I have a great appreciation for Japanese products due to their exceptional quality and durability. Recently, I bought two rice cookers-one being the ZOJIRUSHI NS-ZCC10WZ Neuro Fuzzy, and the second, ZOJIRUSHI NS-TSC10XJ model, has the additional feature of baking cakes. I'm curious about your thoughts on the best Japanese or Korean rice varieties and where I can purchase them. Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@jasminshum8560]

Are you close to an Asian grocery store? If so, there should be plenty of selection there. For me, I'm not too picky on my rice and I usually buy the Thai Jasmine rice. Sorry not much help on the Japanese or Korean rice selection.

I got this for myself right before Christmas. I heard it also can keep your rice warm and moist up to twelve hours. So cool!

[@jasminshum8560]

I normally do quick cooking and it takes about 20 min.

[@dwehola]

Thanks for the review. I've been doing research on Zoji rice cookers and I want to purchase this one. I am debating whether to get the 5.5 cup or the 10 cup version that you have. Typically we cook 3 cups at a time. It's nice to have the extra capacity for when cooking for a larger group. Do you feel that the quality for 3 cups is the same or lower quality than when you are cooking 6 to 10 cups of rice?

[@jasminshum8560]

Hi dwehola, honestly we are a household of 4 and most of the time we only cook about 2 cups of rice. Sometimes if I'm just cooking for myself, I have even done 1 cup of rice and I personally couldn't tell any difference in the quality of rice. Hope this helps.

How often do you cook rice at your house? Since the cooker last for 12yr

[@jasminshum8560]

Arlene Fang we used it quite often. My best guesstimate is 300 times every year or could be more

[@davidheth4446]

I bought the Chinese manufactured "Zojirushi NS-MYC10 Micom Fuzzy Logic 5.5 Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer" in 2003 because at the time it was half the price of the Japan made model. It has been working perfectly for many years (still using it in 2020) , the most important thing is to clean the Vent & Gasket after each use.

[@jasminshum8560]

That's good to know. Thanks for the info David!

[@celsalvacion2048]

Thank you for the review about this product. Does it take up much of your kitchen countertop, the 10 cups size? Also, is it legit from Japan if purchase from Amazon? Thank you :)

[@jasminshum8560]

I think best to contact Amazon or seller to verify manufacturing country. Also it should offer dimensions on the website.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

hello, my name is Helmut from Germany and I have a question regarding the Zojirushi rice cookers please. is it possible to make super soft, well cooked white rice with soft grains or super fluffly not firm basmati rice in this rice cooker? I have severe chronic bowel issues and I can only eat very soft and fluffly rice. I´m looking for a kitchen tool,machine where I can cook soft rice in bulk (300-400g raw weight) I appreciate every tipp or suggestion or a review if the Zojirushi rice cookers are a helpful tool for cooking really soft rice without texture but not total mush. thank you very much for your valuable time and help Best regards, Helmut

[@jasminshum8560]

There is a porridge option too.

[@wazzzzzzzzzzeg]

If you have chance to buy another rice cooker, the I can recommend the Zojirushi NS-ZLH10-WZ (it is the same as NS-ZCC10 just it operates on 230 V).

[@aylakayliciaay]

I followed the manual instructions and my jasmine rice came out mushy. Do you have any suggestions for cooking jasmine rice in the zojisushi?

[@jasminshum8560]

Did you use the measuring rice cup that came with the rice cooker? In addition, if you cook let say 1 cup of white rice, after you wash the rice, put the washed rice in the rice pot, and then fill up with water to the 1 cup white rice line indicated on the side of the pot. In other words, make sure the total volume of your washed rice + water to the line that corresponds to the volume of the uncooked rice at the beginning.

[@samuelmanny6231]

Is it better to buy 3cup zojirushi rice cooker for 3-5 people anf just cook again or the bigger one and warm the 5cup rice for days? How long can you warm the rice and still tastes great?

[@jasminshum8560]

Being a health advocate, I would always recommend making fresh food as often as possible. I believe in my experience, if I let the rice cooker keep warm overnight or 8 hours or so, some of the rice already got dry, and in my opinion, it doesn't taste good anymore.

[@daviddu6643]

Thanks for this video .My panasonic rice cooker just retired. I want to buy this model but can you provide the measurements of the retractable cord? Really appreciate it. Thank you!

[@jasminshum8560]

Apologize for the late response. It's about 46.5 inches (not including the plug part).

[@petmensan]

What is the point of getting a zojirushi and just using the quick cook setting? You may as well get one at half the price

[@jesseobrien5864]

Zojirushi NS-WAC18-WD 10-Cup is this model just as good?

[@jasminshum8560]

I don’t have this model myself so cannot comment. Maybe others can provide feedback.

[@melnee]

So very glad for your video, was able to update my amazon order just in time to the product you have that is confirmed made in Japan

[@jasminshum8560]

I'm so glad!

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

It’s written on the unit. Geeze..

