Zojirushi SL-NCE09ST Ms. Bento® Stainless Lunch Jar (Stainless Steel)

I grew up using this brand rice cooker (I am 60 years old). We had the basic ones growing up. About 20 years ago, I started to buy the more expensive ones. They are worth it. When my daughters moved out of the house, the one thing they asked a rice cooker - particularly this brand. The rice is always cooked well, rice stays warm until you turn the machine off, it is easy to use so you always know not to worry about getting great rice. If you really enjoy japanese sticky rice, i highly recommend you purchase this product.

Simply said, this is the best. I have had other rice oookers that have disappointed me. Over cooked or burnt rice, worked OK, but didn't last, oversized and always something. I then decided to finally get a Zojirushi. I selected the Micom 3 cup as only my wife and I live at home. For two people, this is absolutely the best rice cooker. I don't know how they do it, but this thing makes perfect rice all the time. Whether long grain, white, brown, oatmeal. It always comes out perfect. The fluffiest rice perfection I have ever eaten. Rice dishes are so much more enjoyable. We eat rice more since we have the Zojirushi. The Micom 3 Cup is so easy to use, super compact, very practical design, easy to clean and it is literally set and forget. We love it and it gets 5 stars from us.
