What Others Say
Fantastic rice!
This is a simple review to write...this unit is fantastic; best rice we've ever had, esp. the gaba rice!
I only wish the timer would tell you how long it has to cook...
Other than that, fantastic. It keeps rice warm for as long as you want and cooks evenly and perfectly every time.
pay the money
I have gone through 2 cheap rice cookers. It was very nice not to have water all over the counter or burnt rice on the bottom of the pot. I am glad I upgraded and paid the money for a wonderful rice cooker.
Worth every cent
The difference between a el chepo $25 rice cooker and a fancy neuro fuzzy model was impressed upon me by my colleague. After tasting the rice made by a Sanyo neuro fuzzy rice cooker I resolved to buy a good quality Japanese rice cooker. I brought this rice cooker after looking at all the wonderful reviews here on amazon and other places in the Internet. The rice cooker has lived up to its hype and much more. It really is worth the 5 star reviews.
First let me start off with the white rice. It cooks each grain perfectly to the right level of crunchiness. When using the GABA function for the brown rice the grains are just perfectly cooked and very tasty. It is almost like rediscovering rice all over again. We like our rice a little ... Read More
Everything people say--fantastic
We've had this for two weeks and used it 10 times already, for oatmeal (steel cut oats, NOT quick-cook version, use the porridge setting), sushi rice (to make onigiri rice balls), regular rice. We like the larger model because we like to make lunches for the entire week ahead of time. Needless to say, no more rice-water scum all over the stove, wasted rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. It's great, and easy to use, easy to clean. You'll wonder how you ever had rice without it.
Amazing
This rice cooker is the one to get; it's pricier than the aluminum models, but it's made in Japan (not China), and everything inside and out is stainless steel. Everything about it is good, except possibly for the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star music it plays when it starts...you can change it but I haven't figured out how yet.
