Product Description
The Induction Heating System Rice Cooker & Warmer uses a high-tech Induction Heating (IH) method to heat the inner cooking pan. Because of this heating method, rice cooks exceptionally well. This IH Rice Cooker also features easy-to-clean clear-coated stainless steel exterior, healthy cooking options such as brown rice, GABA BROWN and germinated brown rice settings, and an interchangeable melody and beep signal. GABA BROWN is a way of cooking brown rice to ?activate? it and increase naturally occurring gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid in brown rice believed to have health giving properties such as lowering blood pressure, improving kidney function and relieving stress. The brown rice is ?activated? by soaking the rice at 104F for 2 hours before the actual cooking begins. Other features include automatic keep warm, extra large LCD display for Clock and Timer functions and detachable inner lid.

Capacity - 5.5 cups / 1.0 liter Dimensions (W x D x H) - 9-13/16 x 14-3/16 x 7-15/16 inches Electric Rating - 120 volts / 1,230 watts Stainless Steel

5 out of 5 stars Great Rice Cooker   August 5, 2008

I needed a replacement for my old rice cooker, and this is a perfect replacement.

Well it really does cook the rice so that it is nice! How could I live w/out the extended warming feature before? I have no idea. No more dried up rice.

We've had this rice cooker for a couple of months and absolutely love it. Most of the time, I cook brown basmati rice on the GABA brown setting. It's easy to prepare a cup of rice in the morning before I go to work and so satisfying to have the best brown rice when we get home. I've also cooked steel cut oats using the porridge setting (fabulous results, even better than cooking it in the slow cooker) and quinoa using the quick cooking setting. I love that I don't have to watch the pot, wait for water to boil or clean up any boilovers.


5 out of 5 stars Pricy, But Completely Worth It!   July 5, 2008

I've been using the Zojirushi HBC10 fuzzy logic induction rice cooker for about a month and half now, and love, love, LOVE it! It makes the absolute best rice I've ever had. I especially love the porridge feature and have been making lots of jook. Although the instructions say you can't make jook out of brown rice, I've found that I can if I'm willing to put extra time into it. I run one porridge cycle, let it cool for 15 minutes (you can't start a new cycle while the bowl is hot), and than run the porridge cycle again. My favorite jook is made with Forbidden Rice (made by Lotus foods) with chicken broth, and chopped up apple chicken sausage added in the last 20 minutes or so. Yum!

I originally ordered the less expensive Zojirushi NS TGC10 model. When I recieved it, I was dismayed to see that the detachable inner lid was made of aluminum! It's my understanding that it's very unhealthy to cook foods in direct contact with aluminum. I called the seller who told me that all of the Chinese-made fuzzy logic models are made this way. I returned that model and bought the induction model instead which has a stainless steel detachable inner lid. As a long term cooking and health investment, I feel it's worth every penny that I paid. I wish the bowl was made out of stainless steel rather than non-stick, but I can live with that.


5 out of 5 stars Makes the best brown rice I've ever had plus steel cut oatmeal.   July 2, 2008

I lived in Japan and can tell you that the Japanese are rice fanatics. They are also "gizmo" fanatics. Well, those two combinations create this most unbelievable kitchen appliance.

We use it for Brown (Gaba Setting) rice, I never liked Brown rice before, I liked traditional Japanese White Rice. Brown always tasted bitter. Gaba is a very complicated method of cooking rice and you could never do it without a timer, the induction system helps too since it can regulate the temperature on the rice much more accurately. This thing also has some kind of logic chip that controls the cooking. The brown rice comes out sweet and a little "nutty". The rice kernels kind of "pop" in your mouth when you bite .

Also, Steel Cut Oatmeal, no problem. I purchased a smaller Zojirushi without logic and no induction. It made a mess (I live at 6,000 feet, that could be a factor).

This one makes steel cut perfectly, no mess, beautiful oatmeal. Mix ratio: 1 part oatmeal to 3 parts water. Use the porridge setting. I can't imagine going back to quaker rolled oats.

Awesome piece of engineering.
