Customer Reviews

Disappointed Have been using the rice cooker for al,kit a month now on a regular ases and has been a struggle; it over cooks the rice in the bottom and the texture is of over cooked rice. Initially I thought it was low quality rice so test it out by cooking the rice on a standaupot on the stove and it came out way better, switched the rice from standard long grain to Thai jazmin rice to see if it had an impact.... still the cooker managed to over cook it........will never buy this brand again. 1Important to rinse the rice so it doesn't spatter and bubble We have never owned a rice cooker; we've always just cooked rice on the stove. But our son is coming home from Bangkok with his Thai girlfriend, so we bought this one which is similar to theirs. Some reviewers say it spatters and bubbles through the hole in the lid, and makes a mess. We debated whether rinsing the rice was necessary. The directions say to, but our rice bag did not say to. I have never rinsed rice, but the Thai lady does. So we did an experiment. The rice we briefly rinsed and drained before cooking was perfect. The same high-quality Thai jasmine rice, unrinsed, caused spattering and spitting out of the hole in the lid. So, there you are. 5A simple no-frill rice cooker I love this rice cooker. It's simple, straight-forward, and does the job of making rice. We were given one of those fancy rice cooker with 10 different buttons, which I now only use to make porridge. We don't want to wait 45 minutes for our rice. We reverted back to using our hand-me-down 6-cup National brand rice cooker. It functions fine, but I was tired of looking at that huge thing on my counter when the most we cook is 3 cups. The size of this rice cooker is about the same as a 1.5 quart slow cooker. I do 3 cups of white rice + 3.25 cups of water. I don't find any water splattering to be a problem.I actually really appreciate the simplicity of this design. For the fancier versions of rice cooker, you must fill water to the correct line using the correct button depending on what you are cooking. I also sometimes do a mix of white rice/quinoa to mix it up. I will do 2 cups of white rice/quinoa + 2.5 cups of water. You want fluffier mixed rice? Add a little more water next time. The rice cooker turns off when there is no more liquid, which in my mind allows for more flexibility and control. This model doesn t come with a steamer, but with a little creativity you still can. All you need is to find a colander, a mesh basket, a rack that doesn t touch the bottom of the pot. I happen to have a stainless steel mesh basket I purchased from Muji years ago that sits perfectly flush with the container. I have steamed kale, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes. I tend to over-steam these because I am making them for my 14-month-old. But again, you can make note of how much water to add and/or use the instruction manual as a guideline to get your desired texture. I only wished I purchased this sooner! 5Basic Model Far from Basic I bought the basic, smallest rice cooker listed here after my old Rival rice cooker died. That one had been a gift and lasted for over 7 years, so I was pretty satisfied with it, and probably would have bought the same one if I could have found it. But I didn't. I ended up choosing this one, despite being more expensive than other basic rice cookers because I have been very satisfied with other Zojirushi products, primarily the thermoses and carafes.Wow! I was blown away!I expected it to be pretty much the same as the old Rival one I had, since I was getting the basic version and the smallest size. But there is so much more detail put into this one. The bowl where you put the rice is much more solid and hefty. And the finish is smooth and obviously durable (though I've only used it a few times) compared to the one I had before. The cord is quite long, which was surprising as well, but very convenient. It also did come with the advertised accessories, though I didn't need them. I measure my own rice/quinoa/etc. with regular measuring cups, and I have the old paddle still from the Rival rice cooker. I say this because I saw another reviewer mention that they did not receive the accessories on the basic model.So far, I have cooked quinoa with turmeric and garam masala (something I eat regularly for breakfast) and wild rice in this new rice cooker. No problems. No liquid mess spouting out the tiny hole on the lid. No grains sticking to the bottom of the bowl -- in fact, it all slides out so fast and easy that one would expect the whole thing to be lined in oil. This also makes it a breeze to clean -- with nothing stuck to the bottom, you can easily remove all the grains into a container or plate, so that the bowl is completely empty. It also can go in the dishwasher (as could the old Rival), with no issues.Overall, this feels more like a luxury sports model compared to the Rival I had before, despite getting the "Basic" model. Maybe there aren't as many bells and whistles as the higher-level options, but there is no skimping in quality or functionality. Definitely worth the extra money compared to other "basic" rice cookers, and much better than I was expecting. 5Simple & effective Browsing on Amazon I realized I've had this rice cooker for 15 years! So I thought it deserved a review. I use it an average of once or twice a week, and have only used it to cook brown and white rice.It does spurt and sputter, especially if you are making brown rice (probably due to additional "stuff" in the brown rice causing foamier bubbles, in addition to needing more water for brown rice). As long as the lid is seated properly (not floating on water or a stray rice grain), and you cover it with a towel (flour sack towel works great) when it's cooking, it's fine. But I am not a countertop neatnik. I definitely make sure the lid is seated properly, and cover it with a tea towel or kitchen towel. I almost never pre-soak my rice, even brown rice. If you want a spurt-free rice cooker, you need one of those with the hinged, latching lids, they have special gaskets and systems to manage the bubbling and overflow. The benefit of this simpler style is that it's less bulky and easy to clean with warm water and a dish brush.As for complaints about cooking quality, you really need to use water ratios from your rice packaging, not the generic ones that come