Crazy Perfect Rice!
By R. Moroney
My wife said I was crazy to spend so much just to cook rice. That was until she tried the rice! When she tried the oatmeal, she started telling all of our friends and family about how incredible it is. We've had this machine for 4 months and use it several times per week for both rice and oatmeal.

Rice:
It makes the ultimate rice every time. The best feature is that it keeps the rice warm and perfect for up to 8 hours. It does this by having an excellent seal between the lid and the bowl, plus very accurate temperature control. We picked up a 25 lb. bag of Kokuho Rose pre-washed rice at Costco for something like $0.50 per lb. My family loves it!

Rice Pudding:
Italian rice or Arborio rice - We made this over the Christmas holidays. Just follow the recipe on the bag using the white rice cycle. Serve with a little butter, sugar, and cinnamon, it's heaven.

Oatmeal:
This is my personal favorite. I always wanted to try Irish oats but was put off by the time consuming process of cooking and stirring. This cooker makes oats effortlessly. (By the way, from www.foodsubs.com/GrainOats.html, steel-cut oats = Irish oats = Scotch oats = pinhead oats = coarse-cut oats = steel-cut oatmeal = Irish oatmeal = Scotch oatmeal = pinhead oatmeal = coarse-cut oatmeal = porridge oats = porridge oatmeal. These are whole oat grains chopped into small pieces. They're a little bit chewier than rolled oats, grain aficionados often prefer them for hot oatmeal cereals and muesli.)

To make oatmeal, put the cooker on the porridge cycle. You should only cook 1 to 1.25 cups of Irish oats per batch, more than this (or less) have caused my batches to boil, which puts oats in the steam vent. To prevent this, I use the porridge cycle combined with the pre-washed rice setting, this gives the oats a few extra minutes to soak. That seems to minimize the tendency of the oats to boil over. Another option is to let the oats soak overnight, then there's a lot less "free" water to boil over. My last choice for preventing boilover is to stir the mixture halfway through the cycle. Guaranteed to work but I usually forget. When it does boil over, it's not impossible to clean the oats out of the steam vent. But it is a pain.

1 cup of dry oats makes 2 to 3 servings;
add 2 cups +3 oz of water = 19 ozs

1.25 cups of dry oats makes 3 to 4 servings;
add 3 cups of water = 24 ozs.

If you don't get to the porridge as soon as the cycle is complete, it is still great to eat for an hour or so, you'll just have to mix some milk into the result. Add pure maple syrup for a taste that is pure luxury.

We get steel-cut oats in a 70 oz. can from store.honeyvillegrain.com. Six cans cost $34.50 delivered. The cans are hermetically sealed and advertised to last for years, but we're already into the third can.

Build quality on this machine is number 1. The bowl is the best too, rice almost never sticks to it. If it does, just soak it in warm water for a while and it will dissolve. Oatmeal literally falls out of the bowl after it cools off.

What can you say...
By A Customer
Cant find any negative things to say about this made in Japan Zojirushi rice cooker. Make sure when you buy zojirushi items that you get the made in japan version. I know for sure that ZAC10, ZAC18, KCC05, VBC-18 are all made in Japan. The others like MYC, PC models are made in China. I like these much better because they have the legendary quality of made in Japan models. It makes all sorts of rice and you can also make dishes inside the cooker. I also like to steam things like dumplings and chinese bread.

excellent tasting, but...
By oriolesfan
There is no question that this makes excellent rice. The instructions for making porridge (grits, oatmeal, etc.) make it a little hard to come out as good as the rice. The only real gripe I have about this is the inner pot. It scratched after only about 3 uses. I only use the plastic paddle it comes with, so I am a bit perplexed as to how this happened. I went to the Zojirushi website to order a replacement and was astonished to see that this inner pot costs near $50 to replace!
