Superb once you understand how it functions.
An update: We used this to prepare some wild rice. There is no setting for wild rice, but experience has shown that the brown rice setting works well on rice cookers. We soaked the rice for half an hour, drained it, then cooked it on the brown rice setting with a proportion of 2 cups water per cup of dry wild rice.The results were astounding. I have never had wild rice so delicious. It was sweet and floral rather than bitter and earthy, which I thought was how wild rice normally is.It must be the induction heating that makes such an enormous difference.I usually cut wild rice with an equal amount of white rice to temper the flavour, but that seems unnecessary now. Of course it still saves money to do so.I look forward to using the other functions of this amazing machine.Original Review:I found the instructions to be a bit inadequate. I understand that because this is a very complicated machine, a comprehensive instruction booklet would be a bit intimidating. Perhaps one could be provided online?Having said that, the machine is extraordinarily good. I have had several rice cookers in the past, including a really good Panasonic “fuzzy logic” machine that I had been using for about 10 years. It produced excellent rice, even brown and wild varieties.I think most rice cookers work by sensing when the water has been completely absorbed, at which point, the temperature of the contents starts to rise above 212°F (100°C). Then the machine shuts off. How could that possibly be improved upon?This one seems to work in a more complex fashion. There’s obviously more going on than just sensing temperature changes.Ordinary rice cookers heat from below the cooking vessel , which increases the risk of scorching, especially on the “keep warm” setting. This one has an induction system that seems to heat from all sides as well.As a result, the cooker emits almost no steam during cooking, and stays remarkably clean inside and out.I actually haven’t tried cooking rice in it because what really attracted me was its “Steel-cut Oats” setting.I love oatmeal, but it’s actually something of a challenge to cook well. I have used rice cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, microwaves and just plain boiling on the stovetop. I have never been able to get the results just as I want them, at least not easily.Until now! All instructions for cooking steel-cut oats are wrong, including those on the oatmeal packaging. Following them produces terrible oatmeal. Through much trial and error, I have found that one cup of dry oats requires 4 cups of water, and a cooking time several times longer than the instructions indicate.Even this wonderful machine has instructions that don’t work for steel-cut oatmeal. However, by adding the amount of water I have learned to use, and running the oatmeal through two complete “Steel-cut Oatmeal” cycles, stirring in between, the results are the best I’ve ever enjoyed.I think it’s the way the heat is applied that makes all the difference.Another quirk that takes getting used to is that the timer function is not a countdown. It’s more like an alarm clock. It’s very counterintuitive, but once understood, serves well.In summary: a fabulous kitchen appliance (also very attractive looking) that is idiosyncratic but well worth the effort to understand its quirks.

I used to have a Breville “Risotto & More” Cooker that I rarely. used because the rice always scorched on the bottom. I did a lot of research and found that this Zojirushi IH Rice Cooker was highly rated and even though it isn’t cheap I wanted to try it. I already have a Zojirushi Bread Maker that I am crazy about, so I anticipated that this would be of the same quality and i was absolutely right. It is very easy to use, the Menu Pad on top is very easy to read and cleanup is a breeze. I have an Induction Range that I love, so i was particularly searching for an Induction Heating (IH) Rice Cooker. I am very glad that I picked this one because the rice comes out perfect every time.Additionally, we were never Brown Rice fans, but we ARE NOW! Our favorite is the GABA Rice (sprouted rice) option. It is even better than white or sushi rice.NOTES/COMMENTS:GABA Rice – If you buy “GABA Rice” you do NOT use the GABA Rice Setting, instead cook it on the “white rice” setting because packaged GABA rice is already sprouted and ready to go which saves A LOT of time and it turns out great. I learned this the hard way!If you want to make your own GABA Rice then buy regular “brown rice” and use the “GABA Rice” setting on the Zojirushi…but be aware that it takes about 3.5 hours to do this setting.SIZE – It is just 2 of us, but I also cook for our 2 dogs and use brown rice. On those days that I need enough for 4 of us, or if we have company, this one is “almost” too small. So….I also invested in the Zojirushi IH/Pressure Rice Cooker. in the LARGE 1.8l capacity….very glad I have both because now I have options based on how much rice I need at any given time.RICE WASHING BOWL: Invest the $8-10 in a Rice Washing Bowl…it is so much easier than using a pot or bowl to wash your rice because it has conveniently located drain holes and you don’t lose your rice all over in your sink.COOKBOOK: There is NO Cookbook in the box with this Rice Cooker which was very disappointing, and those cookbooks that I have found so far that are labeled as “Zojirushi” really aren’t what they say they are.. But, I’ve found several websites that are very helpful to reference for things like types of rice, soy, recipes, etc.Upshot is we LOVE this rice cooker and either use it or it’s bigger brother daily.

I’ve been using this rice cooker for about a month now. I was using a cheap $20 rice cooker from target before this and the difference is noticeable. This is like the kitchen aid of rice cookers. The quality is a huge step up coming from a cheap lever cooker. The inner cooking pan is heavy and solid. The buttons are tactile and it even plays nice melodies when it starts and finishes, Overall it’s easy to use. There are many settings, I especially like the GABA brown, quinoa, and Jasmine settings as those are the most used in my household. It has cooked perfect grains every time, no more “I hope it turns out okay” moments. I bought the smaller 5.5 cup version and it’s plenty for the two of us. It doesn’t take up too much room on the counter and looks nice enough to leave out, though I tend to put mine away. If there is one thing to say about this cooker is that the top will scratch easily if a rough towel is used. I recommend using a set of microfiber cloths to wipe the cooker. Great cooker if you want a “buy it for life” rice cooker. Zojirushi cookers will last generations if taken care of properly.