with the rice cooker. For Japanese-style short or medium grain white or haiga (partially milled) rice (Nishiki, Botan Calrose, for example) I would use 1 cup rinsed rice : 1.25 cup water. (This is the 6 oz cup that comes with the cooker.) I also use a Japanese Kagayaki medium grain brown rice that does exceptionally well with just 1 cup rinsed rice : 2:25 cups water, and cooks up fine with no pre-soaking. I find brown rices to be more variable in their water needs, unfortunately; so YMMV.I don't like constantly plugging & unplugging things so I use a simple plug-in switch at the wall to shut it off. I found one at my local hardware store years ago, it's similar to this GE Grounded On/Off Power Switch, Plug-In, White, Energy Efficient, Space Saving Design, UL Listed, 15A, 120VAC, 1800W, 25511.The biggest negative for the 1.2L model (the middle size, I think it holds 5-6 cups uncooked max) is that the bottom does seem too hot. Making just 1 cup (uncooked) rice tends to result in rice that's dry and crunchy on the bottom. My typical batch is 2 cups raw rice at a time, and I find 2-3 cup batches work well. The bottom can get slightly brown, but if you turn it off within 30 minutes or so it doesn't dry out too much. However, it's definitely annoying, and is the one problem that has made me want to ever investigate a different rice cooker ever.However, since this has proven to be a workhorse and reliably produces delicious rice for my purposes, I'm still giving it 5 stars. 5I am a chef and I have found no use ... I am a chef and I have found no use for any of the fancy rice cookers for ones home. This can cook enough rice for 2 - 6 people. Im not sure how it knows when the rice is ready but I can cook any type of rice to perfection every time. My last one of these lasted 12 years and the only reason I got a new one is because the teflon finally started to come off. 53-cup specifics These reviews seem to be a mix of all 3 sizes. The 3-cup (smallest) does NOT have a keep warm setting or a steamer insert, and the cord doesn't detach. It just makes great rice, especially if you have some experience with one of these simple pots. I got it to replace a National (Panasonic) from 1974 that still works! Thoroughly washing and pre-soaking the rice minimizes spitting out of the little hole in the lid. Zojirushi has excellent detailed instructions in the Recipes section of its website. Want perfect brown rice? Use 2 cups of rice (the included measuring cup, which is the Japanese standard cup = 3/4 US cup), rinse several times in a separate container, soak half an hour & drain, transfer rice to the pot, add water to the .4 liter line, cover, push the button and leave it alone. Don't ever lift the lid, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes after it shuts off. The rice will be slightly sticky and not at all mushy - comes out just as good as the fuzzy logic model I got for my son, which automates the pre-soak stage and temperature setting. 5The Best Rice Cooker for over 25 years! I purchased my first Zojirushi rice cooker over 25 years ago while station in Japan. The cooker worked unfailingly for over 25 years until this year. As I searched for a replacement - reviewing the multitude of complex rice cookers - I realized what I wanted was the same cooker I had. This is the model! I wanted it to cook rice correctly in an timely manner.I'm not a rice connoisseur...the Japanese take it to an art form, so maybe the more complex machines result in a better dining experience. For me, this rice cooker delivers fluffy, perfect rice every time. I tend to cook about 3 cups (dry volume) rice each time. Add water, add rice, flip the lever to "cook", and in about 20-25 minutes I have great rice for dinner. If that's what you need, then this is the product.Differences from the original - interior is non-stick aluminum which is a huge improvement over the original bare aluminum. Rice doesn't stick. There are markings in the "pot" to show where to fill the water - these are definitely harder to read with the non-stick coating. It's a bit of a pain, but not a deal breaker. Lid is glass and has a small weep hole. I read that this hole "spit" and made a mess. This is NOT my experience at all. In fact, my old lid (light aluminum, no hole) occasionally caused a small mess. This does not.I've had this product now for 3 months. It's a simple cooker that works perfectly and exactly like the one I had for 25 years. Very, very happy. 5This size is perfect for a two person family in which one person ... Unless you have to feed a family of 3 or more every night with rice you will want to get the the bigger size.This size is perfect for a two person family in which one person doesn't like rice. Throw the rice in, fill the water up to the prescribed level and fuhgeddaboudit. Press the button and walk away. Your brown rice will be ready in 25-45 minutes depending on the quantity. The rice never sticks to the pot, its always perfectly cooked, and there is nothing left to chance. So unless you are the matriarch of a huge brood, pick up this rice kit. You won't be decevoir'ed. 5I LOVE THIS! OK Number 1 things I want to address is all the complaints about it spattering......you HAVE TO WASH YOUR RICE! (I don't care what the bag says), rinse your rice with water until the water is about clear. As a result I have NEVER had an issue with it splattering at all. This little thing is amazing, it cooks quickly, it's super easy to clean, and a great price! I will say a few things here....if you're having issues with your rice either being too soft or not soft enough you'll need to adjust the water content. Once you figure out what you need it's really easy to just throw it together. My first few batches of rice were too mushy because I was following the instructions exactly. Logic dictates that it needed less water to make it less mushy. So I decreased the water quantity just a little bit and it came out perfect. Just like with any recipe sometimes it needs adjusting to suit your tastes and ingredients - rices do vary. A full pot is plenty to feed the two of us and have some leftovers. I love that I can just throw the water and rice in (after rinsing), push a button and walk away to cook other things. The pot is removable, non-stick, and super easy to wash. If you're looking for just a basic, easy to use rice cooker I highly recommend this product! 5
