General advice. The little cup that comes with it. The little rice paddle that comes with it, And the little thing that attaches to the rice Baker where you put the rice paddle in.

Don't lose them they're gold. You want a little paddle right beside the rice maker when you go open it and get rice. You wanna use the little 8.1 oz cup it comes with Instead of measuring 8 oz out in a measuring cup. The little plastic cup is light and easy to move around and clean. The lines in the inner bowl correspond to the amount of rice in the cup that comes with it.

When you wash the bowl don't use soap. Don't use a scrubby. Just wash it well with your Hand with water. And change out the water a few times as you do this. I can get mine spotless clean doing that most of the time. This will keep the bowl from ever being scratched or scuffed, And it will last really long time. If you don't you have to buy a new bowl. They are expensive. If you can't get the bowl clean with water and your hand Then use a couple drops of Dish soap And at most the soft side of the sponge (or just your hand). That's how I touch mine up. There's no real health concern Not using soap To remove the Rice residue. Many Asians have done this For a long time. I'm guessing most Asians now just use soap. But then the bowl covered with a thin layer soap that Leaches is into the rice next time. Its just not necessary.

When you put in the dry rice you want to rinse the rice excessively like 5 times till its pretty clear. You are rinsing out the starch. This is pretty much required unless you want weird rice.

When You're done eating rice and ready to clean It's easiest just to hit the cancel button and walk away. Then Any time after 15 minutes walk back To clean it. It's now cool and not hot as h***. You'll spare your hands and you will spare the bowl from temperature shock From putting cold water in to a hot bowl. Which I assume screws up the bowl moderately quickly.

In my opinion it's best never to make anything except Simple rice, Not other ingredients That might mess with the bowl.

A noob might put vinegar with the rice to try to make sushi. That's not how you do it. And the vinegar will hurt the bowl.

Google Thai sticky rice with mango. It's very fattening but completely delicious. You can use this rice maker to make the rice for that recipe. You use the glutonous sweet rice. Any recipe you look at will tell you Which rice I mean.

I use bulk micro cloths from Costco for a lot of things. When I touch up my rice maker I liked it cut off A 4 by 4" piece of Microcloth, with heafty shears And use it to touch up my rice maker when it's not clean enough by hand.

Take any or all of these ideas to improve your experience and convenience.

Botsmati rice (indian) Is significantly healthier than the other common rices for those of you who want to know.

This version has the Micro Computerized fuzzy logic, not the Neuro Fuzzy.

Scrolling down to Product Info, it says County of Origin: China, so I'm guessing this isn't manufactured in Japan

It's a feature in the rice cooker that adapts certain variables that may other wise ruin the rice. Example: if water ratio is 1 cup to 1 cup rice, and you add too much water…it will know and attempt to fix this by adjusting the temp and cook time. It's not a miracle worker but can "correct" minor human errors.

This has the fuzzy logic feature according to the Amazon description…which from my understanding, the Neuro Fuzzy is the newer form of fuzzy logic. However, not quite sure what the "advancement" is over the normal fuzzy logic

Been eyeing one of these for years. Pulled the trigger and got $20 off by using 1 ultimate rewards point.

These are well worth it. Love my zojirushi. Kind of wish they made a smaller version with all the fancy features if I were to search for a complaint.

Fwiw I bought this two years ago in a slickdeal. This is one of my favorite appliances. Steel cut oats prepped in the morning, im a pavlovian dog when the twinkle twinkle little star jingle plays. Two thumbs up!

Interesting about made in China. In the product comparison, the made in China box isn't checked. I'll have to examine the box when it arrives and may send it back.

I've had this for about two years and it seems like it can correct minor mistakes fine. I mainly use it for brown rice though.

And yes, this version is made in China, not Japan. But I gotta say, not having a expensive rice cooker before and it seems like a very well built machine.

The quality of rice that comes out of these is amazing. It's keep warm feature is perfect also. It's a good thing to have if you want perfect rice every single time. If you have to think about if you want this over an instant pot, you probably don't need one.

Does this make 3 cups of cooked rice or can you make up to 3 cups of measured raw rice?
