Zojirushi Rice Cooker and Warmer Review

The Zojirushi Rice Cooker and Warmer will be your new favorite appliance.

The Zojirushi Rice Cooker and Warmer is a Powered by Mom Holiday Gift Guide Top Pick

While working on our For the Home section of our gift guide this year I was given the opportunity to work with Zojirushi, a company based out of Japan, and the fun part about it was that they were a brand that I remember having in my home while growing up. My mom always had a Zojurishi rice cooker in the house during my growing up years, they made the best rice. It was great to be able to bring the brand back into our home as my daughter is a huge fan of rice and likes for us to eat brown as often as possible.

The NS-ZCC10 Zojirshi rice cooker would make a great addition to any kitchen this holiday season, especially if you have a family member or two that are big rice fans. I remember having perfectly cooked, fluffy rice every time with the Zojirushi and I’m happy to report that the NS-ZCC10 Zojurishi rice cooker and warmer lives up to its predecessors reputation. It even has a special setting meant just for brown rice which was great for my daughters preferences!

This particular model rice cooker features advanced Neuro Fuzzy logic technology, which allows the cooker to think for itself and make the needed adjustments in terms of temperature and heating time. This “artificial intelligence” so to speak, guarantees perfectly cooked rice every time.

Just use the measuring cups they provide to measure the rice, add in the corresponding amount of water and it does the rest. Well you do have to rinse the rice yourself but it’s just so easy to you. Select the rice or porridge setting you want and it does the work for you. Our reice is never too moist or too dry it seriously is perfect every time.

I think I’ll make some porridge with my Zojirushi Rice Cooker & Warmer tomorrow!

Additional features of the NS-ZCC10 include:

  •  Automatic keep warm, extended keep warm and reheating cycle
  • Spherical inner cooking pan and heating system
  • Delay timer
  • Built-in retractable power cord
  • Delay timer with 2 settings
  • Menu settings that include white (regular/sushi, softer or harder) mixed, porridge, sweet, semi-brown, brown and rinse-free.

It’s always fun to reconnect with brands that you grew up with and know they’re still going strong providing you with appliances that withstand the test of time. Having the ZCC10 has made my daughter very happy, so, I know it’ll be getting plenty of use from here on out.

  1. I have wanted a rice cooker for a long time and this cooker looks awesome. I love that it has setting for brown rice.

  4. I really like that it uses Fuzzy Logic to calculate adjustments itself. I expect that would make it a lot easier if you wanted to cook different grains or varieties of rice. I love rice and don’t mind making a big batch to reheat in the microwave for a few days.

  6. my son is not a chef by no means…BUT he loves rice and soon he will be leaving home and I would love to give this to him because then he could make PERFECT RICE all the time. Even he couldn’t mess up with the instructions inside the bowl area. He also loves sushi so he could make the rice and try making his own sushi. I love that the rice is perfect all the time. even I burn the bottom sometimes and I am a very good cook.

    Reply

  7. I was very glad to read that brown rice can also be cooked, as that is my preferred rice. Also I’m wondering if Wild Rice can be cooked in it. I’ll have to research more.

    Reply

  8. This has way more features than my 30 year old rice cooker. I like the idea of “artificial intelligence” so it can adjust as needed. I also like that it has an oatmeal setting. Pretty nice appliance.

    Reply

  9. I like that it has a large display easily readable area on the front the most. Also the buttons don’t look tiny like on other rice cookers. I think we would eat healthier more often if I had one of these on the countertop. It would be right there so no excuses not to use it more often.

  10. I learned that it:
    Automatic keep warm, extended keep warm and reheating cycle
    Spherical inner cooking pan and heating system
    Delay timer
    Built-in retractable power cord
    Delay timer with 2 settings
    Menu settings that include white (regular/sushi, softer or harder) mixed, porridge, sweet, semi-brown, brown and rinse-free.

