Make every rice type imaginable with a Zojirushi Rice Cooker
Brown Rice
This is a menu setting designed to cook delicious brown rice. In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy.
Sushi Rice
Because sushi rice will be processed after it’s cooked, it’s easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very similar to regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish.
Mixed
Mixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings. This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over.
Porridge
Instead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture.
MICOM (Microcomputer) Technology
Aided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from “occasional” to “serious”. Basically, the microchip does all the thinking for you, as far as adjusting cooking times and temperatures according to the type of rice you are cooking, and timing the pre-soaking of the raw grains and the final “wait” period during steaming.
MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into their daily diet.
How it Works
Conventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The “fuzzy logic” of MICOM fine tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all has different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan’s weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.

Stay-cool side handles make removal of the inner cooking pan quick and easy.

Stick to it like… Whenever I buy a new kitchen item, I tend to do a ridiculous (unhealthy?) amount of research. I research to the point that I go in circles for months trying to determine what is the absolute best item in the category of whatever I’m currently interested in. As a result, I can end up convincing myself I absolutely need the greatest tin foil ever invented and then I have to take a step back, get a grip, and start over with more realistic expectations.In the case of the Zojirushi, I…
Love this rice cooker I’ve had this rice cooker for three years, using it every other day and haven’t had a problem with it. I use it to mainly cook brown rice of various kinds (which takes around 1 hour and 50 min to cook brown rice) and I have cooked white rice with it (takes around 50 min ) and both come out perfectly. Couldn’t care less if the battery wears out (it hasn’t so far) as I never use the timer feature. Very easy to use and clean. The bowl is non-stick and the inner lid is removable for cleaning. You…
