Zojirushi Rice Cooker

Zojirushi is the name of the renowned Japanese maker of kitchen appliances. The company's name is a Japanese phrase that translates as "elephant symbol" or "elephant mark"", and certainly if you have a look at the Zojirushi logo it indeed features a cute elephant image.

Zojirushi is a household name in Japan, and is also quite well-known around the globe. And regarding to the fact that rice is the staple food of Japan, and that in essence every single family owns a rice cooker, Zojirushi can be trusted to give you quality authentic rice that only a Japanese appliance maker can provide. Zojirushi rice cookers normally go for $100 to $200. There are not several low-end $50 Zojirushi units, but there is no denying that Zojirushis are a fantastic value for anybody who can afford the price.


Fuzzy Logic

Zojirushi puts out an impressively large selection of rice cookers so we are able to't examine all of them. But one best-selling model is the NS-TGC10 Micom 5 1/2 rice cooker warmer. I currently reside in Japan and I often see this rice cooker at cafes and small restaurants, just like in friends' homes. it's somewhat affordable with a standard price of $183, a flexible price which can be as low as $125 if you buy online.

It holds 5 and a half cups of rice, which is the most common size for home-use cookers in Japan. Fuzzy logic technology, which is used to adjust the temperature and duration of cooking in real time in response to the condition of your rice, is among the advanced features of this unit. Fuzzy logic technology gives you quality rice every time. The unit also features a number of programmed settings for various dishes over and above basic white rice, such as sushi rice, sweet rice, brown rice, and entirely different dishes like porridge, cake, etc. Its digital programming and its flexible timer are useful, as is its automatic warmer mode. I chose this unit as a good example because it's a farily standard high quality medium range Zojirushi rice cooker.

Neuro Fuzzy

One more example is the NS-ZCC10 5 and a half cup Neuro Fuzzy premium rice cooker. It has most of the features and functions of the NS-TG10 Micom, though it applies a more advanced type of technology known as Neuro Fuzzy Logic. Even to a great degree than Fuzzy Logic, Neuro Fuzzy Logic is said to make rice with precision accuracy every time, due to both the manufacturer and consumer reviews.

Just one thing to be well knowledgeable of when dealing with Zojirushi rice cooker: they use Japanese measurements, so 5 and a half cups of rice is more like 4 cups of rice as measued in the United States. To avoid confusion, it would be a good theme to use the measuring cups that came with your machine when counting out the cups of rice. If you do not, then you might be adding the wrong amount of water for the quanity of rice within.
