relatively inexpensive and importantly, foolproof. I did some research on how rice cookers work. Basically, they boil at water at 100 C/212 F and then wait for the water to evaporate enough to get past that temperature. Once it's just barely past boiling (which it won't get until enough of the water is absorbed/evaporated), then the rice, in theory, should be done.The first batch of white rice I made, I did the exact measurements in the manual for 1 cup of dry rice. I used Jasmine. It was honestly perfect. Better than any stove rice I've managed to make, which surprised me, because I thought white rice on the stove was pretty easy/foolproof.Today, I decided to try brown rice. Since it's not just a trial run, I'm actually making food for my family, I decided to do 2 cups of brown rice, and the water the booklet called for (0.4 L, I think the instructions said). Because the book didn't do a great job of explaining whether you put the water in up to the level on the bowl first, I went and looked at the Zojirushi website where it said to put the water in, then the rinsed rice. So I did just that. Everything looked good and I turned the machine on. After about 10 minutes, so much water and steam started coming out of the machine, I had to put a paper towel on top so that my counter wouldn't get all covered in water. When that got soaked after a couple of minutes, I did another. When that got soaked, I had to pull out a shamwow style of towel and a sponge to catch any overflow. (Picture shown after I pulled the towel off so you can see the steam/water coming out). After about 10 minutes of that, the water boiling subsided to just enough that the towel and sponge were no longer needed.Hoping the rice is worth the trouble! In the future, if you eat more than a few servings of rice in your family, you might want to get a slightly larger rice cooker. Since it's just me, my husband, and my son, we really don't need the full two dry cups (to whatever cooked amount that creates...6 cups?), so I think we'll be fine just doing the one dry cup. Hopefully this helps someone!
