Zojirushi - 3 Cup Induction Heating Rice Cooker - Stainless Steel Brown

I absolutely love this rice cooker and have been using it consistently every week since purchasing it. Every time I used it I have had perfect rice. A big difference from cooking rice on a stovetop. Its’ smaller capacity is perfect for 1-4 person households. It is super easy to keep clean as well.

The rice cooker is amazing! It cooks rice fast and consistently good. The rice is coming out full aroma and it keeps it warm for days. I was worried at first it would be too small but it’s not. I made two cups of rice in less than 20 mins. Amazing!

Well worth the price. It cooks rice to perfection, it’s been a real game changer in my cooking routine. But don’t sleep on what else it can do. I never thought to make oatmeal in a rice cooker but there’s a porridge setting. The best oatmeal I’ve had, seriously. This is an investment but if you’re looking to make your life easier, it’s worth it.

I like to meal prep and rice is a common base I use for day-to-day meals. This is a set and forget machine and it's very convenient. I don't rinse white rice unless I'm doing a full 3 cups of rice. Primarily I'm making 1-2 cups at a time and not rinsing the rice has been fine. It does take ~35-40 minutes or so to make the rice and when it goes to warm mode it doesn't burn or crisp the rice like other cheaper rice cookers I have had in the past. The footprint of this is actually quite good and not too large which was a deciding factor since this sits on my kitchen counter full time. I have seen others use this for grains, and there is settings for that, but my use case is rice 95% of the time. I'll try some other grains later, but haven't started that yet. 10/10 would recommend this rice cooker to anyone who actually makes a lot of rice.

Best Japanese rice cooker for small families or single people, multi function and really fast 20mimutes for the quick setup.
