I just bought mine three days ago and I get, I totally get it. Thanks for making me reconsider my options and not wasting the second half of my life with cooking rice in a pot.

Thanks for your wonderful comment!! You know the two best things about rice cookers are 1. No need to time when cooking rice 2. You can eat warm rice pretty much anytime. Japanese people eat rice 2,3 times a day, so it really makes our lives more efficient and effective! It might even be a hidden contributor to Japanese economy. Haha

As a pretty avid KZread watcher, this is one of my favorite videos I've seen in a long time. Funny, informative, fantastic intro, fun family. Subscribed! P.S. I just got the Zojirushi neural fuzzy model and am going to make rice an everyday thing. Amazing results. Going to try making the Salmon and Sisho rice soon!

wow, that kid (smaller one) is super smart! (I'm sure the other one is too) but like she actually analyzed the problem in her mind and worked out possible solutions to the scenario that was presented to her, major props to the parents!

I am from south Louisiana and grew up eating rice twice a day till I was in my 20s. Rice was eaten with meats, sauce, gumbo, stews, rice dressing, jambalaya, red beans and rice, seafood etoufee, and sometimes was transformed into a delightful rice pudding for dessert. I am quite capable of preparing a nice pot of rice on the stovetop. I have also purchased different brands of rice cookers through the years. My primary complaint with all of those was the hard, browned rice at the bottom of the pot which i tossed into the garbage. But then I discovered Zojirushi! I will NEVER be without this miraculous appliance! The model i purchased is the NP-NVC10. It’s several years old and preforms like a dream - never any hard crunchy bottom of the pot rice - unless you chose the scorch setting.

I have used my rice cooker in different ways since being home so much. My latest experiment has been using silicone cups to hold extra items I want to steam, like leftover rice, eggs or frozen veg. I put my old 3 cup zojirushi on ‘quick cook’ to reheat something (usually a stew, beans, or curry), and place the silicone cups with foods on top of the reheating food. 20 minutes or so, it’s all reheated/cooked. It’s been a great help. The silicone cups are a silicone ‘muffin pan’ I didn’t like, that I cut up into separate pieces.

Sir thank you, I had for a year a normal rice cooker (chinese brand) but i always wanted a Zojiruchi and finally made it to Japan a month ago, could not let the Zojiruchi pass. I cannot be more happy with it, but i never got to experience the daily life of Japanese with the rice cooking so i been looking for videos like yours. Thank you very much, i now can try different things with it, if you have any english booklet for different things to do I would very much appreciate it. Rice is love, rice is life... and Japan is full of it.

Now I’ve had a zojirushi rice cooker( baby elephant) I can’t imagine life without it. If it ever dies I’ll replace it because I can’t go back to cheap rice cookers. I do wash my rice in a separate rice washing bowl to help preserve the rice cooker removable pan for as long as possible. My sone uses Chinese sausage in his rice for a meal after a hard day at college. I love tomato and mushroom rice. However eve;just making any of the several types of rice all work well in this cooker.

I’m so happy I found your videos. I asked my 12 year old daughter your survey question and she said 80%. She really loves our rice cooker.

Cleverly presented and quite informative!

Such a lovely family.

Thanks so much for your video. I had no idea how much you could do with a rice cooker. The meal ideas were very helpful.

😂 based on a survey of 4 people.. 🤣 Your daughters are precious! I just got my new rice cooker. Best purchase I have made in a long time. After blowing through a few 40 dollar cookers, I decided that it's time to buy a real one. I love it! I made a batch for dinner last night, and woke up this morning, with fresh steaming- NOT hard or gummy rice for breakfast. Perfect. 🤗

Nice family. Thank you for showing us your rice cooker.

We have 3 rice cookers in our house (got in gifts) of all sizes, but my mother still prefers cooking in a pot, and I can assure you it tastes better than any rice I've had outside (maybe the magic is in her hands)

Today I replaced the rice cooker that my mom used when I was a kid. It had one button. I just made jasmine rice in my new zojirushi, and I feel like I've never had rice before. I don't mind that it takes about an hour. I bet if I used the quick rice setting it would turn out like my old one (20-30 min).I'm going to have my mom over for dinner, but I'm not going to tell her about the rice cooker. lol For the last couple of months I've been doing it on the stove, and while I can do it, I don't like having to think about it.

I wash rice using a plastic or flexi bowl or glass bowl. Nowadays, there are bowls sold that is for washing fruits and vegetables and for rice instead of using the rice cooker's bowl.

I can't wait for them to come out with a $1,000 popcorn popper.

There are times when we have to admit a machine is better. A high-end rice cooker is the best example in my experience of cooking for 35 years. We took the plunge a couple of years ago. It took me a bit of time to hit the 'BUY' button. It was expensive. It's paid for itself by virtue of consistent, perfect rice every time. You start it and walk away. Zojirushis are excellent!

Hahaha, Zojirushi are the expensive ones here in Europe! I've been trying to eat in a more healthy manner, so I'm considering getting a rice cooker. I'm probably gonna get one after I get a blender!
