Make every rice type imaginable with a Zojirushi Rice Cooker

Brown Rice

This is a menu setting designed to cook delicious brown rice. In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy.

Sushi Rice

Because sushi rice will be processed after it’s cooked, it’s easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very similar to regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish.

Mixed

Mixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings. This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over.

Porridge

Instead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture.

Steam

Steam your favorite foods. Steaming function can be lengthened or shortened by adjusting time setting.

MICOM (Microcomputer) Technology

Aided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from “occasional” to “serious”. Basically, the microchip does all the thinking for you, as far as adjusting cooking times and temperatures according to the type of rice you are cooking, and timing the pre-soaking of the raw grains and the final “wait” period during steaming.

MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into her daily diet.

How it Works

Conventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The “fuzzy logic” of MICOM fine tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all has different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan’s weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.

Key Features:

Easy-to-read LCD control panel with clock and timer features

Black thick inner cooking pan provides even heating for better cooker.

BPA Free Steaming basket

Convenient detachable inner lid for easy cleaning.

Accessories include rice measuring cup, nonstick rice spatula and spatula holder.

Yes, it cooks rice, but it also does so much more. For a quick and healthy addition to grilled chicken and dinner rolls, just fill the rice cooker’s included steamer basket with green beans or fresh broccoli from the farmer’s market or zucchini and pea pods from the backyard garden. Then press the quick cook/steam function and you’re well on your way to appetizing side dishes. Short on time in the morning? Load up the rice cooker with oatmeal, grits, or other hot cereals and water or milk for a low-effort, soul-satisfying breakfast before heading out the door.

Advanced Fuzzy Logic Technology

For precise and delightfully consistent results every time, the rice cooker’s advanced Fuzzy Logic technology automatically adjusts the power and cooking time–making the art of rice cooking practically foolproof.

Keep Warm

The rice cooker’s automatic shut-off function ensures peace of mind and prevents overcooking, while its handy keep-warm setting activates automatically when cooking is complete, holding contents at an ideal serving temperature for up to 12 hours.

Additional Features

Along with the steaming basket, the rice cooker provides a special measuring cup for portioning the desired amount, as well as a non-scratching rice spoon for authentic Asian-style service.

Other highlights include push-button lid release, a domed lid that prevents accumulated water from re-entering the contents, a nonstick-coated pan for simple cleanup, a detachable power cord, and an attractive, compact design that fits neatly on a countertop, kitchen island, or dinner table for convenient serving.

Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, Panasonic’s microcomputer-controlled Fuzzy Logic rice cooker effortlessly cooks up main dishes, sides, snacks, hot breakfasts, and a host of other meal options, making it a useful addition to any busy kitchen.

Note: Do not clean or rinse the rice in the rice cooker pan, but use an outside bowl.
