As of 8/24/2023, following the Amazon link, the price of the Zojirusi has gone up to $193.61.
As of today the the 5.5 cup Zojirushi rice cooker is $195. The Toshiba listed in the description is $149, and the 3 cup Zojirushi is $152. That's a lot of money to spend on an appliance that only does one thing. 🤔
HOW ABOUT USING THE CHARLESTON RICE STEAMER!!! 🤬🤬🤬 Electric Rice Cooker are TRASHOLA!!!
I've had that same Zojirushi for nearly 30 years. The clock no longer works but everything else is exactly the way it was the day it came out of the box.
I watch lots of Japaneese restaurant videos they all have the same under the counter gas rice cooker
I was afraid I was over spending on my Zojirushi rice cooker … absolutely not it’s perfect every time and you can cook other things in it too. Great buy. Well worth it.
That was a bit disappointing. It would have been nice to hear about the top 3 choices or maybe best overall, best budget, etc. Most people can expect the most expensive to be among the best. I've been using a Toshiba for about 15 years and it's finally time for a new one. Unfortunately, this video didn't really compare any of the models tested. Ah well.
It's very sad you couldn't find a cooker for white rice under that amount. Crazy. I don't have that kind of money. I was hoping for one about 50 I just cook white and brown rice.
Super durable too. I've thrown the Zojirushi across a room out of anger after I stubbed my toe while carrying it. I immediately freaked out cause I love that rice cooker. Well other than a small crack by the handle it still works like new. It makes a great gift too because most americans won't spend that much on a "rice cooker", til they have a Zoji.
Lol, one of Zojirushi's lowest grade models won… God forbid they used a high-end model, their brains would cave in.
im not trusting some white people choose rice cooker for me
Off the bat I spotted the two best rice cookers and I was right 😂
As an Asian living in a small apartment, I would rather microwave my rice in a pyrex glass bowl than use one with teflon. I just can't be so sure with all the pfoas in nonstick cookware.
The Zojirushi is crazy expensive. You can get the Aroma for $30. Unless you're a professional you don't need to spend $170 on a rice cooker, just get the $30 one. Your wallet/purse will thank you. Also the guy didn't even review all of the cookers so what was the point of this video?
But really good rice can be made with the cheapest of implements. Only a crazy person thinks $165 is appropriate.
We eat rice everyday. We have the Zojirushi because our Tiger rice cooker died after 20 years. The Tiger was nice too, mainly because it was so simple.
I wish you did something that isn't non-stick. Either stainless steel and ceramic as a test (as well as for health).
Uncle Roger will be so proud!
That little "red" rice cooker that this guy shrubbed off is the most sold rice cooker in Korea. That exact model, just saying.
You don't need to test this. We all know it's Zojirushi.
Most rice cooker have the same basic design so the important features that set them apart are: even cooking and keep warm. They have mentioned even cooking, which is related to keep warm. The water adjustment feature is also related to keep warm as it is necessary to maintain moist, warm rice for long period. I wish they had went further for that test as keep warm is the defining feature of a separate electric rice cooker. If you only need to cook rice once in a while, following ATK's own Dan video about cooking rice is the best instead of investing in another kitchen appliance. Keep warm is the magic that makes rice cooker truly "worth it".
This should be a 30 minutes video.
The rice Cooker that won is the one my mom has been using for decades and no wonder it tastes so good every time
The Japanese make quality rice cookers , electronics and automobiles .
I have owned that exact model of rice cooker for about 20 years. I still use it all the time and my rice is still perfect.
I only buy japan made rice cookers, I eat rice 6-7 days a week with most every meal, so spending more is worth it for me. I had my last Tiger cooker for 15 years and decided to replace it not because of failure but because the outside was really sorry looking and the inner pot was scratched up because of using metal spoons. I wanted a IH (induction) cooker cause I can actually taste the difference and its faster, plus no burned bottoms, you like the burned bottom get a japanese made Tiger JNP type cooker (that will last you until you die) they usually have a flower pattern on the outside or are silver, the heating element will last forever. For a premium cooker that will tailor its method according to the type of rice you eat, the two models I'd advise people to look at (not cheap) I'd go either the Tiger JKT line or the Zojirushi NP-HCC line, both of these are induction type and yes it does taste better if you notice that sort of thing in rice. The fuzzy logic model they recommend here is nice, and has more features than the JNP line, but its not induction so does not cook quite the same nor as fast it is cheaper though than the two I recommend. I prefer the Tiger JKT line and bought it for myself causse the inner pot is concave shaped as has a nicer form, the zojirushi is just straight stamped. Does that make a difference? probably not, functionally and performance wise they are very similar. I guess get the one you can find a better deal on the size you need.
I use my Breville Fast Slow Pro using the pressure cooker feature. I’ve even made mushroom risotto with it.
I have tried a few rice cookers, but in the end a pressure cooker seemed better. I use a small instapot I use almost exclusively for rice
Zojirushi Induction Rice Cooker is superior to the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker.
You don't need those measuring lines. Use your finger. Water to the first knuckle.
Everybody else: do you own a rice maker?
Puerto Ricans: Lmao 😂 what the heck is a rice maker…
