I had an older-style Tiger cooker we used for years. This Zojirushi inductive rice cooker we got is doing a much superior job on everything we’ve used it for. Well the oatmeal is gummier than I like, but of course it isn’t actually designed for that. Brown rice is particularly much, much better than it was on the old rice cooker. The other two things we’ve used it for are white rice and quinoa.
I really like the fact the delay timer is designed to have you set a target time. That’s a lot easier than having to do the math to figure out when to start cooking.
I’ve gotten my results by measuring servings in grams according to the package, because I prefer to deal with mass instead of volume in cooking measurement. And as for the amount of water to add, it’s worked very well to use the markings in the rice cooker’s pot. They’re easy to see because the water really obscures them well when the level is reached. My previous rice cooker you could go blind trying to read the water level.
Due to the inductive cooking, it seems we don’t have hot spots on the pot that cause crusting and inevitably peel off the coating. I’m thinking this will definitely allow the coating to stay on far longer than it will for a traditional heater element cooker. Also, the rice texture is more consistent throughout. These appear to make the extra cost for inductive worth it.
I was worried about the cost when I bought this. We don’t have a lot of money. However, rice is a very important part of our diet, so we can spend more money on something like this based on per-use benefit. This rice cooker has really helped, and we’re very happy we got it.
