It's an excellent rice cooker. I am glad I purchased the Zojirushi rice cooker. Rice tested just my family liked. It looks great on my kitchen counter.
To avoid the excessive rice starch water from spewing out of the rice cooker and making a mess on the counter, rinse the drain uncooked rice with water in a fine mesh strainer. Amazon sells special plastic rice washing bowls. You rinse til the water runs clear. Sometimes it’s a lot of rinsing. Rinsing the rice also rinses away dust from the milling process. Just try this once. I think you’ll enjoy the rice better. Thank you for the video. I had one of these zojurushi rice cookers (5 cup) for years until the nonstick wore out.
Thank you for this review. I have a Korean rice cooker that has fancy features but wanted something simple for my parents to use and a good brand
To make sticky rice with this type of Zojirushi rice cooker, I use two cups of rice and 3 3/4 water. I use a size two cup measuring cup. I time for thirteen minutes twice. More importantly, I take the rice out of the rice cooker at the end of the second timer. Otherwise, this rice cooker continues to cook the rice on its warm feature until it is dry. For sticky rice the way your Asian girlfriend showed you, follow these measurements and timing. Also, these low priced, under $75, Zojirushi rice cookers are easy to clean. They are made up of the heating bowl, the cable that plugs into the wall socket, the non-stick cooking bowl for the rice, and the lid. I have a Zojirushi NHS-10 that looks like the one in the video. To reheat sticky rice preserving the texture, put the rice in a Stashers silicon pouch, and put it in a sauce pot of water and boil for six minutes.
Thank you so much this was so useful!!
