still waiting for perfect rice May 1, 2008
I've waited to review this product for a while hoping to master "perfect rice" Although this does make pretty good white rice, I actually purchased it to make brown rice. It has yet to present perfect rice. It always browns the bottom rendering that rice inedible. I have experimented with different ratios of rice/water and always rinsed my rice as directions list. I bought this product with the expectations of perfect rice, with a long holding time. If the rice is brown at bottom directly after cooking, how will it be after holding an hour? I made better rice stove top, and will continue to cook it that way.
Does anyone want to buy a cheap rice cooker? LOL

If I wanted to think about cooking rice, I wouldn't have bought a rice cooker April 28, 2008

Cooked brown rice in it according to the special brown rice directions. Spat water all over the counter. Extremely disappointed in this product.

Truly non-stick! April 28, 2008
My last non-Zojirushi rice cooker was supposed to be non-stick, but each time I use it, I end up with so much rice sticking to the base of the inner pan (enough to fill one bowl)!

I've used my new Zojirushi 6-cup rice cooker twice so far... once to cook two cups and the 2nd time to cook one cup of rice. The rice was cooked to perfection each time with not even one grain of rice sticking to the base!

Great rice cooker! April 24, 2008
I've had various rice cookers over the years. There's always been some problem mainly not cooking the rice well. The last one was Faberware which often didn't cook the rice completely so we'd have to recook it. Brown rice was even worse. The new Zojirushi has cooked white and brown rice excellent - perfect every time, just one click. Just make sure you follow the directions for brown rice and put the right ratio rice to water. I highly recommend this one.

Skip This One. April 14, 2008

The good: the non-stick surface works great and is easy to clean.

The bad: does a terrible job cooking rice. White, basmati, jasmine, brown... rinsed or not, 1:1 through 2:1 water-to-rice ratio, half a cup of dry rice to two cups of rice - it doesn't matter. The bottom always burns and the rice comes out gummy. It seems like the heating element is too strong - it finishes up far faster than it should. Add to that the fact that the hole in the lid sputters far more than any rice cooker I've ever used, and the "keep warm" function only serves to burn the bottom rice even more.

I wish I hadn't thrown out my el-cheapo cooker when this arrived. It was tiny and didn't have a non-stick pot, but at least it made good rice. I know 2 stars is a little harsh, but if a rice cooker doesn't make good rice, there's no point.
