NS-TSC18 Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer – 1.8 Liters

I purchased the Zojirushi rice cooker November 2022. Since then it has perfectly cooked over 150 pounds of rice for our family of 5. Mostly it cooks white sushi rice but I have slowly started to cook brown rice as well. Its only cook 10 pounds of brown rice. It cooks effortlessly, my youngest at 8 can safely and confidently cook amazing sticky rice as she calls it. The price is the price! If you want perfectly cook rice buy it! Ive owned several rice cookers from box stores that are cheap junk. The Zojirushi rice cooker is hands down the last you will buy. Its super simple to use, extremely easy to clean and most of all my 8 year old can make perfect sushi rice. We are Texas ranching family, beef, rice and vegetables are a staple in our home. It takes 60 minutes to cook, so start it while you're preparing your meal. Once it chimes, its done cooking and automatically goes into keep warm. It can keep warm for hours and can even do an extended warm for hours.

This thing is a beast. If you make rice more than once a week I think this is worth the investment. I am so happy that I finally purchased it a while back. This can make a lot of rice if you want to. I make the minimum amount and its enough for my husband, myself and my kiddo. It is also so simple to use. I have no idea how it manages to make perfect rice every time, its easy to clean, easy to function, and it plays a cute little jingle when its done. It also has a steam tray. The only bad part about it is the rice spatula holder is kind of flimsy, I dont really care about that part so much so I dont mind. I use a non scratch sponge on the bowl and haven't had any scratches or chips. The stay warm function somehow manages to keep the rice at a good eating temperature without burning or making it soggy. You can make rice way ahead of dinner which is super cool. It only takes a few minutes more than cooking rice on the stove. I really like it.

Purchased in June 2016, used at least weekly since then (often 3-5 times a week) Before I say anything else, a note about cooking rice - RINSE YOUR RICE, PEOPLE. IT'S IN THE DIRECTIONS AND IT'S CRUCIAL FOR GOOD RICE. Fit & Finish: - Despite the shell being mostly plastic, this rice cooker feels a bit luxe and everything is nice and tight. The super shiny plastic is extremely easy to wipe down whenever it gets dirty. - The retractable power cord is an amazing feature, such a creature comfort. It works just like it did when we got it, albeit slightly slower now. I've never had a problem with getting it to go in the direction I needed. - The lid and hinge mech is solid and easy to use, just one big button to release. An interesting thing to note is the hinge only opens just beyond far enough for the rice pan to be insertable into the machine, so if it didn't pop up all the way and your hands are full, you'll need to use an elbow to nudge it the rest of the way open. My solution is to just pop it open and make sure it's fully open before I start doing anything else. - The handle is light and plastic but has not cracked at any point, not even the joints. This was something I was worried about since the unit feels like it could be an issue, but I kinda swing this thing around when moving it in/out of my pantry, and it's still totally solid. Product in use: - The user interface (buttons and screen) is intuitive, easy to use, and there are no seams between the buttons for any water ingress. The buttons on my unit haven't even started to wear down after 7 years. - As far as functions go, I only really ever use the White or Quick rice features - I don't eat brown rice at home, and haven't felt the need to use any of the other ones. I've also never used the timer feature as I am not the best planner. But this thing sure does make the most perfectly cooked rice every single time. It's honestly kind of rough having such high quality, easy to cook, white rice at home, and then go out to eat and the rice you're eating is just mushy and overcooked or gummy. This thing spoils you. --- A note about Quick Rice - I have found that the quicker cook time /can/ lead to slightly tackier/gummier rice if you open the lid as soon as the cycle ends. I would give it a few extra minutes to steam out before opening and the rice will be almost as perfect as the regular cycle. - Volume of rice cooked - I don't think I have ever maxed this thing out, but I have gotten close. What is MORE impressive, is that I can cook 1 single 'cup'** (**OF THE CUP THEY GIVE YOU TO MEASURE THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE LINES IN THE RICE PAN, WHICH IS ACTUALLY 3/4 CUP) of rice and it comes out just as perfect as if I cooked rice for 6 people. This amount of rice has never been short of enough for one meal for two adults. On quick rice, this amount cooks in like...15 minutes? And on White it'll start at 50, but will actually skip a few and be done in 25min or so. Summary: I thought for sure that $130 (at my time of purchase) was a bit overkill for a rice cooker, but I will 1000% buy another one of these whenever my current unit dies, if that ever happens. I thought 7 years was a good run (< $20/year for perfect rice at home?!) so any more time after this is just a big bonus. 10/10, and 10/10 with rice.

Love my rice cooker. I’ve always just cooked on the stove but a friend of mine told me how much she loves hers so I thought I’d try. So glad I did

Be warned this is a 110v product not suitable for UK minas power without a transformer

Funciona perfecta para hacer el arroz japones para sushi, queda muy bien cocido, en la bandeja adicional puedes poner verduras o lo que se te ocurra para que se cocer al vapor. Por ejemplo antes cocía las papas en agua hirviendo para suavizarlas peron nada que ver con ponerlas a cocer en la arrocera simplemente la cocción es diferente y no quedan tan secas. Ademas se puede programar para que por ejemplo te vyas a dromir y tengas arroz recien hecho por la mañana, si te levantas despues de la horase mantienen caliente. Una cosa de descubrí es que si le pones agua y verduras, es decir no le pones arroz, se qeudará encendida con el contneo en 1min hasta que se evapore el agua por completo. entonces sugeriría poner un temporizado en tu cel para que no dejes ahí horas y horas tus verduras.

Cooking with this machine, the rice tastes excellent.

Works flawlessly. Makes fluffy, perfectly-cooked rice. The design is very well-considered, and the build quality is stellar. However, when Zojirushi says "10 cup capacity" they are referring to cups of UNCOOKED RICE. The actual volume of the cooking pot is almost 5L or 20 cups! Somehow the volume in the details is listed as 1.8L which is wildly incorrect! This is great if I ever need to make rice for a family reunion, but it's a bit more than I need day-to-day. Let my blunder be a warning to others!