  12. I never knew there was a porridge button; that is so cool to know! My friend’s mom had a Neuro Fuzzy when I was a teenager, and there was alllllways warm brown rice or quinoa to snack on!

    Reply

  13. the delay tuner is so awesome. I wouldn’t have to rely on someone to remember to start the rice. which “someone” always forgets.

    Reply

  14. I have never owned a rice cooker before. I love that you can prepare a lot of different varieties of rice. This would be an excellent addition to our family appliances.

    Reply

  15. I really appreciate that the Zojirushi Rice Cooker has menu settings that include the different varieties of rice as I find that brown rice which is one of my families favorites is especially challenging for me to get just the right consistency

    Reply

  18. I love that it’s not a generic rice cooker – it actually has settings for the different kinds of rice! So nice!

    Reply

  19. Delayed timer, retractable cord, and it looks so user friendly. I can’t wait to use this rice cooker!

    Reply

  20. Nice review. I like to make wild rice but one cycle in mine doesn’t cook it enough. This one’s special settings would work well for my needs.

    Reply

  21. (Zojirushi Rice Cooker and Warmer Review) This rice cooker and warmer sounds like something that I would buy for a family member here in our house. I like all the great things that this cooker can do.

    Reply

  22. I love how it is multi-functional and can think for itself. It knows when the rice is done and even has a setting just for brown rice. It cooks perfectly every time!

    Reply

  23. I love the retractable power cord and the fact that it can think for itself. I think it is a lot smarter than me.

    Reply

  26. I love that this rice cooker can handle different types of rice! I cook a lot of Indian dishes as well as a lot of sushi rice, so I’m very excited to see that the Zojirushi can handle them correctly. I always end up overcooking my rice, it’s sad 🙁

    Reply

  28. Oh this is so cool! A delay timer! I have friends with one and they cook everything in it! I would love this!

    Reply

  29. I like the different setting such as sweet which means that the cooker adjusts the temperature for each setting

    Reply

  33. Based out of Japan: has to be good. I like that it has so many settings! I always feel like brown rice takes a long time to cook

    Reply

  34. Thank you for the great review.
    What a great, detailed write up AND the product itself. The typing inside with measurements is so convenient! And the digital screen too.
    Since our counters are also our kitty cat counters, this would make us feel safer as well since if they ever chose to, the regullar type could burn their noses. This is so nice and cuddly looking too. 😉

    Reply

  35. I really like that it has a retractable cord…I hate the tangled mess of cords in my appliance cupboard!

    Reply

  36. Great photos. I’m really curious about trying the porridge setting. Also, I like the automatic adjustments. My kitchen can be scorching hot or downright chilly depending on what’s going on and what time of year it is. It’s nice that the rice cooker will make little adjustments for me based on things like the ambient temp.

    Reply

  37. I like that the rice cooker is “smart” – sometimes a busy mom can make a mistake (I know… I know..) and with the cooker being able to make adjustments, it’s one less thing I have to worry about.

    Reply

  40. it really convenient that it has it own artificial intelligence to help with cooking the rice. i didn’t even think one would do that. and all the setting to choice how to cook it make more wonderful.

    Reply

  41. I love the “special setting for brown rice” because it is so hard to perfectly cook them otherwise. This would definitely help me prepare rice for my family.

    Reply

  44. I like the part of the review that shows that brown rice can also be made in this rice cooker. My old one couldn’t, and the brown rice always came out with hard bits. This review makes me think that this is the rice cooker that I need.

    Reply

  45. I love the different settings, especially the one for brown rice. The logic system seems like a good addition and I’m surprised other machines don’t necessarily follow suit. Great to hear that it works well though.

    Reply

  46. The “Neuro Fuzzy logic technology” feature sounds fantastic. It looks like a definite foolproof way to get perfectly cooked rice every time.

