I needed a new rice cooker and decided on Zojirushi cooker. I had to read the instructions before using since there is a lot of settings. I love my new rice cooker. It can cook large amounts of rice or single servings of rice and both comes out cooked perfectly. This is a game changer for my family and it has settings for every different type of rice. I’m from the south so rice is a staple in most of our meals.
