  Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.

    How much money and technology is required to cook fucking rice?

      I was skeptical too until I got one. I don’t know how much technology it actually uses but I will say ever since I started using it my rice has come out p. much the exact same every. single. time. It’s like magic. The consistency of the results of this thing compared to a $10 rice cooker is insane.

      It’s one of those things where once you have properly cooked rice you’ll look at anyone boiling it in a pot like you would a caveman trying to use a cellphone.

        Now y’all got me wanting to try it lmao.

        I do have an egg steamer, that I similarly thought was for the weak and infirm until I used it. I love that little fucker now. Of course it only cost like 20 bucks… Something that costs hundreds better give me a happy ending after I eat my rice.

      Those things are $300 US. It’s fucking madness.

      Comes out perfectly fluffy every time. I love my Zojirushi. There’s a reason they’re a standard wedding present in Japan. Super high quality and buy-it-for-life.

  All any rice cooker does is simmer the water till it has all evaporated. They don’t have a different setting for white or brown rice. Brown rice needs more water to cook. The picture is just a lie.

    The ones with multiple settings cook the brown rice at a lower temperature. Combined with the higher water:rice ratio, this makes for a much longer cook time for brown rice.

  You know it’s a premium rice cooker when the alarm sound is a music jingle. My microwave wishes it were that sophisticated.

  • cannedtuna@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Had to replace the microwave recently after the last one crapped out. This new one also has a jingle. Why does every machine need a jingle now? The dryer has a jingle. It’s not even that fancy.

      Specifically choose our microwave because it can be muted. No unnecessary beeping or jingle is so much better.

        Most microwaves can be silenced. I figured out how to shut mine up but several hours later my roommate unmuted it, I guess some people like the obnoxious noises.

      Are these all Japanese products? I find that the Japanese love a little jingle for some reason

      i mean, i can distinguish between the different beeps on the different machines but maybe giving different machines different jingles helps people who can’t

    You know it’s premium because it costs hundreds of dollars instead of $20…

  Zojirushi makes decent stuff - at least the couple items I have from them have been working well for the time I’ve had them.

    They make a variety of excellent table top cooking appliances. My wife is Japanese and recommended me this rice cooker when we started dating. That same rice cooker is still going strong I purchased it in 2006.

    I recently was curious about them and did a search to see if there was any newer model or upgrades… still the exact same model and almost the same price is considered one of the best models by multipel reviewers.

    That thing is seriously built to last! My wife and I have now named the cooker “Zojirushi sama” as a reward for still making amazing rice 20 years later even after almost daily use.

    We also have one of their auto nabe cookers which is going on 15 years old.

  I think they sense the temperature of the metal, so after it plateaus at boiling point it knows when all the water is absorbed because the temperature starts rising again.
