Where have you been all my life ?!?! [Posted on 2008-09-08]
I recently purchased this very rice cooker. With as much Hanmi steamed rice that I eat, I easily justified the expense. Incidentally, I found the lowest price right here at Amazon.com - simply couldn't beat it!

This unit is one amazing little computerized cooker. I didn't think it would be possible to have the restaurant quality rice at home. On my first try, the rice was even better than that!

What a delight to have it come out so beautifully cooked and ready to be served.

I simply cannot emphasize how pleased and impressed I am with Zojirushi.

Simply the BEST !

This is the BEST!! [Posted on 2008-09-09]
After burning out 3 pots trying, I quit making rice until I could find a cooker that was the right size (small), was easy to clean, and wouldn't break after 3 uses (National). When i saw the Zojirushi could also make steel cut oats I was sold. I have used it for 2 weeks and made sushi rice, white rice and steel cut oats. The timer is great! It has my breakfast ready and waiting when I wake up and comes out perfectly every time. The rice has also been flawless. I love the size (same size as my toaster) and the retractable cord. The bowl inside is non-stick, and removable making it a breeze to clean. This is a winner!! It is perfectly sized for singles or couples. I could not be happier!

ps: Best steel cut recipe is 1:2.5 (oats to water), programmed on 'Porridge' setting.

Great for Singles [Posted on 2008-09-15]
I've always cooked rice on the stovetop and I never thought I would prefer the rice cooker to my tried and true method. However, my method doesn't work as well when a person is cooking just enough rice for one. If I cooked enough to get consistant results, I wasted too much. Also, I switched from an electric coil stove to a flat top, and every pot of rice boiled over.

This cooker is the perfect solution. I can make just enough for me without sacrificing quality. It is very easy, and the brown rice is the best I've ever tasted. No boiled-over messes, extremely convenient and easy to clean while using very little counter space. I expect to use this cooker every day.

Love this cute thing...! [Posted on 2008-09-21]
I wanted a SMALL rice-cooker for my office, so I can eat lunch in a more healthy way and in a less expensive way. I like it a lot. I've made brown rice, white rice, and oatmeal in it. Someday soon I'll read the manual and figure out how to make the silly music go away. (I saw that that is do-able...) It plays twinkle twinkle little star or something, at various times, for various reasons, and I work in a library and this just won't do. It is sleek. It is gorgeous. I wish it didn't cost so much, but I'm SURE it's better and longer-lasting than a $30 or $40 alternative.

Why did I wait so long? [Posted on 2008-10-02]
For years, I had one of those inexpensive rice cookers that always burned half the rice. I kept looking at this rice cooker, but didn't take the plunge for a few years--the cost made me hesitate. It's been worth every penny, and you shouldn't hesitate if you're looking to make smaller amounts. I've made all kinds of rice, as well as steel cut oats, and the quality is always superb. It's easy to use, program, and clean. Highly recommend!
