Our verdict

A small microcomputer-controlled rice cooker with menus for brown rice, oatmeal and quinoa, aimed at one or two eaters. The bowl is small, so a family dinner or a crowd needs a bigger model.

Overview

Zojirushi pairs a microcomputer with heating elements around the bowl, then adjusts the cook for the selected menu. When the cycle finishes, the cooker switches to its warming mode.

Menu options go well beyond white rice, covering sushi rice, steel cut oatmeal, quinoa and even cake. The limitation is volume, plus a wipe-clean care routine rather than a dishwasher.

Who it's for

Couples and singles who eat rice often and care about texture benefit from the menu choices. A big family will fill this bowl in one sitting.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Menus for brown rice and grains
  • Heater wraps the bowl on three sides
  • Warming mode after the cycle
  • Spatula and measuring cup included
Cons
  • Small cooking capacity
  • No steam basket listed
  • Wipe-clean care, not dishwasher safe

Performance notes

The microcomputer reads the cooking stage and adjusts heat, while the heating elements under, beside and over the bowl spread warmth evenly. Rinsing the rice and using the supplied measuring cup holds the water ratio consistent.