    Reply

  47. the Zojirushi Rice Cooker and Warmer has a more space age look I like. I’ve never used any kind of rice cooker so I can’t compare it to anything. I’d love to make fluffy white rice as compared to the sticky, burnt rice I made in my slow cooker. It’s going to become a staple in our home so I need more recipes other than my chicken and rice I used to be so good at making. I remember Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy eating rice with milk for breakfast, I actually like it myself. Maybe a little cinnamon and brown sugar now. But it will definitely be used daily here if I had it.

    Reply

  49. This would come in so handy! I’m so horrible at making rice on the stove, and this way seems so convenient!

    Reply

  52. I really like all of the different functions/ settings on this. I love rice but have never used or had a rice cooker. This sounds great.

    Reply

  54. So excited that it has a special setting for brown rice. We also are big fans of the delay timer. So handy for us working folks.

    Reply

  55. I love how this rice cooker has many settings to cook your rice, the retractable cord, Delay Timer actually i love everything about it

    Reply

  58. I love that this rice cooker has a delayed timer with 2 settings. I could prepare the rice ahead of time and it would start automatically.

    Reply

  60. This rice cooker looks fantastic! I cook all kinds of things in my rice cooker and this one looks like it has so many features I would LOVE to have. Neuro Fuzzy logic technology!!!! Sounds perfect!! I just saw a youtube video on slow cooking with this rice cooker! Oh, the things I could cook!!!

    Reply

  61. This would be such a great addition to my kitchen! I seriously need one of these! ? It seems fail proof, I could get my preteen daughter to help make rice now. ❤

    Reply

  63. What impress me about this rice cooker is that it adjust the cooking time to make perfect rice. I also like that it keeps rice warm.

    Reply

  66. What an awesome rice cooker, I love all of the settings! I have always wanted one, fresh rice is so much better than instant! 🙂 I think this one is so cool because of all of the different buttons for how you want to cook your rice, very handy!

    Reply

  67. I love that it has a warm and reheat setting. My father-in-law works odd hours and sometimes doesn’t get home to eat till between1-3 am.

    Reply

  69. I’ve heard so many good things about this brand. I imagine having a rice cooker would give me a consistently better product since I’m so horrible at making rice.

    Reply

  70. Great review- very informative. I don’t currently have a rice cooker so I’m not familiar with them. I do like how it cooks itself and I don’t need to remember to turn off the burner when cooking rice on the stove.Thanks for the giveaway!

    Reply

  77. This rice cooker has all the bells and whistles – no guess work. The awesome technology allows the cooker to think for itself , hence, perfectly cooked rice every time.

  78. I find it interesting that the rice cooker Menu settings include white (regular/sushi, softer or harder) mixed, porridge, sweet, semi-brown, brown and rinse-free. I also like that it can keep the or reheat rice. That is a great feature.

    Reply

  81. I long for perfectly cooked, fluffy rice every time! This rice cooker seems to fulfill that requirement! I especially love the special setting for brown rice.

    Reply

  82. I have no idea what neuro fuzzy logic is but it does make great rice! I love that it has a retractable cord – no more cords all over the counter.

    Reply

  86. I love that it has a special setting for brown rice! That is so cool. I use my rice cooker everyday, but need to monitor it while making brown rice. This is awesome!!!

    Reply

  88. This is an awesome rice cooker with little room to fail. Many times when I make rice, I mess it up and it is either under cooked or overcooked. This is the cooker for me.

    Reply

  89. I really like that there are different settings depending on the type of rice you need. I saw the sushi setting and this made me happy! I love that there are so many different ways we can cook rice using this machine!

    Reply

  90. This would make my life so much easier. My son eats white rice with every meal, even breakfast. His favorite way to eat it is as a soup with vegetable broth and rice, that’s it.

    Reply

  95. I love that it has a reheating cycle, my daughter and I always eat before my husband gets home from work and he had to hear it up in the microwave, HD would definitely love this feature.

    Reply

  96. This looks awesome. The Neuro Fuzzy logic technology sounds so cool because I don’t always know exactly what settings to put a cooking device on.

