Neuro Fuzzy 5.5 Cup Rice Cooker & Warmer: Zojirushi NS-ZCC10, 16 Settings, Automatic Shut-Off, Nonstick, White

This rice cooker is fantastic! This is our second one, the first lasted over 12 years before the screen went dark. Whether making standard white rice, sushi rice, brown rice, congee or even rice pudding the neuro logic makes it perfect every time.

We cook a lot of rice, so we decided to upgrade to something we could use for a long time. The quality of rice from this is wayyy better than our cheap one, well worth the investment.

I bought this rice cooker in March of 2005, so it's about to turn 20! Still looks like new and works perfectly. The internal battery went out a long time ago, but it's only for delay timer functions and if you plug the cooker in and set the clock each time if you need delayed cooking, that works fine. I'm actually not sure why you would want or need the battery. I have been careful cleaning everything over the years, and it still looks brand new. The cooking pot doesn't have a single scratch on it and always cleans up easily. My favorite rice is Basmati cooked like in India or Persia, and I cook both white and brown as both are delicious. The white rice cooks perfectly on the White Rice/Soft setting, and the Brown on the Brown setting. With Basmati, I wash/rinse the rice 8 or 9 times, then soak it for 30 minutes and drain. Put the rice in the pot, then I add fresh water to the appropriate lines indicated in the pot, add a teaspoon of salt, and cut up a tablespoon of butter into small chunks and place on the top of the rice, then cook. The white Basmati takes 55 minutes to cook, the brown takes about 1.5 hours. Both types of rice turn out perfectly, just like you want Basmati to turn out. I have also cooked regular rice, Jasmine rice and Sushi rice and they all turn out great. This is a fantastic rice cooker and I would buy it again. The longevity of this appliance is amazing!

Cooks rice well, however the warming function does not work. It's as if the tempreture isn't lowered and it just continues to cook. The reason you get a high end rice cooker is for the warming function. Quite disapointing.

I love how many different setting there are, the retractable cord, and how easy it is to clean everything! And obviously it’s great at cooking rice.

We replaced our 20 year old zojirushi with this one and are very happy with our purchase.

I bought this rice cooker in 2009 and have been using it several times a week since then. It has simply made perfectly cooked rice every single time since then with no problems. We cook black rice, short grain white rice and short grain semibrown rice. We also cook a mix of rice and lentils and rice with coconut milk, and occasionally other stuff. We did have to replace the bowl since our kids scratched it up, but other than that it's been a near-daily workhorse for 15 years without a hiccup.

Great cooker. It's a set and forget appliance. Experimenting with different rices and it's a learning curve. Zojirushi needs to put out a cookbook. Especially like adding ingredients to my rices. Makes steel Cut Oats and Oatmeal perfectly which I love. Made a fantastic Rice with Miso Salmon.

Absolutely the best, easiest rice I have EVER made.

Great rice cooker! Had it for 4 months, love it. Makes cooking rice easy, especially Tamaki gold rice. Also great for oatmeal.

Great rice cooker! Makes perfect rice every time, whether it's long grain white, short grain brown, mixed, or steel cut oats. Highly recommend!

I bought this about a year ago to replace the Zojirushi NS-JCC10, which I had had for more than 20 years and loved. It still worked fine, but the pan's teflon coating had worn away and replacements were no longer available; otherwise, I'd have kept it. The NS-ZCC10 is a very similar machine. It makes rice dependably and properly. It is the kind of appliance one seldom has to think about, in the best sense: you put rice and water in it (and in my case, steel cut oats), push a few buttons, and the machine does the rest, worry-free. However, a few changes in the layout and UX are (in my opinion) inferior to the JCC10. Instead of a pop-out steam vent, plug the ZCC10 has an aluminum plate (or perhaps it's some other metal) that probably offers more protection. It has to be washed, like the old pop-out plug, after each use. The cooker will not close unless the plate is in place, which means that unless you immediately dry and reinsert the plate after washing it, your cooker sits open until you do. As a consequence, letting the plate air-dry, though more convenient, isn't a sanitary option. Also, the actual buttons on this model need to be pushed *very* hard in order to work. It's not a big deal, but often it's necessary to hold the cooker in place with one hand while mashing a button with another; otherwise, the cooker will slide along the counter due to the pressure of your finger and hand. The old model's timer button, if you pushed it after setting the timer, would display the current time. The new model doesn't have this feature. Once you've set the timer, the display will only show the finish time to which you've set it. And the display only shows 24-hour "military time," e.g. 1:30 PM is always 13:30. Neither of these things is a big del, but I preferred the older model's better array of time displays. I'd also add that, while in theory it's nice to have so many settings, in practice I only really need three or four of them. Overall, it's an excellent machine that does its job well. My only quibbles are minor.

Bought this to replace my old fuzzy logic steamer, and so far it has not disappointed. The rice comes out perfect every time, even on the "quick" setting.

Amazing product. I love how straightforward it is to make delicious rice every time. It keeps rice warm and fresh for hours at a time without drying it out.

I had been eyeing this cooker for about a year, when I finally decided to get it. I am so excited to say it is perfect! I make rice only about once a week, but the machine gives me ideal results every time and is very easy to use. I'm totally happy with it.

This rice cooker is a game changer. It makes perfect rice every time with easy instructions. The little song at the start and finish is a nice toch. I'll never go back to stovetop or microwave cooking.

Expensive but worth it. I have cooked brown and Jasmine rice so far and the texture is just perfect. No need to add oil into your rice. Another thing I give a 1k thumbs up is the cleaning. Best kitchen toy investment :)

Absolutely fantastic rice cooker, makes perfect rice every time and is very simple to use!

I recently traveled to Japan for the first time for a conference, and became a bit obsessed with the traditional "Japanese breakfast" (grilled fish, pickled veggies, rice and miso soup). I had it literally every day for the duration of my 10 day trip. The rice I was making since coming home didn't compare to the gorgeous little pearls I ate in Japan, so I wanted to try investing in a nice cooker. From the moment I popped the lid to fluff my first batch, I knew I had something special. Even the simple act of stirring the rice in the pot brought me back to my trip, the gorgeous tack of the rice in the bowl unlike anything I've made on my own. The flavor and texture are perfect, timeless. Despite my usually "American" diet, I've found myself making rice 3-4 days a week now... it's safe to say I'm a bit addicted to the rice this thing makes. It absolutely is worth the every penny (in fact, I'd say it's a bargain for the quality)

We have been using our Neuro Fuzzy for a month now and we’re absolutely in love. Over the years we’ve had many different rice steamers, an insta pot, tried stovetop…but nothing has come close to cooking rice this beautifully. It’s been perfect every single time. Super easy to use, sleek enough to permanently live on our counter. We’ll never buy another brand of cooker again. Worth every penny!!
