Best thing next to the fuzzy-logic units,

Plump, tender and moist grains of rice, with the option of colorful steamed veggies, can be yours with this pressure cooker. I love my rice cookers. I use them not only to make rice, but for all sorts of one-pot meals. Put in a cup of rice, vegetables, meats or seafood, seasonings, tofu… and a half hour later you have a steaming hot one-pot meal. They’re also good for pilafs and other grain dishes.

The zojirushi rice cooker and Panasonic units are all first rate, BUT you need to know a little something about cooking rice beyond what’s in the poorly worded manuals.

Different rice takes different amounts of water. The long-grained rice Americans are used to should be cooked with 1-3/4 cup of water for each cup of rice. Japanese rice needs only 1-1/4 cup of water for each cup of rice, or 1 cup of water for each cup of washed, wet, rice.

Many Americans (and Europeans) have problems with these steamer food because the measure ments are calibrated for Japanese short grain rice, and the Westerners are cooking long grain rice. Get the ratios correct, and everything works out fine.

I’ve had a number of rice cookers of different sizes. My panasonic rice cooker has lasted over 20 years, and my Zojirushi looks like it’ll last just as long, while my South Bend gave up the ghost after only a year. Go with the top Japanese models; they’re made for day-in and day out cooking.

This panasonic 5 cup rice cooker Just right,

I bought this panasonic rice cooker as a gift for my son this Christmas, and he loves it! I spent a little while reading the reviews on several different brands and models and chose this based mostly on the comments of other buyers. Being clueless about rice cookers , I was amazed at the choices available, and all the factors to consider. This rice cooking turned out to be the right choice! In every way this rice cooker has been a winner. As soon as my son opened the box, we had it up and running. We tried brown rice first and the rice was cooked just perfectly. Every type of rice he has cooked using this product has turned out the right texture, and is fresh and clean tasting. The basmati rice was amazing! Sticky rice comes out sticky, and other types are cooked with the grains nicely separated. The keep warm feature works perfectly.

The unit is nicely made, good quality, and easy to clean. The cake baking feature is a blast! My son hasn’t tried the vegetable steamer function yet, so the concern over the plastic components imparting a taste to the food isn’t something we are aware of at this point. I am thankful to the reviewers who submitted their thoughts on this product; their detailed rice cooker reviews helped steer me in the right direction and helped me make an informed decision. I was wanting to choose the right product for my son( who knows his rice!) and this product did not disappoint.

As an extra point, this pressure rice cooker, because of its size and versatility, is a good choice for someone with limited kitchen space. It is a good size, not too big or small and makes plenty of rice to share. If you choose to make a smaller batch for one, the quality of the rice is the same as for a larger amount. The soup/stew, cake making and steaming functions add to the value of this product, and eliminate the need for extra kitchen stuff–a real plus in a small kitchen. Although there are cheaper rice cookers available, the quality and features of this unit are worth the extra (though reasonable)cost. I never thought of Panasonic as a brand to turn to for rice cookers. All the folks I know have chosen the more recognizable brands and I was a bit worried that this would be a poor choice. However, this product is a winner, and I recommend it without hesitation.
