Product Description
The Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker is so quick, it cooks your white, brown and mixed rice 20 minutes quicker than most other rice cookers when on quick cooking menu. The outer spherical pan provides even heating for perfectly cooked rice every time; the inner portion has a durable nonstick coating so clean up is quick and easy. And to keep your rice warm until you're ready to serve, there's even an extended Keep Warm button. The tight-lock lid and steam cap keeps your rice moist as well. Menu settings include regular, hard, soft and porridge. Also included is a recipe book that includes eight recipes (including some for porridge). Note: Although you can use this cooker to prepare brown rice, an additional step is involved. You must first soak the brown rice in water before cooking, at least four hours or overnight for best results.

Amazon.com Review
The first electric rice cookers seemed miraculous--perfect rice in minutes with a minimum of fuss. Now, happily, the second generation is here. Equipped with a micro-computerized fuzzy logic temperature control system, Zojirushi's new rice cooker not only knows when rice is done, but cooks to different levels of doneness as well. Want softer rice for making croquettes or harder rice for fried rice? No problem. This 10-cup cooker also has controls for brown rice, white rice, porridge, or grits. You can even make one-dish meals like vegetable rice or jambalaya--the recipes are included. Best of all, the cooker keeps rice warm for a long time--up to 8 hours--without drying out. To save time, you can use the Quick Cook option. The nonstick inner cooking pan conveniently lifts out for adding ingredients, and the electric cord is retractable into the base. A large, easy-to-read LCD clock displays the current time as well as the time to completion so you always know when the rice will be done. --Marianne Painter

The best rice cooker ever October 28, 2007
As a professional chef, cooking rice can be a big pain in the butt. I decided to buy one of these to see how well they would work without spending too much money. This cooker is a champ. It has worked flawlessly from day one. I have found that I like my rice a little on the soft side so I usually add a little extra liquid. Try using broth instead of water to cook the rice for a fabulous flavor.
Walk into a Japanese restaurant and you will find this rice cooker in the larger commercial form sitting in almost every restaurant.
They make a smaller and larger version but just like the three bears, this one is just right :)

A Terrific Kitchen Appliance August 29, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Prior to purchasing this rice cooker I had used a rice steamer/cooker with a much smaller capacity. I used it with good results for about 10 years. I am a kitchen gadget/appliance afficionado and love to try new items. A rice cooker of this nature was recommended to me and I did some reasearch before deciding that this was the one!! I have not regretted my decision and my family just loves all of the rice we eat now. I, too, am a fan of Stansel's Rice from Louisiana - it is the only rice that I buy. I would purchase this rice cooker again..............it's great!!

Versatile for soft rices and meals, not for sticky rice October 18, 2004
25 out of 26 found this review helpful

I actually have two of the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy rice cookers, including this 10-cup one (for family size and bulk meals) and the smaller 3-cup for cooking plain white rice for 1-4 people. Like the other reviews, this rice cooker makes long- and medium- grain rices perfectly. This includes arborio, jasmine, etc.

Some caveats to mention that were not in the other reviews:

- While there are many styles of making congee (rice porridge, jook, etc.,) this rice cooker makes the rice expand to soak up the water so that the result is not soupy, but rather has the consistency of say, grits. It doesn't make the rice creamy the way some restaurants do by adding starch. I personally like soupy and creamy styles. This one is somewhere in between.

- I tried cooking sticky rice, which is used in lotus leaf rice (zhong) or "lo mei gei." In order for this to work, the sweet rice grains must be soaked for several hours before cooking. This can be achieved by setting a timed cook, for example, putting the rice and water in the morning to be done cooking by evening. When I attempted to cook the sticky rice straight up without soaking first, I found that the center was still in kernels while the rice sticking to the edge were correctly cooked to a sticky consistency. (Even if you attempt to cycle through two or three times, this isn't going to work.) Also, I don't recommend cooking more than three cups of sticky rice at any given time. (I had tried 6 cups. It was a disastrous mess.)

Perhaps another reviewer can give better tips on cooking sticky rice in these rice cookers other than pre-soaking the rice.

- Last caveat: Keeping the rice pot in warming mode for more than an hour after cooking congee can erode some of the inner pot's non-stick finish on the bottom of the pot, but not much.

Just thought I would add some realities after I've had my rice cooker for two or three years. It really is a great rice cooker and I don't regret having purchased both sizes of them.
