  • Number of Grain or Rice Cups

  Zojirushi rice cooker is available in 3-cup, 5-and-a-half-cup and 10-cup. You can choose among this three whichever is most suitable for your situation.

  Let’s say, you already have a wife or husband. You can choose between a 3-cup and 5-and-a-half-cup rice cookers depending on how often are you going to cook. On the other hand, if you have a family of four or five members, and rice is already staple on your food table, a 10-cup rice cooker is the best choice. You no longer have to cook rice again, as a 10-cup can suffice until dinner for a whole family.

  As I have mentioned, I have the NS-LAC05 Micom 3-Cup model. I am usually the only one at home, so for me, a small rice cooker is ideal. What I like about this product is that it is space-saving and lightweight. It only weighs 7 pounds and has size dimensions of 12 x 9 x 8 inches.

  Cooking Food Aside from Rice

  With the technology brought by the Japanese to rice cooker products, an individual can now cook food aside from grains. Usually, you will find forums discussing how to use a modern rice cooker for making stew, porridge, oatmeal and dessert. There is also a high chance that you might read tips on how to cook vegetables, seafood and even meat.

  Mainly, I bought a Zojirushi rice cooker for this purpose. Yes, I eat rice but not always. Oftentimes, I use this rice cooker to make an oat meal to prep up my mornings. In fact, here is a tip on how to use your Zojirushi for a steel-cut oat meal.
