I've had this rice cooker for about a week now and I must say that I'm fairly pleased with my purchase. As with most, I was hesitant based on the price tag, but when it comes to making rice, this bad boy is top notch.
I've made a couple of batches with some cheap long grain rice and both times the rice came out perfect. The first batch was with the normal setting and the cooked batch was nice and fluffy. The rice was not mushy or hard, all the kernels/grains were very distinct and separate. The second batch was with the softer setting and sure enough, it came out a little moister and softer than the first batch.
I went out and purchased some nicer Japanese short grain rice yesterday and again, the rice was done perfectly. I actually prefer this type of rice (a little sticky) for general purposes, and I was really surprised how well it came out. I meant to turn off the rice cooker last night, but when I left the house this morning, I realized that I had left it on over night. The indicator stated that the rice had been warming for 14 hours. When I turned it off, I peaked inside to see what the rice looked like and it still looked pretty good, just slightly dry. My old rice cooker would have turned that into a big brown mess already.
I have yet to try brown rice, but I will be soon. For now, I'm glad I bought this cooker. I was considering the Sanyo ECJ-D55S one instead, which is closer to $100 dollars. The reviews say that those two are pretty much the same in terms of quality, the consensus being that they are both 1/2 interchangeably, but I opted for the Zojirushi one instead since I already have a Zojirushi airpot. Plus, if I'm going to spend that much on a rice cooker, I would hate to buy the Sanyo for a little less and wonder if I cheaped out and didn't get the better one.
That said, today's price for the cooker is $200! I paid over $30 less for mine last week! If you are planning on buying this cooker, check out your local asian supermarket instead. The 99 Ranch in the Bay Area sells this for $140, but of course, you have to factor in tax.Get more detail about Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer, Premium White.
