I got this machine after years with a cheap slow-cooker rice cooker. After a while, I got very fed up with the way it would always burn some of the rice, and did research.
This machine cooks rice perfectly every time. First, by adjusting the time and temperature, and second through the cups and the lines inside the pan which ensure one always adds the right amount of rice and water. The lines tell you how much water to add for different types of rice. There's even a setting for pre-washed rice. It also comes with directions for cooking rice, which has been invaluable.
For the first time at home, I made sweet rice. Sweet rice is a special kind of rice with a round chalk-white grain. It's very sticky and smells like honey when it is cooking. It's very delicious, but extremely hard to cook over the stove, as it normally must be steamed rather than boiled. It's also used to in making mochi. The directions in the Zojirushi manual say to use a traditional bamboo basket to drain this rice after washing, but a towel laid over a strainer works just as well.
I've also made oatmeal with my Zojirushi. One can put the ingredients in and set the timer to start an hour before one rises. It can also handle rice mixed with vegetables and fish.
The Zojirushi is very easy to clean. The residual left by the rice simply slides off the non-stick pan. The inner top lid can also be removed and cleaned.
The only disadvantage would be that it takes a lot longer to cook rice in this machine. However, with the automatic timer, how well it keeps the rice warm and moist after it's done, and how much better it tastes, this does not bother me.
This model is also one which is made in Japan rather than China.Get more detail about Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer, Premium White.
