Zojirushi NP-HCC10XH Induction Heating System Rice Cooker and Warmer, 5.5-Cup, Stainless Dark Gray

This rice cooker was expensive when I bought it, and it's gone up in price now that I'm looking for a second smaller one. I have the 10 cup, and am considering adding the 5 cup due to I like brown rice, and the rest of my family prefers white. The expense, however, is the ONLY con after over 4 years of owning it and honestly, it's been worth every penny so I don't really consider it a con.We had gone through probably 5 different cheaper rice cookers over the years, you know those common models where it has one button to start and a glass lid... while a few of them did Jasmine rice pretty good,

I have had this rice cooker in my hands for 6 days, and I have used it 5 out of those 6. This is a game changer of an appliance, and I do not say this lightly. We've used this to make sushi rice for onigiri for my kiddo, jasmine rice, and GABA brown rice. The GABA brown rice is probably my favorite way to eat brown rice now - the texture is great and the flavor is wonderful! You get to enjoy the nutty flavor of brown rice with a sort of creamy mellowness to it, and the texture is softer and fluffier. The GABA rice is a great option for meal prep and that's what I used mine for. I made porridge

I’ve been using this rice cooker for approximately seven months and I absolutely love it. I am extremely particular about my kitchen appliances and this model far exceeds my standards.For comparison, I also ordered the Zojirushi NP-NWC10XB Pressure IH Rice Cooker. In my experience, the HCC10XH is far superior. It produces cleaner, more naturally textured rice, while the NWC10XB seems to force more water into each grain, leaving the rice slightly waterlogged and mushy.This cooker delivers perfectly prepared rice every time. It is easy to operate and, although expensive, offers excellent long-te

I needed to buy a replacement rice cooker to the one my mom bought for me when I was a college student many, many moons ago. After doing a lot of research online a few months ago, I decided to buy the Zojirushi NP-HCC10XH instead of the model with pressure. (I already had a pressure cooker, and the Zojirushi website indicated that with the pressure model, you are discouraged from cooking oatmeal because doing so may clog up the pressure release mechanisms. I don't eat a lot of oatmeal, but I wanted the option of cooking it in the Zojirushi.)For the quality of the rice cooked, this cooker is pr

I have owned and used this for the past 6 months consistently. It is the best, most capable, easiest to use, useful rice cooker I have ever owned and it is not even close! I typically make 1.5-2 cups at a time but have made as little as 1 cup and as much as 3.5 cups. My favorite setting is the sushi rice setting as it is my favorite texture but have tired most of the other settings. If rice is a regular part of your diet this is a must purchase.Pros:- Best keep warm feature! Yes it has an extended keep warm feature but the regular keep warm feature will keep the quality for a solid 3 days with

Update: Two years in and I still love it. I probably use it 2-3 times a week on average. I've been hand-washing the rice bowl and opening/draining the valve each time and I occasionally pop the stainless steel disc at the top out for a more thorough cleaning, but that's about it. The non-stick coating on the bowl is 100% intact. I use the jasmine mode if I have time, but the quick mode does a really good job if I don't, even on jasmine rice. It's also done really well on sushi rice and sweet/sticky rice the times I've made it. Literally can't think of a single thing I'd improve.I previously ha

As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast and home cook, I am always on the lookout for kitchen appliances that can elevate my culinary creations. After extensive research and reading numerous positive reviews, I decided to invest in the Zojirushi NP-HCC18XH Induction Heating System Rice Cooker and Warmer. With its sleek design, advanced technology, and promise of perfectly cooked rice, I was eager to put it to the test. After several weeks of use, I am delighted to share my honest and unbiased feedback on this remarkable kitchen companion.Design and Build Quality:The Zojirushi NP-HCC18XH boasts an

I've made a few pots of rice since getting this, and so far so good! My favorite features are that it gives the exact cooking time (my old, cheap Aroma cooker only shows the time at the last ~10 minutes, after 15-90 minutes of uncertainty...), and that you can set it to be ready at a certain time. Both white and brown rice has been fluffy and evenly cooked. No hot spots, crusty films, or burnt bits on the bottom. Brown rice took 90 minutes, and white rice, if I remember correctly, around 20.Buttons are simple and intuitive. The musical sound it plays at the start and end of cooking is sort of
