  • Slow but produces good quality rice. Dependable and perfect for small households.
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
I have had a Cuckoo for 3 years, which I bought and used in Korea and Europe. It never failed, was consistent in producing good rice, and was dirt cheap. I think I got it for like 60,000krw (roughly 50usd). It was basic and small with a 3-cup capacity. We are a 2 person household so more than that is overkill. It was a reliable rice cooker and I loved it. Now that I moved to the US, I needed a rice cooker that was 110v. I was leaning towards Japanese rice cookers because they are a 110v country. The problem with browsing rice cookers on Amazon is the results mostly lean towards the bigger size. Small ones are generally regular manual rice cookers. It's also quite hard to judge the reviews because most Americans don't have rice cookers, so any rice produced with rice cookers would be heavenly for them, thus having a "best rice ever" headline. I had to sift through reviews and find ones made by people who have had ricer cookers prior to this purchase. I decided on this rice cooker because it looked sleek and has a lot of cooking options, and at the same time, it was the perfect size for my counter and had the correct capacity. It is also similar to my Cuckoo one, except for 2-3 more settings. It produces the same quality rice, but this takes way longer. For 1 cup uncooked rice, this rice cooker needs 60mins to produce normal white fluffy rice, whereas my Cuckoo could do it in 20-30mins. I don't know if this is due to voltage difference or just manufacturer preference since I haven't tried the 110v of my old Cuckoo (which Amazon sells). This rice cooker does have a "quick" option which allows a user to have rice in around 20mins, but not as soft as the 60min option. This is understandable because slow cooking rice will always be better. This is NOT the BEST rice ever, in my opinion, but both my Cuckoo and this Zojirushi produced comparable rice quality, good enough for daily meals, and way better than manually boiling rice on a pot. It does not burn the bottom rice. It keeps rice warm and moist. There is no congee option, but I find that the oatmeal function works well, but you have to experiment with water ratio. TIP: After soaking for an hour or so, crush the uncooked rice with your hands then use that in the rice cooker. It is very easy to clean. This brand is quite popular in Japan, and I now understand why. This is the most basic model, but it still produces good rice. I have yet to try their fancier models with pressure options for faster cooking. For now, this model works wonderfully, fits my family's needs, and is priced appropriately. ... show more

