A retractable cord keeps your countertop fuss-free and this rice cooker has a convenient timer and LCD clock as well. There are two measuring rice cups that come with the product as well as a non stick rice scooper, a rice type spoon holder and a few recipes that are included with your purchase. The product dimensions are fourteen by eight by nine inches and this product has a limited warranty.

It takes up 680 watts of power but does produce world class quality rice each and every time. At first glance, this rice cooker seems like a complex machine. However, upon setting it up, you will realize that it is user friendly, well designed and has a lid which is easy to clean. As a matter of fact, the entire machine is easy to clean. The only complaint one consumer had about this product is that the cups which a 'five cup' rice cooker has are actually six ounces each, rather than the American 40-oz cups. Thus, a five cup rice cooker has less capacity than this consumer thought.

On the other hand, the Zojirushi NS ZCC 18 ten cup Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Neuro warmer is also premium white. This product has a one year warranty and measures about eleven by nine by ten and a half inches. This ten cup computerized cooker and warmer combination offers consistent rice results, giving you perfectly cooked rice every time you cook. The only drawback this product had is that it had a longer cooking time than normal. Quick cooking white rice cooks for about thirty five to forty five minutes. Regular white rice cooks for about an hour. Sushi rice cooks for about forty seven minutes. Brown rice cooks for more than an hour, about 108 minutes.

This is because you are making ten cups of rice. Ideal for a large family of regular rice eaters, catering businesses or frequent dinner parties, this rice cooker takes a relatively small amount of space for the capacity of rice it can cook. Furthermore, the cups of rice indicated is ten, but in reality, this actually translates to about seven and a half American cups.

One consumer said that he found out that one drawback of this product is that there is no way to change the battery which is soldered to this machine's circuitry board. Nonetheless, the rice cooker consistently cooks perfect batches of rice that is neither underdone or overdone. You can have cozy winter dinners with warm servings of rice. One suggestion is that you cook rice with chicken stock rather than water for fantastic and aromatic rice. You can even sprinkle some herbs like rosemary or basil to add flavor to your rice.
