Zojirushi NS-WAC18-WD 10-Cup (Uncooked) Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer

We had always made rice in a pot. We bought this specifically to make sushi rice and now we make every type of rice in this rice cooker and the rice has been perfect every time. Easy to use and clean. Wonderful addition to any kitchen. Well worth the price.

Cocina el arroz perfecto y ya vi que hay recetas para hacer el guiso completamente dentro de la arrocera :)

I have only had this rice cooker for a couple of days, but have already made rice and oatmeal with great results. I didn't know much about rice cookers, and really doubted that I need one at all until I realized they could be used for other things - like oatmeal. I don't eat rice every day, but I do eat oatmeal every morning. I prefer the long-cooking kind, steel cut or rolled oats, and usually make it in the microwave, which is fine if not special. But recently I have gotten into batch cooking and wanted to make enough to last several days. Not so easy in the microwave. I had tried overnight oats, and discovered that this method is acceptable only if one likes raw, uncooked oats. So, I decided to research rice cookers.Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about batch cooking oatmeal in one, so I had to make a blind purchase. I decided to go for broke and get one with fuzzy logic (why not?) I chose a smaller and cheaper competitor's product first. Wrong decision - no beep at the end of the cycle to let you know it is finished and an thin, cheap-looking inner pot that was too small for cooking more than 3/4 cup of raw oats on the porridge setting. Plus the inside measurement markings were impossible to see once placed in the cooker. Though less expensive than this model, we were still taking a lot of money, so that one went back and I purchased this Zojiruchi 1.8 L model instead. This one is a keeper! Large enough for my 4-days of oatmeal recipe that uses almond milk and a mixture of steel-cut and rolled oats with farro grain thrown in for good measure (makes 4, 12-oz servings.) Perfect, creamy results in about an hour using the porridge setting, and I can do other things during that hour - much better than standing at the stove stirring the pot for at least 30 minutes. No boil-over at all, and super easy clean-up due to the inner pot's non-stick coating and the removable cover plate under the top. I don't write many reviews, just the ones that I might have appreciated reading before making a purchase for a slightly different reason than the usual.

3 things make a great rice cooker:1. thick inner pot2. long cooking time (sounds not reasonable? but it's true, trust me!)3. enough pressureZojirushi rice cooker has all above pros. I have used it for 3 years, everyday. It produces perfect rice for me always.P.S. I love the timer, I just set it before leaving home every morning, and enjoy rice after home every evening.

Makes rice perfect, must buy. The rice cooker exceeded my expectations with its efficient cooking and user-friendly features. It consistently delivers perfectly cooked rice, and the non-stick interior makes cleaning a breeze. The sleek design and multiple cooking options make it a versatile addition to any kitchen. Overall, a reliable and impressive appliance that has simplified my meal preparation.
