Tasty rice is tasty September 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Great rice every time, and simple to use once you've waded through the instructions once. This is hands down better than the numerous American style/manufactured rice cookers I've owned in the past, some of which were more expensive. Some specific notes:

- Thick, quality interior rice bowl. This is one of the most important things because, just like any stove-top pot, even heat distribution is extremely important. I'm not sure if this thing is anodized, but it's definitely thicker than any inner tray I've had with my previous rice cookers. This is one reason that I rarely have problems with the bottom layer of rice over-cooking.

- Large, contoured heating element. This is another important thing as it spreads out the surface that is being directly heated, meaning (1) less heat needs to be used at any particular point on bowl and (2) the bowl doesn't need to be overly-engineered to spread concentrated heat. Here is reason number two that I rarely get burned rice on the bottom.

- Slow cook cycle (this is a good thing). It takes about 45 - 60 minutes to cook even a small amount of rice because this cooker raises the rice to a very specific temperature and then attempts to steam it as part of the cooking process. All the American cookers I've had in the past cook in about twenty minutes through a direct boil-and-be-done process. Of course, this gadget DOES have a fast cook process so it can operate in this fashion, but why waste good rice?

Buy it, and enjoy.

Expensive rice cooker but you get what you paid for! It cooks perfectly. I've never liked brown rice before, but this cooker makes it taste great. It's easy to clean as well, because it does not boil over, unlike other switch type rice cookers we've had. Since we eat rice almost every day, I regret not buying it sooner! We use it for white rice, brown rice, and porridge, and they all come out just right.

Great rice cooker! September 6, 2008
This rice cooker is so easy to use. I did discover that brown basmatti rice, which we use almost exclusively, needs to be cooked with the semi-brown rice setting and on that setting it comes out perfectly every time. You can set the timer for the rice to be ready at a particular time and the cooker starts at the right time to get it done on time. It does take longer than my old rice cooker, but the timer compensates for that. It takes 1 hour to cook brown basmatti rice, and my old cooker took 45 minutes. I have no idea how long white rice takes, because we rarely eat it. I would definitely purchase this rice cooker again if I had it to do over.

One of the Best Kitchen Appliances Ever! August 20, 2008

I buy a lot from Amazon, but I don't write a lot of reviews. This rice cooker, however, is amazing. I got it overnight, just unpacked it, and made delicious, chewy, creamy, nutty steel cut oats in about an hour. Use 1 rice cooker cup of McCann's oats, 3 rice cooker cups of water, select the porridge setting, and come back in about an hour. Stir in the juice that rises to the top and enjoy. Brown rice pudding is next. I have to get up really early some days, and I can't wait to pre-program in a hot breakfast. Think of it as a slow cooker for people with a sense of urgency!

The ZCC10 is extremely well made and easy to clean. I also recommend the Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook by Hensperger and Kaufmann, which has lots of good ideas for rice and more.

So far, the only thing I can see to look out for is to make sure that you measure consistently. Use the 180 ml rice cooker cups for the grain and the water, or use larger kitchen cups for the grain and the water to get the right ratio. Also, the unit comes with a nubby plastic spatula/scraper thingy that won't mar the nonstick finish of the bowl. Cleaning is a breeze with cold water and a microfiber cloth.

It's a little pricey, but well worth it because it has just about every setting you'll need to make more than just plan rice.

I love this thing. Not only does it make great rice, it holds it for hours--and I mean hours--with seemingly no loss of quality. I use it every other day. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
