Testing the Zojirushi NL-AAQ18 10-Cup Rice Cooker - Is it worth it?

Ғылым және технология

We have been on the fence about splurging for this rice cooker but since rice is life and there's not much else to do in quarantine except cook, we went for it! This is a full review and unboxing of the ZOJIRUSHI NL-AAQ18 before we put it up against our standard no frills, no fuss rice cooker at home.
We'll show you the views of the AAQ18 (front and side) so can you can see how it sizes up to a regular 10-cup rice cooker and then we'll battle them out to find out whether there is a distinct difference between the quality of their end results. We also tried out a blind taste test and overall, instead of telling you if it's worth it, you'll ultimately have to decide if it's matches the price that you're paying for. Our personal opinion? We eat rice every single day, minimum of two meals, so with the ease, convenience of use of this Zojirushi cooker, it's going to be our best friend for sure.
Good luck and enjoy!

    Had a Zojirushi rice cooker that lasted for 10 or so years! They are wonders to have in the kitchen.

    I don't have one of these machines (yet), but the company's promotional materials show a rice paddle holder attached to the side of the cooker. It is a minimal looking clear plastic piece, easy to miss if it's in the new box. It looks like something the consumer would attach to the rice cooker, probably self-stick.

    Hello! I called Zojirushi customer support here in Manila to ask about this and they said that there is no way to turn off the clock even when unplugged. :( When we unboxed it, the clock was already on. :)

    @@eleanoreteo I had tried the exact rice cooker from the place I rented for 6 months. The rice turns out fluffy and delicious. But as soon as I got back to my own place, I immediately order one. I got the NWC-10 which currently is the flagship model. So far, I tried the umami preset and the rice turns out to have a chewable texture and some fluffiness. The version you have can make rice fluffy and soft.

    I think theres a plastic thingy you can hook on the side and you can put your paddle in it? Why did you buy a new rc? Our old tiger rc still works okay but im thinking of replacing it with this model i don’t know why maybe its the quarantine mood? Like to hear your story as to why did you replace a still perfectly working old rc :)

    Hi Jd, thanks so much! I will double check on the paddle holder, maybe I missed something in the box hehe. We wanted to upgrade our rice cooker from the traditional one because I heard that the Japanese versions had a very noticeable difference in the results. Our rice with the old rc would tend to crust at the bottom while mushy in the middle. Although rice is rice so we weren't very picky but we thought upgrading the rice might be worth it. Plus we've been eating at home all year so now is the best time I guess. :D
