Zojirushi NS-TGC18 10-Cup Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, Stainless Steel

 (25 customer reviews)

I have had several of the cheaper on/off rice cookers. They worked ok for white rice, but anything else - forget it. Even with white rice, the bottom consistently got crusty and brown. The stay warm features on those types of cookers have a tendency to run too hot, thus scalding the bottom layer.

Now I have a Zojirushi! I rinse some rice in the morning throw it in the Zoji, throw in a little butter and sea salt, set the timer and I am done! Any type of rice! I have cooked Jasmine, Basmati, Brown, Wild, Sticky, and various blends - all of them PERFECT every time.

My mom taught me the secret to better rice is to let it soak (especially sticky) before you cook it. This is made so easy because once you've added the rice and set the timer, it soaks all day.

I love that you set the timer for when you want the rice to BE READY, not when you want it to start cooking. That way, I can time the rice perfectly to coincide with dinner - brilliant!

Excellent choice! I've purchased several rice cookers in the past. The last one I had was a Tiger Brand which I was very disappointed with. This by far was the best rice cooker I've ever had. We cook rice everyday and although it takes a little longer than the other brands I've used, the rice comes out "PERFECT" each time and does not get spoiled easily. One of the best feature is that you can actually see the measurement inside the pot.The pot in itself is heavy duty.
It's a little pricy but you get what you pay for and this Zojirushi is definitelyworth the money. It also has two different tunes when you initially press the cooking button and after it's done...very cute! We all love it and will definitely recommend to anyone.

My husband and I only had rice at restaurants or at dinner parties but very rarely at home. A nurse who ran a weight loss program told me that rice cookers steam rice in a healthier way then when you boil it on the stove top or in the microwave. You could eat healthier and better tasting rice at home with a good rice cooker.

We wanted a Zojirushi for their reputation and a versatile model with more features was ideal. The price difference between a 5 cup and 10 cup rice cooker is less than a $20 so buying the 10-cup is a no-brainer. With a 2-cup minimum it's no problem with their stay warm feature that will keep your rice perfectly fresh all day and night. Also a 10-cup is good for entertaining! The Zojirushi NS-TGC18 model is one of 2 rice cooker models with a cake baking option. Not having to turn my oven on to bake a cake in the summer is attractive.

The cord on this model coils into the base when not in use with a simple tug of the plug. Very...Read more
