NS-LGC05XB

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE this compact rice maker. It makes just the right amount for us and keeps the rice warm and fresh for a few days. It's not bulky and it's actually aesthetically pleasing to leave on the counter. Its built well and with strong and easy to clean components. This is my second Zojirushi rice cooker and if I ever need another it will be this brand.

Love love love. This makes the best rice that has ever come out of my kitchen. Super easy to use, very easy to clean. Perfect size and price for my family of two.

Pros: Small Portable Retractable Cord Lightweight Multi-Menu Easy to Operate Cons: Not Cheap Internal Battery What I received in the package: 1 x ZOJIRUSHI NS-LGC05XB Micom Rice Cooker 1 x Internal 3 Cup Cooking Bowl 1 x Plastic Spatula 1 x Plastic Spatula Holder Accessory 1 x Plastic Measuring Cup 1 x User Manual This ZOJIRUSHI NS-LGC05XB Micom Rice Cooker product is an easy to use small rice cooker / warmer is approximately 9 1/8” x 11 7/8” x 7 1/2” and weighs in at roughly 5lbs 13.7oz. Interface is straightforward. You simply depress the [Menu] Button until you reach the type of rice you are cooking and then select [Start]. There are other functions but that is the very basics. It will play a little tune before it gets started the timer will count down until it is ready. This is a small rice cooker for the price but it does seem to cook a perfect pot of rice each time. There are a few features that I think are outstanding with this cooker. First, the 44” power cord is fully retractable. Making cleanup and storage easy. You should be careful not to pull the cord out passed the red sticker or it may not reel back in. Second, the cooker produces very little condensation that you have to clean up. It was easy to wipe down and store. All residual condensation drains directly into the pot, so not extra parts to clean. Third, the cooker is compact and relatively lightweight. The pot has a 3 cup capacity which is small for the price, but quite sufficient. I’ll be honest here, I have never paid this much for a rice cooker. I have gone through phases of using a cooker and then making rice manually in a pot. I decided recently to breakdown and get another cooker. I did a lot of research on models and brands and this one came out on top. This Micom model uses “fuzzy logic” to makes micro changes to your cooking time, etc depending in various variables to ensure your rice is cooked to perfection each time. I am Hawaiian and we are heavy rice eaters. Rice has been a staple on our table since I can remember. I cook rice practically daily depending on my needs. I have yet to be disappointed with this cooker. You just start it and leave it … much like any other rice cooker. The difference is the rice is perfect. It does have a delayed cooking feature if you want to prep it and cook it later. To do this you select the cooking program from the menu and then you select the time you want the rice to be completely cooked and ready. The Micom will process the information and determine when it needs to start to complete it at that time. Nice !!! I have tried cooking the following rice types: White Brown Basmati Jasmine Saffron While the unit does not have a specific Basmati, Saffron or Jasmine rice preset. I found that using the Long Grain or White setting with the proper rice to water ratio works just fine. Now to the only feature I don’t care for. This cooker has an internal clock which runs off of a clock battery that is integrated into the circuit board. The only instructions are when the battery goes out to contact the manufacturer for a replacement, which is not free. I am pretty handy and figure that when the time comes I will add a battery slot so you can replace the battery in the future without having to solder again. But that is a consideration you do have to mull over if you are looking at this model. As to replace this battery it “will” be something that the manufacturer will have to do if you don’t want to void your warranty or damage the unit if you are not skilled in soldering. Granted, these batteries typically last roughly 5 years so it should easily outlast your 1-Year Warranty. I feel this a money grab for a unit that is already quite expensive. I considered dropping it a star for making it a requirement to have to have the replaced by the manufacturer. The reason I didn’t is that it will still operate if you plug it in … it just will not retain the clock time and you will have to rest the time each time you plug it in. IF you unplug it. I can live with that. I am also not a huge fan of non-stick surfaces. However, that is common among all rice cooker brands. The unit also has a part, the power cord, that contain BPA. While it is not in direct contact with any cooking surface or food. The possibility does exist that you could cross-contaminate the cooking pot or food by plugging in the cord and not washing your hands before you begin to prepare the rice. Keep that in mind … The manufacturer offers a 1-Year Warranty from the original purchase date on this product. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, I have had a number of rice cookers in my lifetime … I wish I had known about this brand years ago. Please don’t let the price tag fool you. It is worth every Penney so far and will pay for itself inside a year with the amount of rice my family consumes as well as the time savings. While this is an excellent unit … there is still room for improvement here that would make it a true 5-Star appliance. It is so close to being 5-Star to me and is probably the best cooker I have ever owned. However, for those who don’t prefer Non-stick, the ability to purchase a ceramic pot would be a great option. Removing all BPAs from the product would be another and the ability to change out the battery is something that should be to be done without having to send in the unit. As the world continues to trend toward more healthy and sustainable choices … I hope this is something this manufacturer takes to heart. It must also be noted that all brands I have owned or researched suffer from the same flaws. Hope this information was helpful. [5 Stars] This product is made in China.