    Reply

  97. It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked any type of rice besides Minute Rice. I remember how rice cooks: nice and fluffy in the center of the pan and then a nice little crunchy “bowl” on the outside. We’re trying to eat healthier and I think this would help tremendously.

    Reply

  99. My family eats rice 4 or 5 times a week. This year for health reasons we switched to brown rice, but it is so hard to get it right! I know this rice cooker would be perfect for us though.

    Reply

  103. I think the Neuro Fuzzy technology would really come in handy – especially if you want to do more than just cook plain white rice.

    Reply

  106. I love that it has so many settings, including brown rice, and the smart technology for a perfect cook sounds so awesome.

    Reply

  107. Since we often eat rice in our family, it would be great to have a cooker that makes “perfect” rice every time. A bonus to me with this type of cooker is the easy-to-read colored LCD control panel with Clock and Timer functions.

    Reply

  110. I’m intrigued by the neuro fuzzy technology because it’s hard to get the best results for rice without constantly monitoring. I like this “set it and forget” function!

    Reply

  111. my daughter is a vegan, and has been dying to have a rice cooker. she wants the ease of having dinner when she gets home

    Reply

  113. I love all the menu options; even my youngest daughter can use it. The delay option and keep warm feature makes sure that the rice will be done and warm along with whatever meat use in my slow cooker while we are out all day. Everything about this is perfect.

    Reply

  115. I like that the Rice Cooker was developed by a company in Japan. The Japanese are experts on Rice. Also I really like that there is a Brown Rice Feature. We eat a lot of Brown Rice and Jasmine Rice.

    Reply

  116. I like that the rice cooker uses fuzzy logic to automatically make adjustments to cook the rice correctly every time. I also like that it has a retractable power cord since I find it really annoying when an appliance just has a cord hanging out and you have to figure out how to fold it or wrap it to store the appliance when you aren’t using it.

    Reply

  118. I love the menu settings, or I’d like to call it a dummy-proof index love that plus the logic technology it sounds like a must-have device for my kitchen the retractable cord is a nice bonus to save space.

    Reply

  119. I love that it has this technology which allows the cooker to think for itself and make the needed adjustments in terms of temperature and heating time.

  120. I love that this cooker has Menu settings that include white (regular/sushi, softer or harder) mixed, porridge, sweet, semi-brown, brown and rinse-free.It sounds real easy to use

    Reply

  123. I love cooked rice. And this would be great to has. I hate when rice gets cold and sticky and this would keep it warm for me.

    Reply

  125. This Zojirushi Rice Cooker & Warmer sounds amazing. My family loves rice and getting it right is usually a hit or miss proposition. I like that it is clearly marked inside where to add the water and that it makes perfect rice every time.

    Reply

  126. I love that the Neuro Fuzzy logic technology guarantees perfectly cooked rice every time and that it’s easy to use.

    Reply

  127. I love the idea of “Neuro Fuzzy” Logic technology! A rice cooker that can think for itself doesn’t scare me too much, as long as it doesn’t refuse to make me rice when I’m hungry.

    Reply

  130. i have always wanted a rice cooker. i am not good at making rice. i love that this has made that process doable for me.

    Reply

  132. My spouse’s favorite food is rice (seriously), so I make rice frequently. Fortunately, I found a small Zojirushi at Goodwill, and it’s amazing. However, it’s also too small and not particularly versitile. The model you’ve reviewed looks like it’s just what I’ve always dreamed of in a rice cooker. The Neuro-Fuzzy Logic feature is amazing, and I’d love to try some recipes using the Porridge setting. Thanks for your review.

    Reply

  133. It has a sushi rice setting? I think I know what I want to christams! we moved to a new town that doesn’t have a sushi place and I miss my sushi fix. Also you make it sound so easy! I struggle making rice that is edible. can’t seem to get it right.

