Great rice cooker! April 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.

The perpetual bachelors dream come true! After being tied to the microwave (and nuking most everything to sustain a simple life), into my life came this little marvel, and I haven't used the microwave since (and shudder at that thought of having to do so), on anything that passes my gullet.
Simple, efficient and amazes me every time. As I am learning, I find that I can throw just about anything into it, turn my back on it, and like magic I end up with some of the best food I remember tasting. The S.S. tray and non-stick pot are a must have. Great buy, for a guy, and the price. I never realized how badly a microwave screwed up the taste and texture of my food till now.

Not what I expcted from reading other reviews April 11, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Most reviewers before me loved this product. I was not at all satisfied. I cooked brown rice. I rinsed it before putting it in the cooker. I read and followed all directions. Here's the problem: The cooker put out a lot of steam from the vent hole in the cover. After steaming for a while, it started spitting. I actually held a rag above the cover for a while so the counter didn't get messed up. When the cooker clicked off, the rice was not completely cooked, probably because too much water had vented out as steam. Adding more water would probably solve that problem; but since I don't want to stand by the machine with a rag each time I cook rice, I rate the product unsatisfactory.

Awesome cooker April 7, 2008

This cooker has made perfect rice every time, except for the time that I made the full 6 cupfuls; the top layer of the rice didn't get done. I would recommend this cooker to anyone - just make 5 cups or less. The bowl is so easy to clean. The rice in the very bottom only turns very slightly brown, hardly noticeable.