And its an INVESTMENT. I was nervous about spending this much on a rice cooker, but thought that I eat so much rice I might as well take the plunge. This rice cooker is on a whole new level. Have I ever really had rice before? You can tell that the people who designed this have cooked before. Cleanup is super, super easy. The bowl feels incredibly high quality, as does the rest of the cooker despite it being primarily plastic. The carrying handle on it is just an excellent touch, it makes it easy to move the cooker if I have to(which with my tiny kitchen, I often do.) And I can trust that my rice will stay nice and hot, due to just how well insulated this cooker is. The keep-warm function is also just divine. I was having a bad day, made some rice, and fell asleep. My old cooker would have kindly burnt a thin layer of rice on the bottom, but just as always the rice fell away from the bowl, deliciously fluffy as always. There's also no need to worry about water collecting on the inside lid, there's a place for that too just on the top of the rice cooker that is SUPER easy to clean out. The rice I make is now so, so fluffy! Its hard to describe it, but I can truly tell I made a huge upgrade from my sad little 20 buck rice cooker. If you're a college student like me, who eats nothing but rice to save money but you have a little bit to spare, this is so far a GREAT investment. I can see this staying with me well into the future. (Also, the adorable song at the start and end, also just brightens up my whole cooking experience.)

I love that this has settings for gaba, brown, white, and steel oats! Rice always cooks perfectly. Great for a small household. It also stores nearly and easily and is not hard to maintain.

I’ve been using the Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer for several months now, and it has become an indispensable appliance in my kitchen. Its compact size is perfect for my small countertop, yet it offers a variety of cooking functions that cater to my diverse culinary needs. Pros: • Advanced Fuzzy Logic Technology: The microcomputer adjusts cooking time and temperature, ensuring perfect rice every time. I’ve successfully cooked white rice, brown rice, and even steel-cut oatmeal with consistent results. • Multiple Menu Settings: The cooker offers settings for white/mixed rice, sushi rice, brown rice, GABA brown rice, long-grain white rice, steel-cut oatmeal, and quick cooking. This versatility allows me to experiment with different grains and recipes. • Compact and Portable: The fold-down handle and built-in retractable power cord make it easy to transport and store, which is ideal for my limited kitchen space. • Easy to Clean: The detachable and washable inner lid, along with the nonstick inner cooking pan, simplifies the cleaning process. Cons: • Price Point: While it’s a bit more expensive than basic rice cookers, the quality and features justify the investment. Overall: The Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and convenience. Its advanced features and compact design make it a valuable addition to any kitchen, especially for small households or individuals who enjoy a variety of grains.

We have owned one of these for 15 years or so and rarely have we had a problem with it...except for user error (more later). I like to eat oatmeal in the morning and I find it wonderfully convenient to be able to set it up before I go to bed at night. The oatmeal is ready at exactly when I have set for it to be ready and off I go. If for some reason I don't get to it right away, it will keep the oatmeal hot for as long as I need it to. In fact, I have let the oatmeal sit in it for over 24 hours and it has still been just fine. While I only use it for oatmeal, it has settings for rice (of course), brown rice, and two other settings. Conveniently, once I set the timer for when I want it, it remembers it every day and all I have to do is push the timer button, the mode button 5 times to cycle through the settings, and then press cook. Simple, efficient, and quick. So here's a tip: the only time I've ever had problems with it involved fluids boiling out the top and making a mess all over the machine and the counter top. For the longest time I couldn't figure out what caused this problem, but finally it dawned on me that this phenomenon only showed itself when I didn't add enough water to the steel cut oatmeal. The water would boil and steam and go everywhere! So problem solved...make sure to put enough water in it to cook the oatmeal but still have enough for the oatmeal to essentially pour out in the morning. As I mentioned earlier, user error. My only complaint is that the machine arrives with a weird melody that plays after successfully programing the timer to have my food ready at 6:00 am. There are instructions for changing that to a simple beep and it is a minor inconvenience to change it...but still...who needs a weird melody that goes on way too long to let me know I'm done with setting up the cooker. On the up side, once the melody is changed to a beep, it sticks and it's over. We liked it so much that when we bought a second home, one of the first things we did was buy a second one to go there too! Highly recommended.

Didn’t know I needed this. No more baby sitting the pot on the stove. This makes perfect rice every time. Just add rice,water ,set and forget until it chimes. Does take longer then stove top (about an hr) It’s not cheap but worth it imo. Perfect size for 1-2 people.

The device burned after the first connection with a simple adapter because it is for 120 volts. This is not the first device I have used and it is made for the American standard. Until now, things have been fine with a simple socket adapter. This time, when it was first turned on, the central fuse of our house fell and the appliance burned. It cannot be repaired. I am very disappointed. I am writing it for all future buyers

Swift and accurate service. Delivery of unit in perfect condition . Unit exactly as described .

prodotto alimentato a 120V. Tensione non idonea per l'europa. viene riportato nelle specifiche, ma non debitamente evidenziato. Non capisco perchè non lo riportano in evidenza visto che lo vendono in europa, e la tensione è 220V, pertanto non utilizzabile.

El bowl de la arrocera es de acero y no de aluminio delgado con teflon como los economicos. Tuve una arrocera de 500 pesos y hacen buen arroz el problema es el teflon que se va desprendiendo e incluso en Estados Unidos es considerado producto cancerigeno, si la vas a usar 2 veces por semana pues la de 500 pesos es la opcion a elegir pero si eres como yo que la ocupa hasta 2 veces por dia pues la arrocera Zojiroshi es increible por su bowl de acero aparte el producto en general se ve que va durar mucho tiempo.

Excelente experiência desde o início! Consegui parcelar em 10x e chegou cerca de 5 dias antes do prazo. Funciona perfeitamente em São Paulo, é 110V e só precisa de um adaptador de tomada. A panela é sensacional, leva cerca de 40 minutos no modo rápido e 60 no normal, mas o arroz fica absolutamente perfeito!
