Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup, Very Important

Overall Rating4.54.54.54.54.5

Very Important

This is an excellent rice cooker but I would like to point out something very important. The directions say specifically that you must wash the rice in a strainer until the water that runs through them comes out clear. This is very important. If you are having problems with the rice bubbling up over the top of the rice cooker and getting on the counter, you probably aren’t washing the rice or aren’t washing it well enough. Also if you are having problems with a crust on the bottom of the rice, you probably aren’t washing the rice or aren’t washing it well enough. Start washing your rice and you probably won’t see those two problems again. Also the rice comes out much fluffier and less gummy if you wash it. The reason for this is that, when you get uncooked rice, there is a large amount of excess starch that is stuck to the outside of the rice that gets stuck there when the rice is processes.

Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Be sure to wash your rice…
I love my rice cooker and use it several times a week! But you need to wash your rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help with the “spitting water” problem the cooker has.I enjoy using the steamer for kale, broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots. The only trick is learning when to put the veggies in while the rice is cooking so that the veggies don’t overcook.My brown rice tends to clump and stick on the bottom, even when the rice is washed. That’s one problem that keeps me from rating this as a 5 star machine. The other problem is that the instruction booklet is poorly done. Brown rice needs to soak for 30 minutes before starting to cook.
