Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer NS-LHC05

When our old 5 cup Tiger rice cooker finally died after close to a decade of service, we decided to replace it with a Zojirushi due to their reputation. I selected this model as it's just the two of us (plus the dog), and it had a dedicated Jasmine rice setting which is pretty much the only rice we ...

Previously I had a super cheap rice cooker that was like $25. I decided to step up and get something nicer. At roughly $130 I was expecting this thing to make some amazing rice. I was rudely awakened to first learn it takes AN HOUR to make rice versus the 20 or so minutes with my cheap one. I follow...

The good? This device makes very good white rice. The bad? It has many options and controls, most of which we will never use. Also, you can’t add anything but rice and water. I used to cook rice with various broths and spices like saffron. Can’t do that with this one. And at this point in history, e...

For us, a great rice cooker is essential and our recent Zojirushi induction model with Jasmine setting is amazing. We used to cook mostly jasmine but now do incredible Gaba Brown most often. We thought this smaller NS-LHC05 was going to be ideal for our second home yet saddened to learn that for bro...

Maybe I had too high expectation because of the price but I do not like how the rice comes out. I feel it's very mushy and gross. It also takes too long to cook. You can't change the setting once it's heated so even when you realize it won't be ready by the dinner time, you can't switch it to quick ...

Can't complain that it doesn't cook rice well- it does do a great job. BUT! I've been cooking rice for over 35 years as I've used far cheaper rice cookers that's just as good for white rice and in far less time than anhour. In my opinion, it's not worth the expense, unless you cook a lot of other ty...

Replacing a 5 years old Panasonic SR-DF101 (non-stick lining failing). Spooked by a single reviewer here stating this is fake Zojirushi, but received item feels well made, 3mm thick wall cooking pot and water level well marked, well written manuals plus warranty paperworks. This 3 cup is one of the ...

Downsized from 10cups Zojirushi to this 3 cup Zojirushi rice cooker (NS-LHC05XT). I eat rice very frequently but when I cook just a few cups in a 10cup rice cooker it dries out very easily and takes a lot of space. So I finally broke down and downsized to this 3 cup Zojirushi and am very happy I did...

Finally a rice cooker that makes rice with the same texture as we get at restaurants! It really does make perfect white rice. We had a cheap rice cooker that did a good enough job, but no matter how much we tinkered with the amount of water, rice and washing/soaking time, we couldn't it get it just ...

I thought maybe it was just my cooker, but I see other reviews that talk about 90+ cook times It makes good rice, but my other Zojirushi did white rice in 22-24 minutes. Of the three Zojirushi rice makers I've had, this is the only one that takes literally 98 minutes to cook brown rice. I'm not kidd...
