ZojirushiNS-TSC10 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, 1.0-Liter

Uncle Roger was right. Get this baby working and you'll pull in a crowd. Rice smells great when it is cooking. The bowl is smooth like butter with the nonstick. The stainless steel matches well with my kitchen. The buttons and the cute song always make me happy. Believe me when I tell you this puppy cooks up the best rice you've ever had at home. I cook 5.5 cups at a time and its the perfect capacity for my hosting. Ive had guests who have loved my rice so much they buy this rice cooker and everytime i call them they just tell me about their awesome rice now. Friends have told me i have restaurant quality rice at home now. We have always had great rice in our Filipino household but this rice cooker is now in our prized possession. I was skeptical with the price but in our opinion it was worth it. 10/10 gold stars 🌟

I have lived in Japan and know what a difference a good rice cooker makes ...and I know that Zojirushi is one of the best brands out there. This rice cooker has brought me so much food joy! It is easy to use, easy to clean, and if you wash your rice properly, it makes PERFECT rice, in less than an hour (depending on how much you are making). I have used it for white rice (Japanese rice), brown rice (Japanese genmai) and for porridge and they have all been delicious and simple. Expensive, and worth every penny.

Excellent little rice cooker, easy to use, and cooks white and brown rice perfectly every time, never undercooked, never soggy.I was a little hesitant to purchase because of the coating on the bowl, but so far it's holding up fine, and there is an aftermarket stainless steel bowl for this model that's pretty inexpensive.I bought mine used as an amazon warehouse deal, but having used it I wouldn't hesitate to buy this brand new.

Love this thing. I didn't grow up with rice cookers, so i always just made rice on the stove. In college I started making a lot of rice due to the influence of a Filipino buddy in a 20$ rice cooker, that think lasted over a decade and made tons of rice. This was a great up grade, bigger, faster, nicer, easier to clean. We make rice in it atleast 3 days a week for the last few years.

Perfect size for 4-8 people,, It’s very easy to use as well and lots of options to choose from, and how easy the pot is to clean is very easy,, perfect moisture level and perfect texture of the rice,, Overall Perfect Rice cooker for its price, worth the purchase and would last you years.

This is a great machine, probably the best. Don’t take my Latin card away, but I eat rice every day and it never came out to my satisfaction in the pot on the stovetop. Even though this machine is not made in Japan, don’t let that prevent you from buying. It’s very well-made to the manufacturers quality and specifications. As of the date of this review, it’s selling at pre-tariff prices so it’s a great deal.

I cook rice every day so this piece of equipment is essential and I ahve always used Zojirushi and revently Tiger (Costco) but my inner pot coating is peeling and thus I decided it was time to upgrade. To tell you the truth I dont know if i am keeping so here is the good and the bad. The features that I felt were important were easily covered in this model.I wanted a steaming rack as I am a "lazy cook". I do simple one pot meals such as ginger scallion steam fish, steam eggs, dim sum , veggies, while I am cooking rice so I wanted a steaming rack that I could use when I was cooking rice and this definitely fits the bill. Its makes white rice (which is 98% of what I do) just fine BUT, it takes forever. I am also an all of a sudden - oops I forgot to make the rice cooking speed is important. The quick function does it in 30-40 min which is wayyyyy to long for me. I have seen other brands with 12-20 min and that is really what I am looking for. So if speed is important - look elsewhere or look at induction rice cookers.The other thing I like is that this model has a handle and a retractable plug so its neat and tidy and easy to move around. This also cooks other types of rice and congee but it will take longer - I just used white rice as my benchmark. So everyone's needs are different but mine were white rice cooking speed, steaming tray, retractable plug...and obviously quality etc. One last thing, I noticed the hinge of the rice cooker doesn't go all the way up - you need to bend it back more so that you can easily put your pot in. Not a big deal but more of a nuisance.

I shopped around quite awhile before I purchased this on a recommendation by my daughter in law. Hers came from Japan so I wasn’t sure I could find the same model. It works like a dream. Super easy to use and keeps rice warm and moist for days.
