Great things about Zojirushi Rice Cookers
The Zojirushi brand always comes up whenever I ask people what rice cooker they prefer. This reflects the quality of these excellent cookers. Zojirushi rice cookers are the most popular in the Japanese rice cooker market, and are increasingly becoming a household name in many countries, including the United States.
I have tried many rice cookers before, and I must say that the rice cookers by Zojirushi top them all. These rice cookers have a wide range of features. There are basic rice cookers for people with limited budget, or those who do not need lots of features.
Zojirushi also has something for people who are willing to spend extra cash to enjoy advanced features. It offers the best rice cooker that fits all your rice cooking needs.
Zojirushi offers many different features throughout their rice cooker line. Below are the features that I really like:
Fuzzy technology
Fuzzy technology is common in many Zojirushi rice cookers. As a mater of fact, virtually all mid to higher-end models come with this technology. If you?re very picky about the way the rice turns out, then get a Zojirushi rice cooker that has the Fuzzy Logic technology.
What?s Neuro Fuzzy? It is the latest version of the Fuzzy Logic technology. Both features work very well, though.
Rice cookers with Neuro Fuzzy can regularly update the cooking time and temperature. It makes sure that the rice cooker makes the finest pot of rice. This technology also helps lessen the effects of poor measuring and other human errors.
Induction heating technology
The induction heating technology is present in the top of the line Zojirushi products. Induction heating means consistent heating, thus consistent rice cooking.
This allows uniform cooking on the edge of the cooking pot and in the center. A Zojirushi rice cooker with induction heating feature will cook your favorite rice to perfection.
Warming feature
A Zojirushi cooker?s warming feature is a deal breaker. Zojirushi is one of the few rice cookers that has warming capabilities. I say go for rice cookers with a warming feature.
At the very least, rice cookers with this feature keeps your rice warm for many hours after cooking it. What?s more, other Zojirushi rice cookers have a re-warming ability. This allows you to re-heat your rice or any other food in the cooker.
But you should only use this feature if you are making large amount of rice. Otherwise, your rice will come out too dry. Dry and course rice is not my thing.
Uniqueness
I like the rice cookers from Zojirushi because they try to innovate. The Rizo, the latest rice cooker unit from Zojirushi, was designed to go well with the American kitchen.
Another cool model is the i-pot. Here, the rice cooker will text you on your cell phone if you have not used it in a while.
