Benefits of Zojirushi Rice Cookers
When I ask people what brand of rice cooker they prefer, Zojirushi always comes up in their responses. This says something about their quality. Zojirushi rice cookers dominate the market in Japan, and they are increasingly become popular in many parts of the globe.
Zojirushi easily beats all the rice cookers I owned before. These rice cookers by Zojirushi sport some nice features. Zojirushi offers budget rice cookers or those that do not have features many people do not need.
There are also the finest rice cookers with the most advanced features. Whether you are a single person, a couple, or a family, Zojirushi offers the rice cooker that will perfectly fit your needs.
Zojirushi offers many different features throughout their rice cooker line. Below are the features that I really like:
Fuzzy Logic and Neuro Fuzzy
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.
Neuro Fuzzy, anyone? Well, Neuro Fuzzy is the most recent version of Fuzzy Logic. The Fuzzy Logic and the Neuro Fuzzy technologies work well.
Rice cookers that feature Neuro Fuzzy technology are able to update the temperature and time regularly. This technology makes sure that you cook your rice just fine. The Neuro Fuzzy feature is great as it lessens the impacts of poor water measuring and 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.
The induction heating system is a great feature since it makes sure that the cooking is uniform on the edge and center of your cooker. A rice cooker with this technology will make great rice.
Warming ability
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.
Originality
The reason why many consumers love the Zojirushi brand is the never-ending innovation in their rice cooker line. According to Zojirushi, the Rizo, their newest model, has a design that perfectly suits the western kitchen.
Another cool model is the i-pot. Here, the rice cooker will text you on your cell phone if you have not used it in a while.
