Review: Get it! - After doing a lot of comparing between Tiger and Zojirushi for a new rice cooker, I ended up deciding on this 3-cup rice cooker. It is the perfect size when cooking for just 1 or 2 people. I liked the features of the rice cooker - the different cooking modes...although I haven't used any other than white rice and quick...but I like having the options. The pot is non-stick and we'll made, so it is easy to clean and keep clean. I also like that it came with a rice paddle (shamoji) and measuring cup (Japanese rice measuring cups are smaller than 1 cup in the US. I am used to measuring the water to rice ratio 1:1 for white rice (with my old rice cooker), and I tried using the inner markings on the inside of the pot...but I felt it was a little mushy for my taste...so I went back to measuring the water I put into the pot. It is seriously easy to use and easy to disassemble to wash. For some reason...I really want to try the cake recipe...making cake in a rice cooker is intriguing to me. Pros: easy to use, easy to clean, good cooking modes, cooks my japanese short grain rice just the way I like it, great price, good size for 1 or 2 people Cons: none (except maybe measure your water instead of using the lines on the inside of the pot) (not a deal-breaker for me) Next recipe: kamameshi!
Review: Surprisingly worth it. - Our old rice cooker finally died after 20 years of solid service. After slogging through terrible reviews on the current batch of low-cost offerings, I finally came across this Zojirushi Micom. It was about 2.5x the price of the cheaper items. In today's market, finding quality is often difficult and it's not always certain that paying more will get you more, but the reviews were solid and I decided to take a chance. Here's the thing. Back in the day, I used to laugh about fuzzy-logic in appliances, but I'm not laughing now. It is absolutely NOT a joke or hyperbole to say that the rice made in this cooker is better than any I've ever had. And the oatmeal. Steel-cut oatmeal comes out insanely perfectly, really full of flavor and excellent texture. I know, it sounds like I work for their marketing team but this is a completely honest review from a real customer. This model is perfect for one or two people. No more wasteful leftovers from cooking too much rice. It makes insanely simple but profoundly delicious one-pot rice meals. Simple menu interface, flexible operation modes, very well made. We call it "Zo-chan". No, really. Anthropomorphizing it helps remind me to treat it with respect and keep it clean and perfectly maintained for many years of anticipated use, like the other important kitchen tools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The very best small cooker - hand’s down
*by B***R on July 17, 2020*

This is the greatest rice cooker I have EVER used without comparison. It’s a touch pricey but we eat a lot of rice and different sorts of rice. For us it’s a perfect size - we often cook 1c uncooked for a meal and a big cooker just doesn’t suit us. What’s great is that it makes perfect short, medium, long grain place brown and other grains. Long grain bagged isn’t our most common, medium grain Arroz Rico is our preferred and it cooks it up to perfection. It also does porridge (oatmeal) exceptionally. A huge plus is the timer that lets me set a finish time on my rice so I can worry with other meal details and just let it do it’s thing. Compared to my old pop-up, there’s no comparison. Compared to a pot on the stovetop - it’s just way convenient, perfect cooking, and doesn’t use a burner. I think of all of the rice(s) I’ve ever cooked and wonder now why I never made the leap. If you cook rice with any regularity, you want a Zojirushi. If you eat rice every couple months it’s probably not cost effective. Super easy to clean and doesn’t take as much counter as the toaster. Bust kitchen investment I’ve made this year!
