This electric rice cooker from Zojirushi provides useful capacity and handy details, not to mention the ability to keep rice moist, warm, and fresh for up to 12 hours after cooking is finished.

The cooker is a good size for small families or couples, handling between 1 and 5.5 cups of rice at a time and requiring cooking times ranging from 12 to 24 minutes. Operation is incredibly simple–just add rice and water, depress the power tab, and walk away. The lock-tight lid maximizes cooking conditions, and the cooker automatically switches to keep-warm mode when the rice is finished.

Indicator lights help you track what stage your rice is in, and the removable nonstick interior pot is clearly marked in cups and liters to guide you with quantities. The cooker’s durable housing has a low-key pastel floral design, and the inner lid and inner pot can both be removed for hand-washing. Clever extras on this model include a retractable power cord, a condensation collector, and a spatula holder. Zojirushi also throws in a measuring cup and spatula.

Customer Reviews

“This is what we have been missing all these years. We have used a regular rice cooker of a reputable brand (Black & Decker) for many years. It made okay rice, but we always assumed that better quality rice wasn’t within the reach of a household rice cooker, so we never looked for one. But the Zojirushi NS-RNC10 changed all that.” Portion of actual user review on Amazon.com

“This rice cooker has spoiled me.I have used different rice cookers,they just spilled starchy water all over my kitchen counter and rice always stuck to the pan.The lid locks tightly to hold in moisture,there is also a condensation cup to collect the water,so no mess to clean up after the rice is done.The best part is the rice never sticks to the pan and is perfect every time.It stays warm for a longer time,doesnt burn the rice or make it too dry.It works well of any kind of rice.cleaning the pan is a breeze.Clean it just as the manual says,it will last long.The retractable cord is an added convenience.If you have a family of up to 5,this serves well.This is a keeper.” Portion of actual user review on Amazon.com

“This rice maker has been the best that I’ve used. I’ve plunked down $20 for the Black and Decker special and have always gotten crispy rice on the bottom of the bowl.
Not the Zojirushi! This cooker is awesome, from the steam vent to the “dew collector” the little bells and whistles make it worth it. So far, we’ve gone through a 20# bag of rice with this cooker and each batch has come out perfect.
I think the pressure lid is what makes the rice cook so well. This cooker is also easy to clean and break down for cleaning. One more thing…retractable cord, it rocks! Zojirushi rules!” Portion of actual user review on Amazon.com
