Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zojirushi NS-MYC18 Micom Fuzzy Logic 10 Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer
Customer Review: tasty rice and excellent porridge
Summary: 4 Stars
my family used to have a tiger rice cooker that costed about 90 bux 10 years ago. It finally broke down after years of service and i was in the market to get a new rice cooker.
I am asian, and rice is important. the bottom line is very simple: this is a rice cooker, and it sure makes goooood rice.
To me, good rice means: fluffy, sticky, and evenly cooked. this rice cooker accomplishes all quite well.
with a typical cheap rice cooker, the outer edge of the rice pot is soggy due to water condensation. this rice cooker overcomes this problem with a nicely designed lid which ensures even cooking to every singe grain.
the porridge function is especially nice. if you ever cooked porridge before, you probably had to keep a very close eye on it since the starch tends to form layer of bubbles which will spill over if the heat is too high.
with this cooker, simply press the button and forget about it, and so far my porridge came out perfect every single time.
few complaints:
1. size. this is a HUGE rice cooker, and it's not very aesthically pleasing.
2. the innter cooking bowl is little bit thin and filmsy to my standard. the cooking bowl is made of aluminum with a non-stick coating. aluminum distribute heat extremely well (second only to copper). i think Zojirushi should have made this bowl studier and heavier.
3. price, 20 pounds of premium sushi grade rice cost 11 bux in asian supermarket. this rice cooker costs 120 bux. little bit on the expensive side.
overall speaking, tasty rice and i recommend it.
Description of Zojirushi NS-MYC18 Micom Fuzzy Logic 10 Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer
Model: NSMYC18WK Capacity (dry): 10 cups Capacity (cooked): 20 cups Computerized Fuzzy logic temperature control system Multiple menu settings and countdown timer function 4 rice settings: white, quick, porridge and mixed/sweet Extended keep warm setting keeps rice fresh for up to 12 hours Reheating cycle warms rice to serving temperature Durable nonstick inner cooking pan Spherical inner cooking pan & heating system provide even heating for perfectly cooked rice every time Built-in retractable cord Includes: Spatula, spatula holder, measuring cup 120 volts / 1,000 watts Dimensions: 10.87" W x 14.12" D x 9.87" HThis rice cooker cooks up to 10 cups (enough to feed a 10 to 20 people or more) of a variety of rices--white, sweet, porridge, and mixed--for accompanying stir-fries, stuffing peppers, or rolling sushi. The LCD screen is easy to read and the push-button controls are simple to program once you?ve mastered them. After loading your rice and water into the inner pan and choosing the type of rice you are making from the menu, the microcomputerized "Fuzzy logic" temperature control system calculates the exact cooking time (usually between 45 and 70 minutes) and programs it for you. The Fuzzy microchip combined with the unit?s spherical heating system, which cooks on all sides of the inner pan, ensure perfect rice every time without burning or overcooking. You can also set the timer manually in 30-minute increments for cooking times of up to 13 hours. When cooking is complete, the cooker beeps eight times and automatically shifts into a Keep Warm mode, which keeps rice warm for up to 12 hours after cooking is complete. An Extended Keep Warm function warms rice for up to 8 hours at a lower temperature and reduces the chance of rice drying out or becoming discolored or odorous. If rice is still not eaten by then, there is another opportunity to give it a warmup of between 5 and 15 minutes using the Reheat key.
The inner pan has a nonstick coating for easy cleaning and the lid?s stainless-steel underside also wipes clean much effort. The rice cooker has a plastic handle for transporting it from cabinet to counter and a retractable cord for easy storage. This appliance comes with a spatula and spatula holder and is covered by a limited 1-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
