Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-CUP Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer (White)

Crazy Perfect Rice!
My wife said I was crazy to spend so much just to cook rice. That was until she tried the rice! When she tried the oatmeal, she started telling all of our friends and family about how incredible it is. We've had this machine for 4 months and use it several times per week for both rice and oatmeal.

Rice:
It makes the ultimate rice every time. The best feature is that it keeps the rice warm and perfect for up to 8 hours. It does this by having an excellent seal between the lid and the bowl, plus very accurate temperature control. We picked up a 25 lb. bag of Kokuho Rose pre-washed rice at Costco for something like $0.50 per lb. My family loves it!

Rice Pudding:
Italian rice or Arborio rice - We made this over the Christmas holidays. Just follow the recipe on the bag using the white rice cycle. Serve with a little butter, sugar, and cinnamon, it's heaven.

Oatmeal:
This is my personal favorite. I always wanted to try Irish oats but was put...

What can you say...
Cant find any negative things to say about this made in Japan Zojirushi rice cooker. Make sure when you buy zojirushi items that you get the made in japan version. I know for sure that ZAC10, ZAC18, KCC05, VBC-18 are all made in Japan. The others like MYC, PC models are made in China. I like these much better because they have the legendary quality of made in Japan models. It makes all sorts of rice and you can also make dishes inside the cooker. I also like to steam things like dumplings and chinese bread.

excellent tasting, but...
There is no question that this makes excellent rice. The instructions for making porridge (grits, oatmeal, etc.) make it a little hard to come out as good as the rice. The only real gripe I have about this is the inner pot. It scratched after only about 3 uses. I only use the plastic paddle it comes with, so I am a bit perplexed as to how this happened. I went to the Zojirushi website to order a replacement and was astonished to see that this inner pot costs near $50 to replace!
