ZOJIRUSHINL-GAC10BM 5.5 Cup Uncooked Umami Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (Metallic Black)

I love this rice maker. I had the same $10 college rice maker for over 25 years and had no idea rice makers had advanced so much over time. It’s fantastic.

Mind you coming from a Hamilton Beach $40 Walmart special to this has been a Huuuuuuge difference!This makes the best rice I have ever had!Easy to clean. Easy to use. Will definetly buy another, and likely buy my kids these too when they move out.

Pretty easy to use, makes perfect rice.

I'm not super happy that the pot is relatively delicate, but it's been a simple matter to dry out the top stuff and wipe the pot clean with a soapy sponge, so the water beads.The rice is great though, for sticky you can use water, for loose, I put in chicken broth, oil, and whatever spices I feel like that day. I've taken to washing with a silicone whisk as I don't care for cold fingers.

I was debating about buying a rice cooker for many years. I have made rice in instant pot and microwave for many years. I give away my rice cooker (take up too much room).I finally decided to buy a new rice cooker. After some research, I decided on Zojirushi brand but not sure which model.Finally bought this model because it was on sale. Zojirushi rice cooker is expensive and hard for me to justify buying it.Long story short, it produces best rice I ever made. Beats National Rice cooker I had, Instant Pot and Breville microwave.The best part is it make brown rice so soft and no one complains about eating brown rice anymore. You can make sweet rice without soaking.Now I wish I bought a model up. Also wish I can find recipes to make Japanese cake and non rice dishes in it (my old rice cooker you can cook a meal in them).
