Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zojirushi 6 Cup Rice Cooker / Steamer
Customer Review: Best Simple Rice Maker
Summary: 5 Stars
Through college and the years following I have used many different rice cookers and this one is by far the best.
Using a 1 to 1 ratio with regular white rices and 1 to 2 with brown rice has always yielded perfect rice every time. The rice has never burned (assuming you stick to the ratios) and never sticks to the container.
An important note: Make sure you ONLY USE PLASTIC OR WOODEN UTENSILS! While I personally haven't experienced this, metal utensils will scratch the non-stick lining on the pot.
That said, I have been using the same rice cooker for 4 years now and it still works like the day I bought it.
Customer Review: fails out of the box
Summary: 1 Stars
I filled it up with the proper amounts of water and rice as directed. I plugged it in and depressed the lever so the "cooking" light came on. Within seconds, that lever popped up and then the "keep warm" light came on instead and the lever did not return. If I depress the lever again so the "cooking" light comes back on, within seconds that lever pops back up again and the "keep warm" light comes on. I thought maybe this is some sort of safety feature like you have with some electric heaters where it shuts off if it gets too hot but when it cools down acceptably, they cycle back on again. Of course, I thought it odd that sufficient heat would build up to shut it off so fast. Anyway, no matter how long (over half an hour) I leave it plugged in, once that lever pops up, neither the lever ever goes back down nor does the "cooking" light ever come back on again. Nor does the rice cook. Water stays lukewarm.Customer Review: Zojirushi Rice Cooker

In general, this product works well except the heating system is too powerful that the steam/water from the rice always spill over my countertop.
What bothered me the MOST was the product description did not say it was made in Thailand. I assumed I was getting a good deal for a Japanese rice cooker. DISAPPOINTED!
Customer Review: excellent cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very happy with my rice cooker.
It works well, cooks rice, oatmeal and steams vegetables.
This is just what I was looking for.
Customer Review: perfect rice cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, the steamer basket is tiny. Maybe enough room to steam vegetables for 1 person, 2 people max.
Besides that, this rice cooker is awesome. No more burnt, stuck rice at the bottom of the pan. Cooks rice fast, cleans real fast and easy. I'm so glad I finally have a good rice cooker. Now I dont dread making rice anymore because I always hated scraping out the burnt rice on the bottom of my old one.