    Reply

  135. I like that you can choose which type of rice you are using and it will adjust cooking time accordingly. I’ve learned the hard way that different types of rice don’t cook the same and will end up dried out.

    Reply

  136. Zojirushi Rice Cooker makes cooking rice do easy! Love that you can just pour the rice in and not use a measuring cup and all the selection for the different rices is great.

    Reply

  138. I like that it has different setting for the different types of rice! The one we have doesn’t have this so I always have to guess on time and it’s hit or miss on whether the rice is cooked. I love the retractable cord too!

    Reply

  139. I love how this rice cooker has many settings to cook your rice based on what you are using it for or how done you want it cooked. I like to make fried rice but it never turns out like the restaurants fried rice.

    Reply

  140. I make good rice. For whatever reason I’ve not had any issues.
    I’ve heard rice cookers are grat for steaming veggies

    Reply

  143. Hubby and I are both fans of rice, different kinds although our favorite is Jasmine. This cooker looks really cool because of the different things you can make in it and not just rice. I like porridge as well as the sweet setting, love sweet rice with cinnamon and cream. Num. I know I would get a lot of use out of a rice cooker like this, Thanks!

    Reply

  146. thank you for reviewing this. i have been sketpical of these but i think i need to bite the bullet and get one

    Reply

  147. This would be perfect in my home! I love making rice and rice pudding! You are right, brown rice is a must in our house. The size and set it and forget it seems amazing. I am always burning the rice on the bottom of pan on stove top lol!!! This would help!

    Reply

  149. The Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer is the rice lovers dream! I love the versatility of this cooker. I would have perfect rice every time and be able to either keep it warm, reheat it or both, (this is assuming that any rice would be left)! With a design I love and features that instill confidence, this is the rice cooker I need in my kitchen.

    Reply

  150. I love all the features this machine has, but especially that it does sushi rice without having to get a special machine. My son loves sushi but I can never get the rice right.

    Reply

  151. In my original comment in the beginning I said I’d give it to my daughter. After reading the review, beck keep it for myself. Retractable cord, I love that. Wish all appliances had that. Learning that it cooks porridge(oatmeal in my vocabulary) is a plus and the ability to make rice for sushi that’s a winner for me.

    Reply

  154. This will make a lot of rice (and other things, too). I like the multiple choices for setting cooking times, instead of the lower end rice cookers ON and WARM settings.

    Reply

  156. I love that it can make brown rice and it looks so fluffy and not at all crispy! It has so many settings to make my life a whole lot easier. I love it!

    Reply

  157. I like all of the different settings, especially that you can cook brown rice on a separate setting. I also like that it adjusts the cook time and temperature so the rice doesn’t get burned.

    Reply

  158. I like the feature of keeping the rice warm through the meal. And, all the kinds of rice it makes. It would be a very useful kitchen helper!!!

    Reply

  160. I love that it has such specific settings

    Menu settings that include white (regular/sushi, softer or harder) mixed, porridge, sweet, semi-brown, brown and rinse-free.

    Now that is taking the risk totally out of making rice!

    Reply

  162. I also grew up with rice cookers having a permanent place on the kitchen counter. They have many more features these days. The fuzzy logic and brown rice/porridge features are pretty nice options to have.

    Reply

  163. I love that this cooker has a setting for white rice and sushi rice. I only make medium grain Cal-Rose rice (sticky rice), so I’m happy to see that this traditional rice cooker has a setting just for that! I also think it’s awesome that it has a reheat button!

    Reply

  169. I love that it has a Delay Timer; you can set it up and come home and the rice is made. I’m from New Orleans. We eats rice with everything!

    Reply

  170. Oh there are so many things I could make with this! I would love to have it for when I make sushi. Plus there are so many other types of rice it cooks too. I love the timer function, and the retractable cord is a big plus!

  171. This particular model rice cooker features advanced Neuro Fuzzy logic technology, which allows the cooker to think for itself and make the needed adjustments in terms of temperature and heating time. wow with this its practically fool proof
