I researched a lot of models before choosing the zojirushi. It's easy to use, super easy to clean (removable/washable plate filter and steam trap). I've used it every day for 6 months now and couldn't be happier. And one tip- go one size larger than you think you need- the unit isn't that much larger but the extra capacity comes in handy!!!

Never heard of the others. I purchased the Zorjirushi on the recommendation of an Asian friend. It's been perfect for us and worked perfectly from day one. If I had to buy another, I would not consider anything else.

Hi. I bought this rice cooker a couple years ago but had to return it because it's defective after using it once. You have to contact the seller in order for you to get an answer.

I really love my Cuisinart MSC-600. My husband and I live in our 5th wheel and it is the BEST for us. If you are just buying it just to brown foods that might be a good expensive. I bought it forthe slow cooker and love everything else it does. Our oven makes the trailer really hot when not in winter, so I use the cooker for everything, it steams beautifully and the browning is great. Good luck!

Great cooker . I have done rice ,macaroni etc.I have a 1000 watt microwave and it works fine . Lost instruction but after experimenting I cook for 6 min at power level 6 , then restart for 5 minutes at power level 5 ,that's the way I like my White rice .I believe the break in cooking although only second long reduces the over foam? Brown rice takes longer . It it's not quite done to your liking you can just start up again for a couple of minutes. the pot gets ho ,

Having spent a lot of time in Japan, I got used to the style of rice cooked there, which is (by design) stickier than we are used to here in North America. I bought a Japanese rice cooker with the understanding and expectation that it would cook stickier rice. Your Zojirushi rice will never turn out like the Minute Rice ads where each grain is a separate, light and fluffy unit - it's just not how it's meant to be. Some people don't care for the stickier consistency and you may be one of them. If that's the case, you would likely be happier with a different kind of cooker. It sounds as though the Sanyo model mentioned by "Zammer" may be more to your taste. "Good" is in the mouth of the beholder. :) Having spent a lot of time in Japan, I got used to the style of rice cooked there, which is (by design) stickier than we are used to here in North America.

I never used Zojirushi rice cooker. Before I bought, I read someome's comment that she cooked the same good rice with Rosewill rice cooker. She had used Zojirushi rice cooker before. I have another rice cooker - Panasonic. I feel the rice tasted the same no matter which one I use. Both work great!

I'm satisfied with this cooker. It works well. I've been cooked white rice, brown rice and miscellaneous grains, but no tried sushi rice.

This is hands-down, the best brand in rice cookers. I've had an earlier model over 20 years and I've had this unit almost two years. They incorporate sensors so that, instead of just having timed cook cycles, this machine can actually sense when the rice is done. I have used many types of rice and many recipes and each batch has been a success. It's very easy to clean and the inner cooking bowl is a heavy, non-stick material. You won't regret it.

Thought I was ,but I ended up buying the Nu wave as well. I hope you find out because it sure was an expensive pressure cooker that way. Did use the precision as a gift but still. I use my pressure pan alot now as just a nice big pan because I don't pressure cook that much. It works great and I didn't have to go buy another big pan for chili or whatever.

If you can buy rice cooker like TIGER; ZOJIRUSHI; PANASONIC; SANYO, that made in JAPAN, it is the best ! But if you get one's that had the same name BUT made in China? It just a copy cat one's and won't last long @ all. I had both "TIGER 4 cups & ZOJIRUSHI 10 cups" for over 25 years and both made in JAPAN. Just replaced the thermal fuse at home on one of them last year after 25 year of using it. " fuse cost $2" , it back on and still going strong.

The Cuisinart pressure cooker makes the best rice! Saute 2 cups of white rice in a little butter on the "saute" setting. Then add a little salt and 3 cups of water, pressure it on high for 3 minutes. Then let it come down naturally for 7 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. YUMMY!

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

I did some research as I was unsure whether to buy an electric pressure cooker and all the reviews were aginst the electric ones which is why I bought the Kuhn Rikon and it is well worth the money.

Buy a pressure cooker. With Cuisinart CPC-600AMZ 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker, Brushed Stainless and Matte Black , I put 1 cup rice with 1.3 cups water and set the cooker to high pressure for 3 minutes. It takes a total of abut 15 minutes; the 3 minute setting only means that the food will cook at maximum pressure for 3 minutes. Some time is spent on achieving that pressure and then cooling back to normal pressure so that you can open the cooker.

I am wanting one of these pressure cookers and saw your rice question. When I use my rice cooker, you get much better results when you rinse the rice before placing in the cooker. So that might be the case with a pressure cooker. That being said, whenever I make rice on the stovetop I don't measure the water. I fill the pot up like for pasta, add the rice and have it come to a boil. Then I turn it down a notch so it won't boil over, check it in about 20 minutes, and drain in a strainer. Let it drain, rinse with hot water then fluff with fork. It turns out fluffy every time.
