Fair video. A little ownership bias shows :). One thing I'd point out is that the quality of plastic is not decided by how flexible, thin, or thick it is. That only matters if the stiffness, or dimensionality has any performance impact. In this case, the quality of plastic should be decided by how many VOCs and other harmful chemicals will it leach into your steam and food when used inside a hot appliance. My hope is that the Zojirushi with it's Japanese build and quality does less to kill us.

I'd like to add that the more expensive rice cookers also do a better job with the "keep warm" function. Cheaper rice cookers tend to dry up the rice at the bottom if you leave it too long.

They also handle different grades of rice better. I know in North America people just think rice is rice but especially with Japanese rice there are various grades. You can cook cheaper rice in a better cooker and it'll come out better than expensive rice in a cheap cooker.

We bout a rice cooker in the 80’s when living in Japan and our (my parents) zojirushi is still running strong. We came back to the states and I got lucky at found a zojirushi from a military family who bought one because they were told they needed one. They didn’t like Japanese rice and never used it so I got it new for $20. I was 16 and got it from them at their yard sale. It only has the in and keep warm button. I just turned 42 and still use it. I love love love my zojirushi.

I-- being a single guy who's into Japanese cooking-- had been using the Black and Decker type (if not that brand) for some 20+ years. Gone through three, four of them. Serviceable, yeah, decent enough rice. Recently I finally, after years of debating it, too the plunge and bought a smallish Zojirushi Micom type cooker. I REGRET NOTHING. Seriously, best rice I have ever had. Best $140 I ever spent.

Thanks for quite thorough review. I was just looking to upgrade and one of my criteria (besides affordability) is the materials the inner pot is made of. My former rice cooker was telflon, which does scratch and flake off, which is reportedly unhealthy. I understand that teflon has improved over the years, but still not my top choice. Most rice cookers just describe the pot as being non-stick, but I know the Instant Zest one advertises as ceramic (and another brand advertises as bonded granite), and they would be my preference over a cooker just described as 'non-stick'. When it states it's non-stick, it should say also that it's PFOA-free, and even better to describe what material it is made of. While I've only watched a couple of video reviews its rare that the material is one of the features talked about, but these days with people wanting such information, it would be helpful.

My Instant Pot MAX multi cooker has a rice cooking function but occasionally it slightly scorches the rice. The issue is uneven heating. For this reason, I put my rice in a Pyrex oven glass bowl and set it on a trivet. The water goes into the pot as usual as per instructions but your rice now sits off the bottom and only heated by steam for perfect, extra fluffy rice.

I love my Zojirushi rice cooker. I have the same one. I have yet to try the cake and porridge settings. I can say that brown rice comes out fluffy in my Zojirushi, it’s so much more enjoyable. My grandma uses the more economical ones and she goes through them a lot so she keep the pot and lid and uses it on the stovetop. For me, my Zojirushi is an investment because they last long, and I make a lot of rice for my family of 5.

Thank you for your review - all though I can not afford a Zojorushi I went with an Aroma 8 cup rice cooker that looks similar to the instant pot (just without the quinoa or oatmeal setting) and I am glad that the particular model uses a granite non-stick coating rather than PTFE. Also it cooks rice so much better than my old Oster where the rice would stick to the bottom of it even with it's PTFE coating which started to wear off quickly even using sponges that were designed for non-stick things.

What I SHOULD mention is that after I bought the NS-TSC10, I noticed that the pot got de-gunked a lot easier than the 4-cup Aroma rice cooker I had, since all the starch I couldn't wash out found its way to the bottom of the pot; the Zojirushi cleaned up A LOT easier. I can't speak for any Instant users, but I don't regret the purchase I made.

I can’t speak to the Instant Pot rice cooker, but the bog standard cheap rice cookers don’t cook based on time. It’s all temperature. The quick version is that water boils at 100°C, so if the temperature goes over 100°, the water has either absorbed or boiled off. If there’s still water, it can’t get hotter than that.