  • Amazing Cooker With Just A Few Flaws
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
Pros: Small Portable Retractable Cord Lightweight Multi-Menu Easy to Operate Cons: Not Cheap Internal Battery What I received in the package: 1 x ZOJIRUSHI NS-LGC05XB Micom Rice Cooker 1 x Internal 3 Cup Cooking Bowl 1 x Plastic Spatula 1 x Plastic Spatula Holder Accessory 1 x Plastic Measuring Cup 1 x User Manual This ZOJIRUSHI NS-LGC05XB Micom Rice Cooker product is an easy to use small rice cooker / warmer is approximately 9 1/8” x 11 7/8” x 7 1/2” and weighs in at roughly 5lbs 13.7oz. Interface is straightforward. You simply depress the [Menu] Button until you reach the type of rice you are cooking and then select [Start]. There are other functions but that is the very basics. It will play a little tune before it gets started the timer will count down until it is ready. This is a small rice cooker for the price but it does seem to cook a perfect pot of rice each time. There are a few features that I think are outstanding with this cooker. First, the 44” power cord is fully retractable. Making cleanup and storage easy. You should be careful not to pull the cord out passed the red sticker or it may not reel back in. Second, the cooker produces very little condensation that you have to clean up. It was easy to wipe down and store. All residual condensation drains directly into the pot, so not extra parts to clean. Third, the cooker is compact and relatively lightweight. The pot has a 3 cup capacity which is small for the price, but quite sufficient. I’ll be honest here, I have never paid this much for a rice cooker. I have gone through phases of using a cooker and then making rice manually in a pot. I decided recently to breakdown and get another cooker. I did a lot of research on models and brands and this one came out on top. This Micom model uses “fuzzy logic” to makes micro changes to your cooking time, etc depending in various variables to ensure your rice is cooked to perfection each time. I am Hawaiian and we are heavy rice eaters. Rice has been a staple on our table since I can remember. I cook rice practically daily depending on my needs. I have yet to be disappointed with this cooker. You just start it and leave it … much like any other rice cooker. The difference is the rice is perfect. It does have a delayed cooking feature if you want to prep it and cook it later. To do this you select the cooking program from the menu and then you select the time you want the rice to be completely cooked and ready. The Micom will process the information and determine when it needs to start to complete it at that time. Nice !!! I have tried cooking the following rice types: White Brown Basmati Jasmine Saffron While the unit does not have a specific Basmati, Saffron or Jasmine rice preset. I found that using the Long Grain or White setting with the proper rice to water ratio works just fine. Now to the only feature I don’t care for. This cooker has an internal clock which runs off of a clock battery that is integrated into the circuit board. The only instructions are when the battery goes out to contact the manufacturer for a replacement, which is not free. I am pretty handy and figure that when the time comes I will add a battery slot so you can replace the battery in the future without having to solder again. But that is a consideration you do have to mull over if you are looking at this model. As to replace this battery it “will” be something that the manufacturer will have to do if you don’t want to void your warranty or damage the unit if you are not skilled in soldering. Granted, these batteries typically last roughly 5 years so it should easily outlast your 1-Year Warranty. I feel this a money grab for a unit that is already quite expensive. I considered dropping it a star for making it a requirement to have to have the replaced by the manufacturer. The reason I didn’t is that it will still operate if you plug it in … it just will not retain the clock time and you will have to rest the time each time you plug it in. IF you unplug it. I can live with that. I am also not a huge fan of non-stick surfaces. However, that is common among all rice cooker brands. The unit also has a part, the power cord, that contain BPA. While it is not in direct contact with any cooking surface or food. The possibility does exist that you could cross-contaminate the cooking pot or food by plugging in the cord and not washing your hands before you begin to prepare the rice. Keep that in mind … The manufacturer offers a 1-Year Warranty from the original purchase date on this product. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, I have had a number of rice cookers in my lifetime … I wish I had known about this brand years ago. Please don’t let the price tag fool you. It is worth every Penney so far and will pay for itself inside a year with the amount of rice my family consumes as well as the time savings. While this is an excellent unit … there is still room for improvement here that would make it a true 5-Star appliance. It is so close to being 5-Star to me and is probably the best cooker I have ever owned. However, for those who don’t prefer Non-stick, the ability to purchase a ceramic pot would be a great option. Removing all BPAs from the product would be another and the ability to change out the battery is something that should be to be done without having to send in the unit. As the world continues to trend toward more healthy and sustainable choices … I hope this is something this manufacturer takes to heart. It must also be noted that all brands I have owned or researched suffer from the same flaws. Hope this information was helpful. [5 Stars] This product is made in China. ... show more

  • The best investment I've made all year
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
And its an INVESTMENT. I was nervous about spending this much on a rice cooker, but thought that I eat so much rice I might as well take the plunge. This rice cooker is on a whole new level. Have I ever really had rice before? You can tell that the people who designed this have cooked before. Cleanup is super, super easy. The bowl feels incredibly high quality, as does the rest of the cooker despite it being primarily plastic. The carrying handle on it is just an excellent touch, it makes it easy to move the cooker if I have to(which with my tiny kitchen, I often do.) And I can trust that my rice will stay nice and hot, due to just how well insulated this cooker is. The keep-warm function is also just divine. I was having a bad day, made some rice, and fell asleep. My old cooker would have kindly burnt a thin layer of rice on the bottom, but just as always the rice fell away from the bowl, deliciously fluffy as always. There's also no need to worry about water collecting on the inside lid, there's a place for that too just on the top of the rice cooker that is SUPER easy to clean out. The rice I make is now so, so fluffy! Its hard to describe it, but I can truly tell I made a huge upgrade from my sad little 20 buck rice cooker. If you're a college student like me, who eats nothing but rice to save money but you have a little bit to spare, this is so far a GREAT investment. I can see this staying with me well into the future. (Also, the adorable song at the start and end, also just brightens up my whole cooking experience.) ... show more

  • Pricey but very good. Takes longer but worth it.
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
A little pricey, but very, very good. Perfect for smaller meals. Only 2 of us at home now. Takes about 1 hour for 1 cup of white rice, but unlike our old cooker, it doesn't burn/harden the rice on the bottom of the bowl. Also use it for oats.
