NS-TSC10AXH Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (5.5-Cups)

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.

We already had the Zojirushi water boiler, and it is probably 7 years old. With that in mind, when we were looking for a rice maker, we decided on Zojirushi. Not only does this look lovely on the counter top, it works incredibly well. The first thing we made was brown rice. Easy... 1. Use cup, which is very kindly provided, and level fill with the rice you want to use 2. Add water to clearly marked corresponding line in the rice maker. 3. Select menu.... select the type of rice you are using.. 4. Press start. 5. Enjoy nicely cooked rice. We baked cheesecake, which is delicious. I made my husband a birthday cake, and he said it was the nicest sponge cake he had tasted. ( I added lavender and vanilla) The perfect omelette! mix eggs, add a little milk, and any additions (cheese, onion, carrot, etc.) I read in a recipe online, that you cook it for 15 minutes. I set the rice maker for quick, which shows 40 minutes. I was in a hurry, and just set the timer on the microwave for 15 minutes. Well, the microwave timer went off, and I looked at the rice maker...well, wouldn't you know it, the timer had adjusted and was just about to go off. The omelette was perfectly shaped, and just flopped out onto the plate when I inverted the inner pan of the rice maker. That night, I just had to make my husband an omelette, well, it was more of a fritatta, as he wanted some leftover rice in it. Quick, easy, and delicious meal. We have used the timer program for oatmeal. We had guests who needed to be up very early, so we set it for oatmeal, and when they got up, the oatmeal was done to perfection. We put water up to the 3 cup mark, then fill the steamer basket with eggs, and press quick. Pefectly hard boiled eggs. We experimented, and put 2 cups of water and one cup of beer in it, and bratwursts in the steamer basket. Quick program...and the brats are fabulous. This is the way we cook them now. With care, I hope it lasts as long as our Zojirushi water boiler. UPDATE Have cooked chicken curry in it, pasta and meatballs, and a number of dishes.

It was defunct when it arrived. It wouldn’t turn on - I am returning the item

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

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.

This rice cooker makes cooking the different types of rice to an art of perfect rice. It takes longer to cook the rice compared to other types of rice cookers but the end result is perfectly cooked rice! The measuring chart inside of the cooker pot gives you the ease of cooking the different amounts of rice you want to cook with no guess work required. Perfect rice anytime! Love the fuzzy technology indeed! When you start to program the timer, it plays music to confirm the start process and also alerts you when the rice is cooked with another ring tone. It keeps the rice warm automatically until you cancel or unplug the cooker. If you want the rice to cook at a shorter time, this cooker is not for you.

La mejor maquina de arroz. Para hacer arroz de sushi, sientes que estas comiendo en Japon, pero también el arroz mexicano (caldo de pollo, tomate, etc) no hay forma que no salga perfecto cada vez. No es barata pero vale cada peso. Además puedes dejarla programada para tener tu arroz listo en la mañana o a cualquier hora. Por si fuera poco, y motivo de 5 estrellas, a mi hijo menor le encantó!
