Zo is a great brand but Panasonic, LG, Sanyo all make great rice cookers too. You can spend half as much and get good computerized control fuzzy logic rice cooker in this size.
Stylus it look nice, It cook slow using quick cook, the pan is thin -not thick but better than the typical polymer in the past, it actually regular teflon coating.Take too long to reheat the rice.My old zojirushi take about 20 minutes to cook.
the other 2 has not been open yet thank you i rate it a 1 the lid is hard to pop up, but it works.
Seems to get stuck. Sometimes I have to try a couple of times to open the lid. There's also no place to put the rice spoon. This is my third Zojirushi Rice cooker and my least favorite.I didn't like this model because cleaning the inside lid and moisture cup collector is needed after each use. The top does not close if the inside lid is not in place.
I DO AGREE, it should cost 75 or a hundred bucks less. The rice does indeed turn out better than from other cookers, and guests often comment that it is better tasting than from their own cookers. It looks good enough that it doesn't look out of place too which is good. I use two and a half cups of water to one cup of oats in the porridge mode.
It cooks a pretty mean oatmeal too.I thought I must be crazy for buying a $200 rice cooker when you can buy other models for $15. I started out storing it in my cabinet, but have made space for it on the counter since I use it every day (modt days twice). I love rice, but never rice I made at home. It never turned out well and I hated the cleanup. Rice turns out perfectly whether you wash it or not (I prefer to wash white rice as I like the flavor better with the starch removed). With the Zutto it's a snap.
But if it disapeared tomorrow, I would immediately buy another one. I load the cooker at night and set the timer feature, and wake up to the smell of oatmeal. You can set the time you want to eat, and the Zutto will adjust it's start time so it completes cooking at that time. It automaticly goes into the keep warm mode when it's done cooking, so even if your an hour or three late getting home you will arrive to perfect rice. The 'keep warm' feature works well too, and you can keep the rice for hours without it drying out.I have also become addicted to McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal since buying the Zutto. You can have freshly cooked rice waiting when you get home ready to go. The Zutto makes perfect rice every time (I make long grain, brown and short grain Sushi rice in mine and they all turn out great).
Oh yea, the timer feature. McCanns is another delacacy thats time consuming to make on the stove and clean up. The Zutto is made better and works better than any other non-comercial cooker I have seen or had rice from though. I have eaten it for breakfast every day that I have been at home since the first time I tried it.
