Rice cookers are the bomb diggity. There is always rice on in my home. Rice at every meal. Even in college I had an awesome 10 cup Zojirushi, who IMO make the best rice cookers. Get a neuro fuzzy or induction one. Worth the price.

300 bucks for a rice cooker?

I didn't even know there was a luxury rice cooker market. Mine was twenty bucks at Target.

Mine was a free hand-me-down from a friend 12 years ago, is not non-stick, and has no fuzzy logic. I wonder if my wife would like a new rice cooker for Christmas.

I'll be honest my Zojirushi was a gift and bit the dust after lots of use. Now I have something from Costco. It works. It's not a Zojirushi.

Our Sanyo rice cooker is 18 years old. It has fought the good fight, but we are about to put it out to pasture. Ironically, it was used when we got it so I don't know how old it is. Some Japanese friends of our gave it to us when they returned to Japan after finishing grad school.

Anyway, I am tempted to take the plunge and get a Zojirushi. We eat rice about every other day. All the reviews claim that induction is the way to go. I long for the perfectly cooked rice I used to enjoy in Japan. The Sanyo has been a workhorse, but I am tired of rice that is either mushy or dry.

My zojirushi had at least 5 years of use when I received it also. A roommate gave it to me when he moved out and I packed that thing everywhere. If you eat rice that much it's well worth it. The one Gidget and I have now is just a cheap automatic one. It seems to take much longer to cook than my old one. And it seems to brown some rice on the bottom each time.

If most people in Japan are using rice cookers....and you are using a rice cooker.....then why isnt your rice perfectly cooked like theirs? Do you think it is the brand of rice cooker?

Definitely the quality of the cooker. Ours is sturdy but ancient. Our other Japanese friends here in the ward have a high-tech rice cooker and the difference is like night and day.

Thanks. We need a new one. I will look into it.

Is there a middle-market brand that someone can recommend that doesnt cost $300? I love rice, but not that much. However, if there was a $300 bread pudding cooker.....
