Zojirushi - 3 Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer - Black

Growing up in a large Asian household, it was my responsibility as the oldest grandchild to be the one to make sure that the rice cooker was always stocked. I assumed every rice cooker had a keep warm function. Imagine my surprise when I read through the manual to find there was no such function on this appliance, just cook and off. Now that I have my own small family, we don't eat nearly as much rice, so having it available all the time is less of a concern. This tiny little rice cooker is excellent for our family, as it makes enough for dinner for the three of us, with a little extra to make fried rice the next day. Since I put the extra rice away in the fridge right after dinner, we don't really need to keep it warm for hours. And when we are done using the cooker, it fits easily into the bookcase that we repurposed for kitchen appliances. Provided you use the included cup and the marked lines on the pot, making perfectly cooked rice could not be simpler. I like that the lid is simple and easily cleaned, which is something that the fancier rice cooker models don't have. I also never knew not to wash the rice in the cooking pot, as it can scratch the surface, but after reading that in the manual, I now wash my rice in a strainer before adding to the pot. This old dog can learn a new trick or two.

This cooker makes perfect rice every time. Never burns and it automatically shuts off when it is done.

This product is great. The rice cooker works very well. Thank you very much.

I really like how the rice came out when it was done cooking. Perfect for a smaller rice cooker.

Burns the bottom of the rice more than any other rice cooker I’ve ever used, but 95% of the rice is perfect.