[@tlee927]

you need to rinse your rice until the water is clear. when it's murky like what's shown in your video, the rice does not taste as great. also, rinse the rice in another container, not in the zojirushi pot, because over time the rubbing will damage the non-stick layer.

[@tlee927]

@shinto666 hi. i believe you can set the timer to cook the ingredients up to 12 or 24 hours (at least 12 for sure). the rice tastes as good as it is being cooked on spot. some people believe that soaking the rice makes it tastier. imo it is true for brown rice. soaking it over 8+ hours makes the inside softer. however, if the weather is hot and humid, doing so would be a concern for me because food can go bad.

[@Littlefrogintheocean]

What size is your rice cooker ?

[@jasminshum8560]

Mine is 10 cup, 1.8 Liters model.

[@datg1234]

How many times have you replaced the bowl. Did it start to peel?

[@jasminshum8560]

We replaced it once. I had to admit that we scratch it unintentionally by using utensils. But if you take really good care of it, I don't think it peels (at least not often).

[@kg1966]

Thanks for the review.

[@gnostie]

Has anyone tried heating up frozen rice in a Zojirushi?

[@jasminshum8560]

No, not specifically. But I assume it would work as well when you reheat it in the cooker.

[@Shuggies]

Just bought the 5 1/2 c machine. Actually got it in the mail today ,,,, had never seen Amazon deliver on Sunday before 🤷🏼‍♀️... thanks for this vid... can you please explain to me the difference in Sweet rice and Sushi rice. I always thought they were the same... 🤦‍♀️

[@jasminshum8560]

My understanding is that sweet rice is glutinous rice/sticky rice. This is the type of rice Thai restaurants use for Mango and Sticky Rice Dessert. Sushi rice is regular white rice but is short grain. Jasmine rice is white rice but long grain. Hope that helps.

i'm still using a 11 year old made in japan same brand basic rice cooker (1 button) that my mom got me 11 years ago. :) i used it actively for at least 7-8 years....now bringing it back out....i also bought this micro one you have here. i found that it's too sticky/wet ..i like my rice dryer...but i'll give it another chance if i can find my cord ...:(

[@jasminshum8560]

Hope you will be able to find your cord soon. Perhaps reduce the amount of water you put in.

[@TheSubho1980]

Great video. Keep doing good work. Question: What's the smallest amount you can cook with this model? Can you cook half a cup of rice?

[@jasminshum8560]

Thanks Subho! It's not that you cannot cook with 0.5 cup but it forms a very thin layer and the rice would probably get dry up pretty fast if you keep it warm for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that mine is a 1.8L (10 cup) model. If you want to do 0.5 cup of rice, I would probably recommend the 1.0 L (5.5 cup) model. Hope this helps!

12 years or more. Still cooking the perfect rice for us.

[@undeadkitty334]

Thanks, thats great to hear. Definitely interested in getting one.

[@tlee927]

mine is over 15 years, neuro fuzzy, same model. i am getting the new version soon though, with the pressure cooking option. my original white neuro fuzzy needs new parts, because over time food particles start to block the air flow, making it hard to keep cooked rice warm in the pot. it used to take days before the rice would turn brown and hard. but now it only lasts 12 hours. replacement parts cost about $120ish - a new non-stick pot, an inner top lid, and the plastic spatula holder on the side.

[@Pochi1]

I clicked your amazon link to purchase this after I watched your review. Hopefully a little bit of that money goes towards you.

@@jasminshum8560 We just made our first batch and it was super easy and the rice was light and fluffy. I got it for my 11 year daughter so she can make her own rice for sushi and rice balls.

Hi A M, I haven't tried the Induction Heating Rice Cooker so wouldn't be able to give you my honest opinion. I'm surprised my husband didn't get the Induction model since he likes trying out new gadgets but perhaps he didn't know about it. Maybe you can let us know. I read some review from the Induction Heating model and noticed that some ppl said that it took them an hour to cook white rice and 2 hours to cook brown rice.

[@komradekokonut1571]

Im sorry to tell you this chief, but your rice is not properly washed, as the water appears to be very cloudy it indicates that there is still a considerable amount of starch present, I suggest you wash your rice up to three times and rinse with water until the water no longer appears to be cloudy

[@thegreatthingsinlife3114]

I definitely wash my rice 3 times or more but usually the water is still a bit cloudy. I don't remember how many times I washed it in the videos but it's for demo only. You all get to decide how many times you want to rinse your raw rice. I usually do it 3-4 times.

[@DonegalOverlanding]

"Not sticky!" while showing us rice which is clearly all stuck together. I want rice that is not stuck to the rice next to it.

[@goPJgoPJ]

I just got one and as soon as you say 'really quick' I realized, that this is really a paid promotion. It takes an hour for plain white rice.

[@jasminshum8560]

Honestly, I have not received any commission up to this point, but it might change in the future. I really just want to share what I used and liked with others. This is a quick cook button which only takes 20 min to cook white rice and this is what I used everyday (I don't wait for an hour for my rice to be cooked). Not sure which rice cooker you got but I would recommend you take a look at your manual first.
