This doesn't have a slow cooker function like the big boys do, but I have a small galley kitchen, so I can't buy the gigantic one.
I've literally never had any problems with any kind of rice. This works for literally any kind of rice. It keeps the rice warm, almost hot for several hours. So I sometimes make rice at breakfast and eat the rest at lunch if I'm feeling lazy.
It also has steelcut oatmeal, quinoa and CAKE functions. I've not cooked any of those, but I'm definitely interested in a cake out of this bad boy. It comes with a pretty detailed instruction manual including some recipes.
Cleaning is easy, the little bowl is non-stick, so just wait for it to cool, wash it like you would any other non-stick pan and put it back in for storage. The top of the lid is also removable and should be cleaned after every use.
It comes with its own rice scoop and rice cup. Do not use any other cup, and don't use an actual measuring cup, because this thing is NOT a full cup. It's roughly 3/4 cup, so if you are the sort to misplace stuff in your kitchen, either buy another one (they're about $8) or just use 3/4 cup as your measurement until you find the right one. Also use the measurement in the bowl, it's there for a reason. You don't have to make this complicated, ignore the directions on the bag, use the bowl.
Once it cools, make sure to wipe out any rice that escaped from the bowl, because it will burn. It takes about half an hour after you turn it off to be fully cool to the touch.
And yes, it does sing to you when you turn it on, and when it's done, there's a different song. You cannot change it. Listen to the song of the rice cooker. Love the song of the rice cooker. Do a little dance when it sings, and eat rice.
The pot is HEAVY duty, both sides have the measurements for the recommended water levels. It's really easy to take apart the pieces to clean it properly. It plays a little tune when it starts and ends its cooking, and I was pleasantly surprised by that. Super easy to program the time if you want to keep it plugged in so you can set a timer for it to start. Which I do a lot since I get home very late and I have fresh hot rice waiting for me. The warming feature was above and beyond my expectations. I've tested it out on purpose (36 hours) and not on purpose (nearly a week), and while I wouldn't eat the long term one, I tried the rice each day I got home with my testing, and it was still moist, fluffy, not dry. Amazing.
I haven't given it a full 5 because I haven't tried out all the features and my only complaint is, you really do need to fluff after the rice gets done cooking. I could get away with not doing it in the cheaper ones oddly. The days I am home and fluff it right away and then keep it warm until I'm ready, the rice is just better. Without the fluffing, it's definitely not bad, but just not as great as it is when you can get to it right away. I usually just cook a single cup of rice at a time, but have done 1.5 cups and 2 cups, and still no problems.
If you're looking for a rice cooker to be a part of usual arsenal of things, I would recommend this. It's not really a common thing in a lot of American houses, and usually if they have one it's just a little cheap model, which is totally fine. But this clears up a burner and one less thing to worry about when I am cooking, and the fact that it is programmable (a must for me, maybe not you) is great. And it makes great rice without much thought.
Top reviews from other countries
Being empty nesters, we opted to buy a smaller rice cooker to allow cooking smaller portions and to take up less counter space. The ZOJI NL_BAC05SB suits our needs precisely.
This Zoji has a three-cup capacity, and while smaller than others in the line, nothing is omitted in the design. The cooker has a tried-and-true triple heating unit and a thick non-stick cooking pot to ensure uniform cooking.
Cleaning is easy, with all parts easily accessed. Keeping your rice cooker spotless is essential for uniform cooking. I found the steam vent on my older model challenging to clean, but this newer unit has a removable steam vent that can be cleaned easily.
This versatile cooker makes various kinds of rice, quinoa and the best steel-cut oatmeal you will ever wake up. Mix a batch before you go to bed, set the timer, and your Goji will whistle you a tune telling you your favourite breakfast food is hot and piping and ready to eat.
One thing to remember with the smaller-sized unit is that most cookbooks offering one-pot meals base their recipes on the 6-cup models. The three-cup model is too small to hold the different ingredients. The ability to cook a family meal in one pot was convenient when juggling work and family, but it is not a big deal now that I am retired and have time to enjoy cooking.
Some are concerned that the Zoji has an internal battery that has to be replaced by the factory in Japan. While that is technically true, the battery in my first machine lasted almost ten years, and anyone with basic soldering skills can replace the battery in ten minutes.
I’ve been asked why buy a dedicated rice cooker when you can purchase a cheaper, more versatile pressure-based cooker that cooks faster. I’ve tried those, and they do a great job at certain meals. But none of them come close to delivering the quality of the rice, oatmeal and quinoa I get from my Zoji. It is reliable, simple to operate and consistently provides high-quality hot rice, oatmeal, or quinoa every time.
And yes, the Zoji will make you a cute little mini cake for dessert.
