Color: Stainless Black


Size: 3-Cups (uncooked),


Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer


Features

  • Compact: With its compact size and ability to cook as little as 1/2 a cup of rice or oats, this rice cooker is ideal for small families or couples
  • Steel Cut Oatmeal Menu Setting: This is a special menu setting for cooking steel-cut oatmeal. The cooking flow is different than the regular Porridge setting and has a shorter completion time
  • Brown or GABA Brown Menu Setting: The Brown Rice Activation (or GABA Brown Setting) activates brown rice by keeping the temperature inside the pan at about 104 degrees F for 2 hours. By activating brown rice, GABA, one of the nutrients contained in brown rice, increases its amount by 1.5 times as much as that contained in non-activated brown rice
  • Long Grain White Menu Setting: This is a special menu setting for cooking long-grain white rice. The cooking flow is different than the White rice setting because long-grain white rice cooks differently than short or medium-grain white rice
  • Easy to Transport and Hassle Free Storing: It can be transported easily with the help of a fold-down handle. The built-in retractable power cord makes moving and storing hassle-free

  • Love This Versatile Machine
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
Love this kitchen tool. Cooks different Rices and cereals perfectly. Very easy to clean. I saw this being used at someone else's home and was impressed. I ordered mine the next day. It quickly became the most used tool in the kitchen. The air fryer is now second. A good cook book is needed. Wild rice is not a setting but cooks it well if you experiment a little. I purchased 3 different gourmet Rices for personal experimenting and gifts for others. No one liked them making them a bad purchase. I have used this cooker on all three, and more I have found available, they are wonderful! Easily replacing white rice as my favorite varieties. I also have been experimenting with cracked and whole grains as cereal. Best ever! Very versatile machine. I thought it was overpriced but have since recalculated and find it a great value for the money. The provided manual is relatively easy to follow and has a couple recipes but lacking any advanced use coverage. ... show more

  • Zojirushi have the best rice cookers, love this small one too!
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
These are the best rice cookers! Nt cheap, but long lasting and well worth the money. I wanted to replace my Zojirushi 10 cup with a much smaller one. Wasn't sure this one would be as good as my 10 cup (10 year old) one but it works just as well. This one is perfect for my needs now. Small footprint, cooks perfect rice everytime. Love it. ... show more

  • amazing!!
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
We were using a janky little walmart rice cooker for 5 years before my husband asked for 'a real one'. While i had a decent general idea of what I was looking for, we watch a good bit of ian fujimoto's videos and it's one he recommends. Reading the reviews sold us on it more than he did, but it was great having an idea of a brand to look for from him. It's relatively compact for what it is. Holds plenty of rice for our needs. Stainless steel in color which will work with most kitchen themes. Didn't notice any kind of odor with it. Feels built to last, this thing is beefy. Has a retractable cord which I love. The manual is extensive and not in a bad way, just really helpful. Comes with a measuring cup for the rice and the rice basin has markings on it for how much water based on what amount/kind of rice you're making so it makes it super easy. It sings a happy little song when it starts and finishes which is oddly entertaining. Will keep rice warm for HOURS. I'm not sure the cut off for it but my husband didn't realize it did that and I noticed at the 52 hour mark before shutting it off. And the rice was still perfectly cooked at that point, didn't look or taste gross, tasted freshly made. Has a nice carry handle and an internal battery to keep it warm but we haven't utilized that function to know how well or long it works. ... show more

  • Love it

I love it. Super easy to use and sings when you start it and when done cooking. Sleek and easy to clean with an added bonus of the time being displayed even when not plugged in. Lightweight and compact to fit anywhere with the added bonus of perfectly cooked rice each time.

