Benefits of Zojirushi Rice Cookers
Most people say they prefer the Zojirushi rice cooker brand when I ask them. This says a lot about the quality of these rice cookers. Zojirushi rice cookers lead in Japan, and are becoming more and more popular in many countries.
I have tried many rice cookers before, and I must say that the rice cookers by Zojirushi top them all. These rice cookers have a wide range of features. There are basic rice cookers for people with limited budget, or those who do not need lots of features.
Zojirushi also has great rice cookers that sport the most technologically advanced features. It provides the right rice cooker that can make the best rice.
Zojirushi has great functionalities throughout their cooker line. My favorite features are listed below:
Fuzzy technology
Fuzzy technology is common in many Zojirushi rice cookers. As a mater of fact, virtually all mid to higher-end models come with this technology. If you?re very picky about the way the rice turns out, then get a Zojirushi rice cooker that has the Fuzzy Logic technology.
What?s Neuro Fuzzy? It is the latest version of the Fuzzy Logic technology. Both features work very well, though.
Cookers sporting the Neuro Fuzzy technology update the cooking temperature and time constantly. This feature ensures that rice is cooked perfectly. Neuro Fuzzy can also minimize the effects of incorrect measuring as well as other human errors.
Induction heating feature
Higher-end rice cookers from Zojirushi feature induction heating. This feature is responsible for the consistent heating in rice cookers, which also means a consistent cooking.
Induction heating ensures uniform cooking on the center and edge of your rice cooker. Any rice cooker by Zojirushi with induction heating technology will cook the best rice.
Warming feature
One of the highlights of a Zojirushi rice cooker is its warming ability. All but a chosen few come with warming features these days. I personally won?t buy one without this important feature.
At the very least, rice cookers with this feature keeps your rice warm for many hours after cooking it. What?s more, other Zojirushi rice cookers have a re-warming ability. This allows you to re-heat your rice or any other food in the cooker.
But there?s a thing you should remember: Don?t use the warming feature when making small amounts of rice (1 – 2 cups). Using the feature while cooking a cup or two of rice can dry it out. And I know dry rice can be a real let-down.
Uniqueness
What I like most about Zojirushi is their constant innovation in rice cookers. They claim that the latest model, the Rizo, was designed with ?the western kitchen in mind?.
The leading rice cooker maker also has the great i-pot. This rice cooker has the ability to text you on your mobile device to remind you to use the cooker.
