Questions & Answers
AAC10: It's more expensive because it's made in Japan, has a detachable cord, and doesn't have a 'cake' menu setting. The exterior color of the plastic is beige. Dimensions for 5 people 5 cup/1. 10-litre model (W x D x H) 1/2 x 14- 5/8 x 8- 5/8 of an inch
NS- TSC10: It's made in China (which means it'll be cheaper), has a retractable cord, and a 'cake' menu setting. The color of the exterior is stainless brown. Dimensions for 5 people 5 cup/1. 10-litre model (W x D x H) 1/8 inch x 14 inch x 8 inch x 8 inch x 8 inch x 8 inch x 1/2 of an inch br>Both the NL- and the NL- NS-AAC and AAC are two different types of AAC. TSC has a menu option called "steam cook." Zojirushi Fuzzy Logic rice cookers don't seem to have a steamer basket. Both have a 120 volt / 610 watt electrical rating. I'm thinking of going with the NL- I'm an ACC, so I looked up these models on the Zojirushi website, where there's a "Zojirushi Rice Cooker Comparison Chart."
I'm not sure what you mean by the question. To make regular white rice, change the MENU arrow to "white/sushi" and then press "START/Reheat." It will take approximately 1 hour to complete. Add a tablespoon or so of water to cold rice and press the "KEEP WARM/SELECTION" button to reheat it. It's very simple. Excellent rice cooker.
You'll have to go straight to the Zojirushi website to see if a year is listed. There is no indication of the year on the cooker itself! I hope this has been of assistance.
Rice takes a lot longer to cook than vegetables do to steam. The vegetables would be mushy and overcooked as a result. The rice may not cook properly if you open the cooker too soon to retrieve the vegetables.

It was well worth the money I invested. It has literally freed up hours from my (insanely busy) week, allowing me to eat healthier and save money by avoiding the purchase of unhealthy foods. Takeout that is unhealthy. br>br>I've used this machine to make brown rice, sushi rice, and even farro (use the mixed grains setting and a little more water for the farro, and it's the best farro I've ever had). It's a little tricky to get the steaming function to work correctly - Because I dislike overcooked vegetables and because this machine heats up quickly, it took some trial and error to find the ideal timing for my steamed vegetables. I was also able to cook sweet potatoes directly in the cooking bowl by adding water to halfway cover the potatoes and then using the white rice setting (if you need a visual, there are a couple of videos on YouTube) - The best sweet potatoes I've ever had, cooked to perfection and never soggy. I haven't tried steaming chicken yet, but I believe it will be next on my list (shredded chicken for tacos, for example). In this thing, I'm also going to cook chickpeas. br>br>It's incredibly simple to clean (which saves a lot of time) - BUT BE SURE TO READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS - There's a lot of useful information here about cleaning the steam vent and the parts that go with it. Every time you use it, you MUST clean it. There's no avoiding it, but cleanup is so simple that it's not an issue.
May 2020: Because Mom wanted a new one, we gave her one of our old Tiger ones to my sisters. This is an improvement, and the little jingles are the cherry on top. It is something she adores. It does a fantastic job at cooking rice. br>br>Editor's note (July 2021): It's been a year since I got it. It's no longer the same. This is only used to cook rice, and it no longer cooks evenly. The top is cooked, but as you go down, it becomes mushy. I expected this to last at least a few years, but it only lasted a few months.
br>br>Brown rice is usually cooked on the stovetop or in the oven. The grains are more separated and have a dryer texture. We returned the cooker because, despite the fact that it has a brown rice setting, the brown rice or basmati rice it produces is not to our liking. br>br>While this rice cooker can steam other foods in addition to rice, it is not worth the storage space or cost for that purpose alone.
I debated for weeks whether to get a Zojirushi or Tiger rice cooker because I've always used Tiger and had heard that Zojirushi rice lasted longer, which is important because we eat rice for every meal and it's inconvenient to cook a fresh batch of rice all the time. The newer versions are more expensive, so I did my research and bought this older version. (There are cheaper ones, but they aren't made in Japan. ) I'm glad I bought this one because it consistently produces perfect white/sushi rice and is simple to clean and operate. Use the included cup to measure uncooked rice; the rice stayed fresh even after 31 hours, as seen in the photo; there were a few crispy bits on the side, but they didn't bother us because they were so minor. This rice cooker should be purchased! br>I was given a score of five. It's more than enough for two people with 5 cups of tea.
I've been a big fan of this brand since I first heard about it. This item was purchased from the Amazon warehouse. Because the box had been destroyed, the unit had to be repackaged. It came with everything you need (instruction manual, rice scoop, etc. ). This unit cooks rice in an hour but can cook it faster at the touch of a button. You might wonder if rice can be cooked in an hour. That was a little too long. The reason for this is that as the rice soaks up the water, it becomes easier to cook. Soaking can cut down on the amount of time it takes to cook certain types of rice (brown rice, for example). br>br>In the end, a fantastic unit at an even better price; I'd buy it again, but in a higher model, if this one ever fails.
My previous rice cooker was also a Zojirushi, but I decided to upgrade so that I could cook different types of rice, as well as steam dou sha bao and vegetables, and family members have been recommending one of the more advanced models for a while. The extended warm, reheat, and timing features are all useful as someone who is frequently gone for the majority of the day, and it's easy to use as someone who grew up with rice cookers. While I haven't tried steaming anything yet, the basket is small and requires items to be less than 1" thick, with a warning not to make any kind of steamed breads, so traditional bamboo steamers or a multifunction pot might be a better option if that's one of your main draws. I can already tell I won't be able to make siopao in this, which is a bummer, but it still cooks salmon and small vegetables (though you won't be able to steam and cook your rice at the same time if the time requirements are too dissimilar). The rice cooker comes with a manual that is helpful for understanding the proper timing for steamed items, as well as several recipes that I've tried and recommend. Another point to consider is the unit's size. The 1L option is still quite large, so take into account the amount of counter and storage space you have in your kitchen. Overall, I'm glad I bought it, and I see it as a great long-term investment. (Knock on wood) long-term investment.
I'm originally from Japan, and I was looking for Made in Japan products because we adore them. This is exactly what we used before, and I'm overjoyed to have found it on Amazon! with no shipping costs! br>This model is simple to use and maintain, and it has improved over time!.
I've made sushi rice, white rice, and brown rice - all of which were overcooked. All of them are simply overcooked. It's a total squander of funds. I purchased a rice cooker for 24 dollars ten years ago, and it has never failed to cook rice. This useless rice cooker has squandered 20 cups of rice. It's nothing but mush, and it's inedible. Don't be fooled by this company's marketing gimmicks - It's not worth your money.
