Zojirushi Rice Cooker
4.6
(30)
"My mom still uses her zojirushi from 30 years ago."
"For the rice, Zojirushi, check out cuckoo as well."
"Zojirushi and it’s not even a conversation."
"Instant Pot is not a good rice cooker."
"Both - zojirushi for rice and ip for other things."
"Zoji hands down in texture, aroma, and flavor."
"Zoji is the king of the rice cookers."
"Once I got my Zojirushi, it's just so much easier."
"An IP with ceramic nonstick pot isn't fairly matched against Zojirushi's fuzzy logic."
"Also Zojirushi makes the best rice, you won't regret the purchase."

"I love mine and don't even use my Crock-Pot anymore."
"So many features in one appliance."
"Definitely!"
"I just bought the 6qt instant pot duo on Amazon for I wanna say $79."
"One tip I have is to look into the pot-in-pot method for cooking."

Brikka

"Your best bet is Brikka, which has a 4-cup size, but only produces about 2+ cups of coffee."
