Took rice from an occasional treat to whenever we want it!
By Homeowner
I have had several of the cheaper on/off rice cookers. They worked ok for white rice, but anything else - forget it. Even with white rice, the bottom consistently got crusty and brown. The stay warm features on those types of cookers have a tendency to run too hot, thus scalding the bottom layer.Now I have a Zojirushi! I rinse some rice in the morning throw it in the Zoji, throw in a little butter and sea salt, set the timer and I am done! Any type of rice! I have cooked Jasmine, Basmati, Brown, Wild, Sticky, and various blends - all of them PERFECT every time.My mom taught me the secret to better rice is to let it soak (especially sticky) before you cook it. This is made so easy because once you've added the rice and set the timer, it soaks all day.I love that you set the timer for when you want the rice to BE READY, not when you want it to start cooking. That way, I can time the rice perfectly to coincide with dinner - brilliant!The ONLY CON: Is that the display battery (used to power the clock when the unit is unplugged) is soldered onto the circuit board. So, unless you are a big do-it-yourselfer and want to crack open your Zoji, you will have to send it to a service center for a new battery. I think this is a very unfortunate characteristic. How difficult would it have been to put the battery in a regular compartment on the side or underneath? Such as you see for a radio, alarm clock or toy. The battery would be easily accessable and replacable by the owner. Hence 4 stars, not 5.

Rice Lover
By Smartshopper
Excellent choice! I've purchased several rice cookers in the past. The last one I had was a Tiger Brand which I was very disappointed with. This by far was the best rice cooker I've ever had. We cook rice everyday and although it takes a little longer than the other brands I've used, the rice comes out "PERFECT" each time and does not get spoiled easily. One of the best feature is that you can actually see the measurement inside the pot.The pot in itself is heavy duty.It's a little pricy but you get what you pay for and this Zojirushi is definitelyworth the money. It also has two different tunes when you initially press the cooking button and after it's done...very cute! We all love it and will definitely recommend to anyone.

**UPDATE** I've had this rice cooker and "The Ultimate Rice Cooker Book" for 2 years now and I use my Zojirushi 10-cup Micom Rice Cooker all of the time. It's the best! There is an Arborio Rice Pudding recipe in the book that I am known for in all of my social circles. This rice cooker (and book) were a great investment. I'm so happy and highly recommend it. Go get one!My husband and I only had rice at restaurants or at dinner parties but very rarely at home. A nurse who ran a weight loss program told me that rice cookers steam rice in a healthier way then when you boil it on the stove top or in the microwave. You could eat healthier and better tasting rice at home with a good rice cooker.We wanted a Zojirushi for their reputation and a versatile model with more features was ideal. The price difference between a 5 cup and 10 cup rice cooker is less than a $20 so buying the 10-cup is a no-brainer. With a 2-cup minimum it's no problem with their stay warm feature that will keep your rice perfectly fresh all day and night. Use your leftover rice to make porridge the next day it is delicious! Also a 10-cup is good for entertaining! The Zojirushi NS-TGC18 model is one of 2 rice cooker models with a cake baking option. Not having to turn my oven on to bake a cake in the summer is attractive.The cord on this model coils into the base when not in use with a simple tug of the plug. Very convenient! Just spray the non stick cooking bowl with Pam for easy clean up. The water lines printed on the inside of the pan makes adding water fool proof. The rice cooker plays twinkle twinkle little star when cooking begins. A countdown will begin when you have 15 minutes left and a tune plays when the rice is ready. Then you just use the provided rice paddle to fluff the rice. It will automatically switch to keep warm so you can prepare other dishes if your rice is just a side dish. Then whenever you're ready for rice it will be perfect.Be sure to get "The Ultimate Rice Cooker Book". It's an education in your favorite rice that you haven't enjoyed yet. It has hundreds of recipes that you can use for a "fuzzy logic" model like this one that includes simple rice cooking, whole meals, oatmeal, porridge, grits, and rice pudding recipes that you will have so much fun making in your Zojirushi. Be sure to go with the rice cooker directions when it comes to your water fill line over the books water instructions (the book will even tell you to go with the rice cooker water measurements). The meals are great! So far "Rice with the Three C's" on page 67 is a regularly enjoyed dish in the house and we have Rice Cooker Paella, Arroz con pollo, and a couple of yummy looking rice pudding recipes on our list next. I highly recommend the Zojirushi NS-TGC18 10-cup and hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
