Review: Worth the investment. - Growing up my mother had always had a Zojirushi rice cooker, and I had coveted them for many years before deciding finally to purchase my own. Prior to this, I used a cheap Aroma model which was adequate at best and unreliable / ruined rice at worst. When travel to Japan was shut down and my cheaper rice cooker became less and less reliable, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the 10-cup model (while our family is just three people, we do tend to host large gatherings for family and guests and I wanted the ability to heat/keep rice warm for a crowd and for long periods of time). The price tag on this model is admittedly steep - it is currently the top-of-the-line Zojirushi model available in the US (the highest-end ones on the Japanese market can reach upwards of $1000). Even my husband who is something of a rice connoisseur was skeptical. We initially did two tests with rice we use regularly - Koda Farms Kohuko Rose (our 'daily' rice) and Nanatsuboshi rice from Hokkaido (a premium rice). Both came out absolutely perfect - and after many hours on warm were still delicious and not dried out. The difference between this cooker and my cheap one is significant - even our regular 'daily' rice tasted nearly as good as the premium stuff: sweeter, fluffier, and fragrant. It does take longer than my old rice cooker, but since the quality isn't affected by remaining on warm, I tend to prep in advance. We tried other settings - jasmine (for long grain or basmati rice), brown rice, and had the same excellent results each time. The functions and timer are all intuitive and easy to use - you can set ahead the night before and have perfect rice in the morning for tamago gohan or rice with natto. While I was hesitant to spend the money for this machine I am truly glad I did, it is absolutely worth it for our family's needs.
Review: The GOAT of Rice Cookers - The GOAT of rice cookers. Makes every kind of rice to perfection, you don’t even have to think about it. Cook time is an hour. I can make rice for my family of 4 or enough for a dinner party, the size is great. I can start the rice cooker, leave home and be gone the whole day, and the rice will be ready, waiting for me still warm (stays warm for 10 hours!) The start and end melodies are cute, but you have the option to turn them off and use a ‘beep’ noise. Worth every dollar.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: unit whistles, and steam comes from under the lid, is this a malfunction?**
A: Presuming you clean the lid assembly each time, and keep the steam vent clean; you should be golden.  Sounds like blockage...  The bubbling, boiling rice AND it's starchy steam include more fine, gummy rice stuff than some of us might be aware.  Cleaning the lid assembly often or every time ensures your Zoji measures and adjusts correctly so the rice is best quality.

If cleaning doesn't help call or write Zojirushi and if that doesn't work you might need to replace the entire unit.  Mine typically last a lifetime except for an RV fire or needing the better new innovation when they upgrade.

**Q: At the time of this question, the 10 cup nwc-18 is $50 cheaper than the nwc-10. is there a reason not to get the bigger one for the cheaper price?**
A: I can’t think of any reason not to get the larger unit at a lower price.  Just a couple of things to consider though.  For a small family generally 2 to 3 cups of rice a day is fine.  So the smaller unit being easier to prepare the rice for cooking or cleaning the unit.  Also it would occupy less countertop space.

**Q: What is the wattage of this rice cooker.**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. The NP-NWC18 10-cup capacity rice cooker will have an Electric Consumption of approximately 1370 W. During the Keep Warm, the average power consumption is 36 W.