  • Amazing Cooker With Just A Few Flaws
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
Pros: Small Portable Retractable Cord Lightweight Multi-Menu Easy to Operate Cons: Not Cheap Internal Battery What I received in the package: 1 x ZOJIRUSHI NS-LGC05XB Micom Rice Cooker 1 x Internal 3 Cup Cooking Bowl 1 x Plastic Spatula 1 x Plastic Spatula Holder Accessory 1 x Plastic Measuring Cup 1 x User Manual This ZOJIRUSHI NS-LGC05XB Micom Rice Cooker product is an easy to use small rice cooker / warmer is approximately 9 1/8” x 11 7/8” x 7 1/2” and weighs in at roughly 5lbs 13.7oz. Interface is straightforward. You simply depress the [Menu] Button until you reach the type of rice you are cooking and then select [Start]. There are other functions but that is the very basics. It will play a little tune before it gets started the timer will count down until it is ready. This is a small rice cooker for the price but it does seem to cook a perfect pot of rice each time. There are a few features that I think are outstanding with this cooker. First, the 44” power cord is fully retractable. Making cleanup and storage easy. You should be careful not to pull the cord out passed the red sticker or it may not reel back in. Second, the cooker produces very little condensation that you have to clean up. It was easy to wipe down and store. All residual condensation drains directly into the pot, so not extra parts to clean. Third, the cooker is compact and relatively lightweight. The pot has a 3 cup capacity which is small for the price, but quite sufficient. I’ll be honest here, I have never paid this much for a rice cooker. I have gone through phases of using a cooker and then making rice manually in a pot. I decided recently to breakdown and get another cooker. I did a lot of research on models and brands and this one came out on top. This Micom model uses “fuzzy logic” to makes micro changes to your cooking time, etc depending in various variables to ensure your rice is cooked to perfection each time. I am Hawaiian and we are heavy rice eaters. Rice has been a staple on our table since I can remember. I cook rice practically daily depending on my needs. I have yet to be disappointed with this cooker. You just start it and leave it … much like any other rice cooker. The difference is the rice is perfect. It does have a delayed cooking feature if you want to prep it and cook it later. To do this you select the cooking program from the menu and then you select the time you want the rice to be completely cooked and ready. The Micom will process the information and determine when it needs to start to complete it at that time. Nice !!! I have tried cooking the following rice types: White Brown Basmati Jasmine Saffron While the unit does not have a specific Basmati, Saffron or Jasmine rice preset. I found that using the Long Grain or White setting with the proper rice to water ratio works just fine. Now to the only feature I don’t care for. This cooker has an internal clock which runs off of a clock battery that is integrated into the circuit board. The only instructions are when the battery goes out to contact the manufacturer for a replacement, which is not free. I am pretty handy and figure that when the time comes I will add a battery slot so you can replace the battery in the future without having to solder again. But that is a consideration you do have to mull over if you are looking at this model. As to replace this battery it “will” be something that the manufacturer will have to do if you don’t want to void your warranty or damage the unit if you are not skilled in soldering. Granted, these batteries typically last roughly 5 years so it should easily outlast your 1-Year Warranty. I feel this a money grab for a unit that is already quite expensive. I considered dropping it a star for making it a requirement to have to have the replaced by the manufacturer. The reason I didn’t is that it will still operate if you plug it in … it just will not retain the clock time and you will have to rest the time each time you plug it in. IF you unplug it. I can live with that. I am also not a huge fan of non-stick surfaces. However, that is common among all rice cooker brands. The unit also has a part, the power cord, that contain BPA. While it is not in direct contact with any cooking surface or food. The possibility does exist that you could cross-contaminate the cooking pot or food by plugging in the cord and not washing your hands before you begin to prepare the rice. Keep that in mind … The manufacturer offers a 1-Year Warranty from the original purchase date on this product. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, I have had a number of rice cookers in my lifetime … I wish I had known about this brand years ago. Please don’t let the price tag fool you. It is worth every Penney so far and will pay for itself inside a year with the amount of rice my family consumes as well as the time savings. While this is an excellent unit … there is still room for improvement here that would make it a true 5-Star appliance. It is so close to being 5-Star to me and is probably the best cooker I have ever owned. However, for those who don’t prefer Non-stick, the ability to purchase a ceramic pot would be a great option. Removing all BPAs from the product would be another and the ability to change out the battery is something that should be to be done without having to send in the unit. As the world continues to trend toward more healthy and sustainable choices … I hope this is something this manufacturer takes to heart. It must also be noted that all brands I have owned or researched suffer from the same flaws. Hope this information was helpful. [5 Stars] This product is made in China. ... show more

  • Oatmeal waiting for me every morning when I get up to start my day...
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
We have owned one of these for 15 years or so and rarely have we had a problem with it...except for user error (more later). I like to eat oatmeal in the morning and I find it wonderfully convenient to be able to set it up before I go to bed at night. The oatmeal is ready at exactly when I have set for it to be ready and off I go. If for some reason I don't get to it right away, it will keep the oatmeal hot for as long as I need it to. In fact, I have let the oatmeal sit in it for over 24 hours and it has still been just fine. While I only use it for oatmeal, it has settings for rice (of course), brown rice, and two other settings. Conveniently, once I set the timer for when I want it, it remembers it every day and all I have to do is push the timer button, the mode button 5 times to cycle through the settings, and then press cook. Simple, efficient, and quick. So here's a tip: the only time I've ever had problems with it involved fluids boiling out the top and making a mess all over the machine and the counter top. For the longest time I couldn't figure out what caused this problem, but finally it dawned on me that this phenomenon only showed itself when I didn't add enough water to the steel cut oatmeal. The water would boil and steam and go everywhere! So problem solved...make sure to put enough water in it to cook the oatmeal but still have enough for the oatmeal to essentially pour out in the morning. As I mentioned earlier, user error. My only complaint is that the machine arrives with a weird melody that plays after successfully programing the timer to have my food ready at 6:00 am. There are instructions for changing that to a simple beep and it is a minor inconvenience to change it...but still...who needs a weird melody that goes on way too long to let me know I'm done with setting up the cooker. On the up side, once the melody is changed to a beep, it sticks and it's over. We liked it so much that when we bought a second home, one of the first things we did was buy a second one to go there too! Highly recommended. ... show more

  • The rice cooker par excellence
Color: Stainless Black Size: 3-Cups (uncooked), Pattern Name: Rice Cooker & Warmer
I eat rice almost every day so I felt justified at investing in a proper rice cooker and didn’t want to wait any longer for the DOGE check. My previous rice cooker was very inexpensive and it cooked rice fairly fast but the rice was not good. I can cook on the stove top but that too was hit and miss. But now the Zojirushi is a proper rice cooker that never fails to produce delicious perfect fluffy rice. I rinse the rice as directed and then set it and walk away. I do set the timer on my watch so I can fluff it in a timely manner. The instructions are clear. This model is perfect for a small family and the timers play a cheery tune! You won’t regret taking the leap of faith. ... show more
