Rice to me when I was growing up was usually a clumpy mess that we put sugar and milk on and ate as a dessert. My mother was actually a tremendous cook but we were fairly poor (although we never knew it) and had to be creative with finding enough food for five hungry boys. As far as rice cookers, well I heard about them for the first time only a couple of years ago. However, being a huge fan of kitchen appliances, I of course immediately made the plunge and bought one.

Although I enjoy buying small kitchen appliances, I am not an impulsive buyer. I research almost to a fault until I find what I think is going to give me the best brand for the money. In the case of rice cookers, I settled on the Zojirushi NS-ZCC10. Make no bones about it, this is on the higher end of the price scale, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. This is a rice cooker!

This model is a 5 ½ cup rice cooker and warmer that is computerized. It is built for families as it makes plenty of rice. You will find many choices on the automated menu including, reheat Mulberry Shoulder bags, automatic keep-warm, and extended keep-warm cycles. Included with the cooker are two measuring cups, a rice spoon holder, a rice spoon that is nonstick and a large number of recipes. The built in technology called Neuro Fuzzy logic along with a heating system and spherical pan will astound you as it makes ideal rice every time you plug it in.

In addition Mulberry Alexa Bags, the rice cooker includes an LCD clock and timer, an obligatory done signal Mulberry Clutch Bags, a lid that is easily removed and washed, and a power cord that is retractable to avoid an unsightly kitchen. The cooker itself is very attractive with a contemporary white exterior which adds a nice look to your kitchen.

The measurements of the Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 are approximately 14 by 8 by 9. There is also a one-year warranty on this model.

I can now whip up delicious rice recipes in minutes thanks to this awesome cooker. I can not imagine finding one better.
