Review: Get it! - After doing a lot of comparing between Tiger and Zojirushi for a new rice cooker, I ended up deciding on this 3-cup rice cooker. It is the perfect size when cooking for just 1 or 2 people. I liked the features of the rice cooker - the different cooking modes...although I haven't used any other than white rice and quick...but I like having the options. The pot is non-stick and we'll made, so it is easy to clean and keep clean. I also like that it came with a rice paddle (shamoji) and measuring cup (Japanese rice measuring cups are smaller than 1 cup in the US. I am used to measuring the water to rice ratio 1:1 for white rice (with my old rice cooker), and I tried using the inner markings on the inside of the pot...but I felt it was a little mushy for my taste...so I went back to measuring the water I put into the pot. It is seriously easy to use and easy to disassemble to wash. For some reason...I really want to try the cake recipe...making cake in a rice cooker is intriguing to me. Pros: easy to use, easy to clean, good cooking modes, cooks my japanese short grain rice just the way I like it, great price, good size for 1 or 2 people Cons: none (except maybe measure your water instead of using the lines on the inside of the pot) (not a deal-breaker for me) Next recipe: kamameshi! Review: Great cooker... love timer and keep warm features - I've been using this cooker for several weeks. Fantastic cooker for rice, oatmeal and quinoa. In fact the quinoa turns out truly amazing. I bought this before I truly knew all my rice-cooking options, so am a bit jealous of Induction Heating... but not sure there is a huge difference beyond shaving a few minutes off the cooking time and a 75% increase in unit cost. It would be interesting to understand differences in electrical costs over the course of a year. I'm still experimenting with water quantity. My short-grained white rice from California ends up with a sticky sushi-like consistency following the cooking bowl water-mark, whereas my Basmati rice ends up more light and fluffy. My Oatmeal (which I use the timer to have ready for me each morning) is a bit thicker consistency using bowl water-mark... I may try making with a bit more water. The quinoa is light and airy. If my family members have a staggered arrival home from daily activities and we cannot eat dinner together it is pretty cool that food in the cooker warmer will keep food like-freshly-cooked for hours. It does not get dried out or burnt. I hand clean the unit after each use because I don't want the pieces to degrade, but very easy to clean, just a couple of minutes. For the price, I think it is a good value. ## Features - Compact 3-cup capacity , Electrical Rating -120 volts - Triple heater with Extra large heating element heats and warms rice from the bottom, side and top - Removable steam vent cap allows for high temperature cooking without messy overflows - Automatic keep Warm keeps rice at the perfect serving temperature; extended keep Warm keeps rice Warm Longer by maintaining a lower temperature to prevent drying - Black 2.5mm Thick inner cooking pan distributes heat evenly, and is nonstick Coated for easy cleaning - BPA-free (all surfaces that come into contact with food or Beverage) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0711FMN8M | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,165 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #69 in Rice Cookers | | Brand | Zojirushi | | Brand Name | Zojirushi | | Capacity | 0.75 Quarts | | Color | Silver Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,977 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04974305711915 | | Included Components | rice cooker^spatula^measuring cup | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 12.88"D x 9.38"W x 7.88"H | | Item Type Name | Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer | | Item Weight | 6 Pounds | | Lid Material | Silver | | Manufacturer | Zojirushi | | Material | Non-stick coated aluminum | | Model Name | Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer | | Model Number | NL-BAC05SB | | Other Special Features of the Product | Automatic Cooking | | Part Number | NL-BAC05SB | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Care Instructions | Wipe with Damp Cloth | | Product Dimensions | 12.88"D x 9.38"W x 7.88"H | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Wattage | 120 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zojirushi - **Capacity:** 0.75 Quarts - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Care Instructions:** Wipe with Damp Cloth - **Product Dimensions:** 12.88"D x 9.38"W x 7.88"H ## Images ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer NL-BAC05 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nA7SJS9CL.jpg) ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer NL-BAC05 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uiarixcNL.jpg) ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer NL-BAC05 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ULh-bWVaL.jpg) ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer NL-BAC05 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CsrUg48iL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where made in?** A: China... where the largest consumption of and where they demand the best in rice cookery.
