Help me pick a rice cooker

[Anonymous]

Mine is old. We are a family of 4 and use it many times a week. only for rice. Have Aroma but it's too big. I'm willing to spend more for a multi-function, smaller option. Ideas?

I have a basic Zojirushi I’ve used daily for many years.

We've had this for decades and use it weekly if not more. It's fantastic. https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-ZCC10-Uncooked-Premium-1-0-Liter/dp/B00007J5U7/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.d9YHguFu6dWH4Vgl_hImUxiC0zsfLZtYWHXvAZLgLtWvmYKbyR0shrn5JaNwDM5racegoe1Z-CtlW8Dlxd58kINg96bSsrYFGVvv7b9Keo87WFbBAJdPDYk25EFcfqv-92J6AjsvdS5xAmmThrQzcwov4yxG-j7PBVsV5EUFStFpNUlpLaZK-cS7PBNLXuqraAQkFYW3q9_UOkNoq3hB98Uv0tfNeszqSqU3fLfP3ve6Y6HFKUD4-gLzxW_rkD12xpPBSW4urF3kRzUAhktXjxOhdqu7h5Z9Oq1zAhmbWmQ.ilMO7wWxrd4ds2wRuOIT1EG4dkMDUrFywDnLYyM_KaA&dib_tag=se&hvadid=409988017161&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9029978&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16464204789569710688&hvtargid=kwd-165801336&hydadcr=13738_11420178&keywords=zojirushi%2Brice-cooker&qid=1708561088&s=home-garden&sr=1-3&th=1

Yup, was about to post this. Works perfectly. You don’t need the fancy, expensive ones that cost 400+. This workhorse right here is all you need.

I’ve used used something similar to this one. I used it 3-4 times a week. I can make white, brown, sticky, sweet, etc. Mine is 20 years old.

I’d be careful about the Zojirushis. Most are sprayed with that PFAS/teflon material. I miss the old school rice cookers, with the metal bowls.

Instant pot. Stainless steel interior. Can do other things.

The Tiger rice cooker at Costco is totally great. I think it was $80ish.
It does 3 cups of white rice in about 15-20 minutes. For brown rice it takes about an hour, but it comes out perfect.
For quinoa it also takes a while, I want to say about 45 minutes, but result is excellent and better than stovetop.
I've also done rice and beans in it, probably also an hour.

I have the pink and cream Cuckoo. Cuckoo is an excellent Korean brand and I see the model is listed now for around $85.

Quinoa cooks much faster than rice in mine, like 12-15 mins.
