It's a great little rice cooker. Follow the directions, use the measuring cup provided and let it go, it makes great tasting rice. I made steel cut oatmeal yesterday, it turned out fine but it overflowed a bit. I was not happy about that. It's also very easy to clean. I would recommend it, the size is perfect for 1 or 2 people. I did my research and wasn't sure if a rice cooker would work for me. I've been making rice on the stove for years but I'm glad I bought it. I originally wanted a more expensive one with more bells and whistles but I chose this one to see if I would use it often. So far I used it almost every day!
this rice cooker does exactly as needed/expected. I like that it isn't confusing with too many buttons and options- just an on/off. for a 2 person household its the perfect size
We're not fancy people-- just needed a rice cooker to cook jasmine rice, and this is the ideal unit. Incredibly smooth cook, consistent after several uses so far (consistency is extremely important for me). Definitely recommend!
My NHS-06 is great for a bachelor. One-touch operation -- when the rice is ready, it turns off. I put the rice into my dish (vegetables, meat, sauces) and enjoy! And the Zojirushi reputation should mean a long life. GREAT online recipes will help me make more enjoyable dishes. Thanks!
I cook rice often but my needs are very simple and I did not need anything fancy, just reliable. I was familiar with the Zojirushi brand from recipe forums and it was well-liked by ‘serious’ rice fans, and I can see why! I only needed the simplest model, but it is perfect for me; it cooks much faster than my old rice cooker and is much easier to clean. I like the Japanese rice cup too as it easily makes a ‘perfect portion’ without any fuss. The steaming function also makes great dumplings. Very happy with my choice!
