Zojirushi Rice Cooker Reviews

So if you are planning to buy a some rice cooker let me recommend to you this one. It's Japanese cooker and it's known as Zojirushi. Exact model of Zojirushi is NS-LAC05 Micom. Now you may ask why you would believe this review. How do you know if this review is actually objective.

Well I think it's pretty much objective. I did a small research and wrote a full review on this rice cooker here and I hope you'll like it. But here is a short version of the review on this rice cooker so I hope it will be somewhat helpful to you.

I think that reason why you should buy this product is mainly because it's a high quality product. Zojirushi is probably best cooker out there and it shouldn't be ignored. It's very cool and it cooks very well. This cooker for rice has many features inbuilt. On that way cooking will be easier, faster and more effective.

You probably ask about size of this cooker. Well it's not so big and its size is compact. It's even not that bad for traveling. It's said that this is 3-cup rice cooker. But actual cup is smaller than US cup. However it should enough to cook rice for 3-4 persons. So if you have a family you will be able to serve smaller portions of rice for them.

Full name of this model is NS-LAC05 Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer and this name tells us that this is also a warmer.

Reason why this cooker beside is cooker, is also a warmer it is because this appliance is capable of keeping your rice warm and fresh after it is cooked. That's really good. For example when you get back to home, from your job, you will have a fresh rice waiting for you waiting in this pot. You only need to plan your meals and set up your next meal. It will hold the rice for you and keep it warm and quality.

This appliance is very advanced and has many features as I said previously. You will keep the worries off of your home because this cooker will do pretty much everything for you. You only need to add in a bit of rice and a glass of water or so.

Even cleaning is very easy. Cleaning this cooker is very simple and fast. By many reviews on this rice cooker, users reported cleaning and maintaining in general, is very easy.

But you might not like the price. This isn't so inexpensive cooker and you will need to save some money for it. But it's definitely worth it. Even a cord is retracable. With a retracable cord you don't have to worry about breaking the cables or outlet. You will be able to set up the length of the cord.

Only small (really small) lack is that manual isn't translated very well. But you hardly will needs instructions on how to use this cooker because it's pretty much simple as I said already.

I hope you find this review useful for you and as I said previously just read the full review on resource above on this rice cooker.

Panasonic SRG06FG vs Black & Decker RC3303 Rice Cookers Review

So you are planning to buy a rice cooker?
In this review I'll review (obviously) Panasonic SRG06FG 3.3-Cup and Black & Decker RC3303 3-Cup (Cooked) Rice Cookers.

Let me first start with Panasonic one.



I think I like this one even more than Black & Decker and here is why.

Well Panasonic rice cooker is very good and decent. Price is very affordable. So basically you get cheap and decent cooker for not so much money. But this cooker is very basic. However this is general purpose rice cooker. I think it will work very well with all types of rice and oatmeal.

It should be enough to cook 3-5 cups of cooked rice. That should be enough for even whole families.

Good thing is that lid is made of glass. That way, you are able to see through the lid and see how is your rice cooking.

Cooker and its design in general is very simple. For example bells and whistles aren't included so you won't be alarmed when is your rice cooked. Also this cooker don't have a keep warm feature.

On that way if you don't eat your rice in a hour or two, it will lose some temperature.

Good thing is that rice isn't browned and it's cooked very well.

Cleaning up is really easy. Pot is made (or actually coated) of non-stick material and you won't have a problem with cleaning.

So this rice cooker is very basic. Continue reading this review to get more information on another cooker.

It's by Black and Decker. Model is RC3303 3-Cup (Cooked). This cooker have some similar features as first one cooker by Panasonic.

In this review I'll try to make difference between those two.

Black & Decker cooker is also featured with lid made of glass.
It's also very basic but it's featured with alarm. Alarm will inform you that rice is cooked and it will automatically turn to mode keep warm.

If you aren't in big need of alarm you could stick to Panasonic one.

However this one have alarm and it's very cheap too. But lack is that it's too small. It's maybe enough for 1 person or two persons. But it's not enough for a family.

It's also easy to clean up but another lack is that it might splatter a bit.

So all in all here are my thoughts.

If you want to cook only for yourself or for you and your mate and you don't need to cook a lot of rice every day then Black&Decker rice cooker is probably best solution for you. Also this cooker is featured with alarm.

But if you want to cook for your family then go for Panasonic. You will be able to cook for 3-5 persons but you won't be able to keep the rice warm for longer period and Panasonic rice cooker isn't featured with alarm. But price is very affordable and I think you will be happy with it.

I hope this review helped you find which one is best for you.
