Zojirushi3 Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer ( White)

We got tired of the newer rice cookers with all the useless buttons so we went back to the more traditional ones. One button and cooks on time and the rice comes out perfect. It is pricey but will last a long time and it is worth it for the price. We have two adults and 1 child in the household, so this works perfect for a small family of even four people. We cook rice every morning. The only thing you need to always remember, is to unplug it after the rice is done.

This replaced and older Zojirishi 10 cup rice cooker that I had for about 20 years. The older one was cracked from dropping and I never made more that 4 cups at a time. It finally died and would not power up. I decided to go smaller this time around, 6 cups, and as a bonus, it has a steamer tray! Also a bonus over my old 10 cup, it starts at 1 cup as the minimum to make whereas my old started at 2 cups. The first one I received was damaged; both the box and it’s contents were dented in multiple spots, which I attribute to both the poor protection of the original box and not having an outer shipping box (it was packed just in the original box). Amazon made it easy to return and get a replacement which was appreciated! Overall, I hope this lasts me another 20 years!

I bought this rice cooker back in October 2014. Now it finally doesn’t work anymore after 11 years of serving for twice per day. The quality is GOAT.

Didn’t know that it has to be unplugged (not kept on warm) so as to avoid the cooked rice become rice crispy

Definitely worth paying more for this small rice cooker compared to cheaper options and (no stick or burn) rice is cooked perfectly every time. It automatically turns off when ready and stays somewhat warm so you don't have to monitor. A spatula is included. I watched posted videos before using which were very helpful as instruction manual isn't all that clear.

Perfect for college students who need to save money and space!

Fabulous

I bought this pot hoping it would keep my rice warm, but unfortunately, it didn’t perform as expected. The rice isn’t warm enough, even after a short time. I saw some reviews mentioning this issue and now I wish I had trusted them before purchasing. I’ve always had faith in this brand, so this was a disappointing decision.