I bought a no name brand with mostly plastic and very small that cost only $24 at Frys electronics and still running for 7 years but already beat up even the brand name came off. I'm shopping for a rice cooker and checking on durability first so would spend as much as $150 so I'll try Zojiroshi, Tiger or Cuckoo.

I'm seeing a lot of Zojirushi reviews about at the moment. I had one, and I couldn't stand it and got rid of it. I thought it was overly designed and the 'songs' drove me nuts. I can't stand appliances that beep, whistle or sing to me - I just don't see the point, and I didn't think the rice it cooked was that much better than I made by other methods, that justified the extra 20 minutes or so it took to make. I go through about 5kgs of rice a month, so I cook a lot of rice. I cook it microwave pressure cooker these days, and find it comes out perfect every time. 2 cups of thrice washed rice, 3 cups of water, 10 minutes in the microwave, give it a shake and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes (leaving it sealed). No fuss and very little messing about. But to each his own, that's what works for me and I can appreciate that everyone has their own methods and expectations. One other thing, I'm surprised you would need a 'reminder' that you need to wash the insert and lid insert after each use. I would have thought that would be something everyone does as a matter of course.

The tasting outcomes were so largely affected by the quality of rice used. The expensive machine can't magically make bad rice taste amazing. You may want to try high quality Japanese rice (available on Amazon or your local Japanese supermarket). Otherwise, it might be just like test driving Ferrari and Toyota Camry at school zone, then came to the conclusion that there were not much of the difference in turn of the speed and handling...with Camry became a smart buy. (Which I agreed ironically.) Btw, IH version of the rice cookers are miles better than the non-IH models. Pressured versions are not necessary. Try Zojirushi NP-HCC-10/18 at least.

Want it to be more or less dry? Alter the water amount and also use decent quality rice as well.

What's the ratio of options used vs money spent by you on each of these rice cookers?

The steam meaning energy loss. When it start boil, turn it to warm up for rest of cook . Choice to model which stay coolish to touch. It have better insulate.

I actually use the black Decker, it does help me save time because I used to make my rice on a pan and it would take a long time plus staying near it so I would have to move it around so it doesn’t burn

Technically rice on a pan/pot shouldn't take a lot longer, you shouldn't have to move it around. You just kind of just need to boil the water and allow it to steam inside to work its magic. Search around for guides on how to cook rice with a pot might need a few small failures before you get the right formula for your pot and the rice you use. A lot of trust is needed cause if you have an opaque lid you can't tell what state it is in.

Very good comparison but you are missing one thing that is which rice cooker cooked the rice fastest. You should also include how long each rice cooker takes to cook.

You don't need to keep the measuring cup.. Making rice in in a rice cooker requires the same 2:1ratio as you would use on the stove. Also also I own the larger instant instant zest 6 qt model and I really love it however it's whisper it's weakest point point would definitely be the ceramic coated inner pot is inner pot that has a tendency To degrade and lose its nonstick nonstick ability ability much quicker than an older Teflon coded inner pot would. I really Hope that the instant company address address this issue sooner than later. The 1st one I owned was about a year ago and and the inner pot surface surface started cracking. I know this wasn't my fault because I have other of other rice cookers including including my beloved but discontinued Kenmore Which is over 11 years old and has more miles on it than most people's car and it has never done that . The problem started happening within 3 months of heavily using it so I ordered another one off of Amazon com, switched the pots come, and headed sent back which I know is not a nice thing to do but I was angry angry that it would do that after such a short period of time and and I figured it was better was better that it was the instant pot Company's problem more than mine. Unfortunately the newer one is doing the exact same thing so instant pot has not corrected the problem.. It's a shame because I really love the way it performs but luckily I bought the warranty the until this time so they're getting it back they're getting it back. Hopefully the replacement We'll be improved

Is the Zojirushi any better about the browned crust on the bottom that every rice cooker I've used gets?

There's a good reason why all Asian families will have a Zojirushi brand rice cooker. Not only is the cooking quality and engineering superior, but in the unlikely event that something breaks or gets worn, spare parts are available for purchase and you won't have to buy an entire new unit. My Zojirushi rice cooker from 20+ years ago is still working like new.
