Do you have a Zojirushi Rice Cooker? If so, do you use it for anything other than steaming rice? Would love to hear what you use it for. If you liked this video, you might like this review of the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker: ruclips.net/video/7u6OVgMwQlA/видео.html
Right now, l just have an Aroma multicooker and works well, but I'm looking to get something better. But if l get the zojirushi rice cooker, I'll let you know. Thank you for the advice, Joe! 😀
The timer is actually for the finish time and not the start. If it was for start time, it would be useless because you won’t know when it will be done. Instead, you set the timer when you want the rice to be ready and the cocker will figure out when to start. Good review 👌
Yeah... Those are really well made. I just bought my mom a new one, and her old one still worked fine, but it was just getting beat up a bit and I like it when she has nice, shiny, new stuff.
My zojirushi rice cooker is the best and most reliable appliance I have ever owned. Perfect rice EVERY time. Thank you Zojirushi for making this appliance 👏👏👍👍
I’ve just upgraded mine to this model after using the smaller Panda rice cooker for the last 7 years, which is made by Zojirushi. I need to be buried with my rice cooker please. I may have the only home with a Zojirushi in the Irish countryside 🥰
@alexanderyewman I'd think your best bet to make sure you get one made in Japan it to grab one from an Asian market... Or you can check on Amazon and look in the product description. Should have that info there too.
Can you do the reviews on the pressure induction heating & induction heating models? Those 2 are quite expensive and I’m curious of the technology. Thank You
They have instructions for long grain rice, it takes more water. The reason it’s not the main focus is because the Japanese prefer short rice and this is a Japanese company. It’ll still work just fine for basmati or jasmine rice, just follow the directions.
I regularly make oatmeal, steel cut oats. I set it the night before to be ready in the morning. I use a little over half of the water the recipe calls for. If you use the amount of water on the box it will be too soupy. Works great . It took a little trial and error to figure out the right water to oats ratio. The rice cooker definitely uses less water that the recipe on the oats box calls for.
@@BeamerTime354 yeah yeah... I know. That fridge came with the house and is all messed up. Replaced it, since... And I leveled those doors.... Like right away.
Definitely right there - Zoji's rank alongside Tiger-Japan for those who want the ricey Rolls-Royce regardless of price. This model here in this video is $595 Aussie over here. Yikes. Parting piece of advice if you're a 'bang for your buck' person? Panasonic - $200 Aussie and it would be 85 per cent of a Tiger or Zoji - cheers ' 😁
Hmmm... sounds like it needs a little more water in there to cook. If does slowly dry the longer it's in there, since it's being kept warm.. so if it cooks dry, I can see why it won't last all that long.
If you go to the official website, they clearly label which rice cookers can last for days. It basically boils down to the Japanese-made ones are capable of keeping the rice perfect for a week, and not a single China made one can last over a day. Sadly this info inst on Amazon or at retail stores, but the Japan ones have Japan written on them. The ones made in Japan cost $180-600, and the ones from China cost $60-200.
@@bobsteven2363 Where can I find the Japanese ones? I dont see any. I only ever find the China ones. Im specifically looking for this exact one but Made in Japan.
You have to follow the directions that come with the cooker, long grain or basmati rice calls for 1.25 units of water per 1 unit of rice. If you don’t it will be too dry.
Buying a kitchen appliance that is constantly in use that has a nonstick surface that's easy to scratch off is too cumbersome to always remember to gently clean so I would not purchase this item.
I like zojirushi machines a lot... This is one of the more inexpensive model.. The higher end ones have induction heating and also some more functions and capacity but I felt like this was the best bang for the buck.
Want one that lasts good, is easy to clean - and doesn’t *burn* the rice if you keep the rice in the thing longer than six to eight hours! (Make a batch that’s enough for three or four meals.)

Best rice cooker !! 1:53
You got it. Thanks!
I can’t get the machine start … anyone help ? I put rice water close it and start …. Nothing happens…

Ugh... Makes sense... Shoulda tested that to be sure. That's actually a better way to run a timer. Thanks!
Holt shi....
This means u can soak your rice over night and have the buzzer go off right when u need rice daily. Such as 8am or 12pm
@@fmcdomerIs it good for rice to soak for hours though?
@FabioGrenkh soaking is actually a pretty good idea. I never do it, but people swear by it.
@@JoesPhenomenal I see, I see. I might have to give it a try then!
I've had mine for almpst 16 years (Damn, I'm getting old). It still works like new, and i still get happy whenever I use it.
Yeah... Those are really well made. I just bought my mom a new one, and her old one still worked fine, but it was just getting beat up a bit and I like it when she has nice, shiny, new stuff.
The scoop holder is loose by design so you don't snap and break it when inserting/removing the rice scoop.
Hmmm.... Well, ok then! Thank you kindly, sir.
My zojirushi rice cooker is the best and most reliable appliance I have ever owned. Perfect rice EVERY time. Thank you Zojirushi for making this appliance 👏👏👍👍
I have 3 rice cookers and this one is by far the best. Perfect rice each time.
I totally agree!

Lol.... I hear ya. They really are fantastic machines.
I've got one and live only up the road...🇮🇪🇮🇪😉
what store did you get yours from I live in England and I'm not sure where to buy from?
@alexanderyewman I'd think your best bet to make sure you get one made in Japan it to grab one from an Asian market... Or you can check on Amazon and look in the product description. Should have that info there too.

I was looking at one of the induction models when I bought this one... Might need to do a comparison
@@JoesPhenomenal Thank You 🙏, look forward to hearing from you soon.
@@panda55cjust heats up the pan faster
Got mine for $75 at a local store and a $50 kitchen aid wok best purchases ever
Score!
so, I really wanted one, but didn't realize they are primarliy for short/medium grain rice. Curious to see this and what was prepared.
That's a miss on my part. I should have tried some long grain in there too.

I have their NL BAC05 model and am quite happy with it.
I have a SPT rice cooker that works exactly like a zojirushi. Got it for $70!!!
Nice!
what about porridge? like oatmeal?
Yep.. There a porridge setting right on there... At least on my model there is.

By the way, there is a nut that is at the bottom of your fridge doors you can turn to level the top so they are even. 🤔

Yep... defintely pricey! Those Panasonics aren't bad... not bad at all... and like you said, the price is something like HALF
Before i heard they used fuzzy technology but i am not sure if they fixed because maybe they buy components rather manufacturing themself
I think they do everything in house on the more expensive models, and buy some of the components on the cheaper ones, but I might be wrong on that.
you forgot the electric consumption,
or if its a inverter type or not?
Joe, can this rice cooker do grains? 😊
I haven't tried that. What did you have in mind?
Love ours!
It's getting a ton of use!
Best for distill water in emergency
Hmm.. good idea!
How do you prepare your distilled water using the rice cooker?
I abuse my rice cooker, incredibly good product.
Wait… I can bake a cheesecake with this????
I know! Weird, huh?
@@JoesPhenomenal mine doesn’t have a cake setting…can I still try it on another setting, do you think?
@@WalkingOneLegAtATime I'd try doing it on the brown rice setting.
somehow ours doesnt last for 24 hours it turns the rice to a very hard dried rice. not sure what to do probably back to tiger

That's a great gift. You rock.

@dennisyoung4631 any of the zojirushi ones handle all that no problem... I've never heard about one breaking on anyone either so that's good.
