[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer. I have never owned or tried a rice cooker before so I was excited to try this out. We usually only buy the easy microwaveable white rice but enjoy Asian food, especially sticky rice. This cooker holds up to 5.5 cups of rice, quinoa, or steel cut oatmeal. It has different settings where you can cook different types of grains with just the touch of a button. I also love how the design is compact and sleek- I can just leave it on my kitchen counter and the cord is retractable. It also comes with a measuring cup, rice paddle and holder. It’s also extremely easy to clean. The first day I got it, I was able to make the perfect sticky rice in just under 30 minutes. The second time I went to make rice the same way as I did the first, it didn’t come out quite as right, it seemed to have left a lot of the liquid. The third time I used it the same way I ended up getting an error code saying the lid was too hot and had to cool down. For reference- if you get an error code you can use the manual to look up what it means. This rice cooker not only cooks different types of grains but it will also steam vegetables and it does that job quite well. Overall, I think this is a great product that’s easy to use. I have ran into a couple of problems with cooking in it but I think maybe it’s just some quirks I have to work out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's so great to hear that you are enjoying your first rice cooker! This is a great model to start with. Usually the rice cooker will take about 40 minutes to cook white rice since it soaks, cooks, and steams it. At the end the rice should not have any liquid let over. If you are using STEAM setting to cook rice then it will not cook it very well. The rice cooker needs to cool down between cooking batches and cannot cook consecutively. I would recommend getting in touch with our Customer Support Team for assistance on for help on how to use the rice cooker and visit our "Know your rice" page for instructions on how to cook sticky rice to perfection with your new rice cooker: https://www.zojirushi.com/grains/nstsc10a.html
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so surprised at how easy it is to make steamed rice in this rice cooker! Very simple, and does not take long at all. It comes with instruction booklet that shows more than one way the rice can be cooked. Neat item to have in the kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this rice cooker. My rice comes out perfect each time. I love that I can also use it to steam vegetables. It it easy to use and has an lcd panel. It fit perfectly on my counter. Really cuts down cooking time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It made the white rice perfectly. The next day it didn't smell or turn yellow. I like that it has a big handle. Also when I carry it, it is so light. It also came with a rice measuring cup and a steamer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes perfectly steamed vegetables, spot on rice of all types, and if you have time oatmeal. Cooks it right the first time with little fuss. This machine is also super easy to clean and store, especially with the retracting cord and plug. One of the best parts, at least to me, is changing the notification melody! All in all if you want a rice cooker/steamer that will last your lifetime and possibly your children's, this is the way to go.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first pulled out the directions I was scared. However, actually using it was so easy. Made some quinoa with it and it was a snap. Love, love, love the retractable cord. keeps the counter tidy. The only bad thing is you can't lose the cup. My guess is it's precise, but I can measure it out using my standard cup sizes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a awesome rice cooker I’ve used it a couple of times in just the first week! At first I used it for White rice which was super yummy and was the preferred texture. Then I got adventurous and decided to put some spices in it. I was I was able to add the spices before cooking it in the aroma of the rice cooking me the entire house smell wonderful and the rice was perfect. But the best part of the rice cooker is using it to make sushi rice. I’ve attempted to make sushi many times before and was never successful because the consistency of the rice was incorrect. I followed the recipe in the book and it made the most amazing rice that held the sushi perfectly! This is a must have for rice lovers
