Product Description
Zojirushi Micom 3 Cup Rice Cooker
Amazon.com Review
"Micom" means this sleek rice cooker is computer-controlled and ultra high-tech, from its spherical, nonstick pan to its "surround heating" system to its LCD clock and timer. (Program the cooker in the morning and have hot rice available immediately after work.) It not only cooks up to 3 cups of dry rice, but offers a choice of white/brown, mixed, sweet, and porridge settings. A quick-cooking option cuts time by 10 minutes. Rice is automatically kept at warm for hours, and a reheat feature brings it back to serving temperature. Instructions and a cooking chart explain everything. At 10-3/4 by 8-1/2 by 8 inches, it's remarkably compact and also lightweight. Transport it by its handle. Cord retracts for storage. --Fred Brack

 Rice and oatmeal too September 16, 2008
Jody Hudson (New Bern, NC United States)
I had been using a $20 rice cooker for my morning oatmeal and got tired of the frequent and unpredictable boilover events, all the while kept trying to find some combination of operation without the lid or propping up the lid with a spoon that would not create a mess on the counter. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Zojirushi NS-KCC05. I am extremely satisfied with it. It makes perfect oatmeal, with no hint of wanting to boil over. The timer is an unexpected and much appreciated feature. It makes the long (about an hour) cooking time not a problem.
Oh yes, and it also makes perfect brown rice. My $20 cooker always produced a burned layer at the bottom of the pot. Nary a charred bit of rice with the Zojirushi. I will be trying more adventurous rice-and-vegetable recipes soon.
And the pot lining has so far (after about two months) showed no sign of wanting food to stick to it. It is a breeze to clean.
The instructions took several readings to understand the operation of what is a very simple and well-designed machine. They may have been intended for a user with a long acquaintance with similar appliances.
Addendum: the preceding applies to McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. It has never boiled over in the Zojirushi in twenty or more times. I just tried going back to Quaker Oats Old-Fashioned Oatmeal (much cheaper, but not as good), and it has boiled over three times in three attempts. Each time I prepared a single serving (40 grams, 1/2 cup) with 8 oz water. The first two tries had dry milk and cinnamon sugar mixed in, but even when omitting these last two on the third try it still boiled over. The Zojirushi is very difficult to clean after a boilover. Conclusion: McCann's forever for me.
My Little Buddy!!! Makes Perfectly Cooked Rice Every Time!! Compact, Quick and Efficient!!!!!!!!! June 16, 2008

This great little rice cooker is a godsend - a blessing!! It meets and exceeds all of my expectations!
In the two years that I've had it, I'd like to say that I've got nothing but good praises and great appreciation for this unit!! It cooks enough rice to accommodate up to six people at 1/2 a cup apiece!! And it does it with such great precision and efficiency!
And if you can't serve the rice when it's done, the cooker will automatically go into the Keep Warm setting. So that you'll have hot rice e3ven if it's about 20 minutes later!!
It's quick, powerful, compact and convenient!! Gets the job done! And using it is such a joy and plessure!! I love it!! I sometimes get the urge and have to give it a rub or pat on the back like I would with a litte boy!!! It makes perfect rice everytime!!

How did I ever get by without one? January 24, 2008

Having owned a much cheaper rice cooker that never managed to cook nice rice, I took a chance on this one. Boy am I glad I did! It is worth the price, no question. I am a total Zojirushi convert and I will never be without one again. This thing is a little odd looking but it's just beautifully engineered.
LOVE IT January 10, 2008

Hi, We love this little rice maker, it's the perfect size for the countertop and makes perfect stickyrice every time. warming feature is very useful and doesn't dry out the rice. Owned ~ 2yrs & love it, no problems! Highly Recommended.
A wonderful machine! December 9, 2007
Erik N. Christensen (Sebring, FL USA)
I have been using this rice cooker almost daily for four years. It has worked flawlessly for me. The non-stick liner really works - I have never had rice stick to the bottom. I really like this machine because it can cook small amounts of rice. I usually cook 1/2 cup of rice for my wife and I and it works great. The timer function is really handy. If you are looking for a small capacity rice cooker that will not give you any problems - this is the one! My highest possible endorsement.
