I have use electric ricer before but none as good as this one . a friend recommend this brand to I when I complain that my brown rice never come out right in the electric rice cooker that I have . my friend have this Zojirushi cooker and tell I the rice come out perfect and the bowl clean up quickly . she be right on all count ! the rice come out fluffy and do to perfection , whether I be use white short or long , or brown rice . the warmer feature be great because I can make my rice ahead of time and know that when we be ready to eat , the rice will still be nice and warm and fluffy . I would recommend this Zojirushi Rice cooker very highly .
