Zojirushi NP-NWC10XB Pressure Induction Heating Rice Cooker & Warmer 5.5 Cup (Uncooked): 11 Settings, Nonstick, 1240W

I make rice a lot, love to make our in batches and freeze for later. A rice cooker is a must for me. I've not had the chance to try all functions yet just sweet/sushi rice and it comes out nice and holds together, easy to pick up with fork or chopsticks. It freezes well and retains texture after defrosting.

We had a Zojirushi induction rice cooker that worked flawlessly for almost 20 years. Finally, the battery needed replacing, and even though the cooker was still working, we decided to upgrade and treat ourselves to the pressure induction cooker. I wondered if we would notice a difference, and yes we did! The grains of rice are slightly plumper, a little more chewy, and absolutely more delicious. We also like the increased options for Thai rice, steel cut oats, etc. So nice to put the oats to cook the night before and have hot, delicious oatmeal ready the next morning. I highly recommend this model. It is well worth the price.

We had the same cooker before and this one was a replacement, after the power surge "burned" the cooker. So, obviously we like this one, with heavy inner pot and Umami setting. The only additional settings I would like are "steam" and "scorch", instead of oatmeal and congee.

Pros: The rice quality is very good. There was day that I left the rice in there for 48 hours and it's still soft. It takes about an hour to cook the rice. Although the inner lining is Platinum, it could still easy be scratched, so I have to be careful anyway. Con: closing of the lid is a little hard. My kids complained that its not easy to close the lid.

My dream come true to be able to have the perfect sticky rice. Worth every penny.

It makes PERFECT rice. Expensive though, but our last Zojirushi lasted twenty years.

First class cooker. Fool proof rice and worth every penny.

Makes better rice than most restaurants! It may not be the cheapest cooker but it’s worth every dollar.

I was initially a bit put off by the price, but now I feel it was worth it! making rice on the stove used to be a hassle, so much that I said I would probably only use it 2 times a week on the survey. but now, I've used it probably twice as much! the rice comes out perfect every time! the recommended maintenance is a bit intense, but its worth it to keep it in top condition.

Perfect rice every time. Love this machine so much bought a second one for our cabin. The elevation is much higher there than our home and I wondered if rice would cook differently there but it comes out perfect. Also love the steel cut oats setting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolute love it. Can’t live without it. Got the larger size and no regrets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GABA rice this machine makes is delicious. We have been making it daily since we bought the rice cooker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes the best brown rice and i never have to worry. I can't wait to use all the other features, but so far great device. I recommend to anyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this as a wedding gift. They already had a rice cooker but guess what the other one went to the in-laws who now visit them for dinner! Need I say more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing! Can leave on warm all day and rice is still perfect. Don't know how I lived without it.

This is my second NP-NWC, the other one is the 5 cup unit of the same model. My son has the 5 cup model and uses it all the time. We love the quality of the cookers and the rice.

Love it. Shipping was much faster than anticipated. Arrived nicely packaged. Works flawlessly. The wife was apprehensive about purchasing the larger model and the higher end one at that. No regrets. Would not hesitate to purchase again. If the house burns down, this is one of the first appliances I replace. I don't own a toaster yet, but by God I have one of these.

Noticeable improvement compared to old rice cooker. As someone that makes rice twice a week this is definitely worth it. The texture quality of the rice is noticeable, and all grains are cooked perfectly and uniform. My previous rice cooker some grains would be dryer than others and you could tell which parts of the rice were cooked better. For this rice cooker all if it is in great quality. When it comes to the negatives this rice cooker does take around an hour (35 minutes on quick, but still much better than my previous rice cooker which took 20 minutes) to cook. You also have to clean more parts. However you can cook the rice and leave it on warm for up to 12 hours, and you can use and extended warming that lasts much longer. This allowed us to eat the rice in great condition without having to heat it up on a microwave the next day. Also the water to rice measurement is very forgiving, for my previous rice cooker if the water was just slightly above or below the correct amount it would be noticeable dry or soggy. In the end I would highly recommend this to anyone that cooks rice at least once a week for a family or twice a week for one or two people.

Love it. If only they would make their rice polisher available here in the States. Great cooker!!!!

I had no idea that rice could be so delicious. Easy to use and easy to clean. Perfect!
