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

You don't have to lug out a big instant pot and make too much rice just to use it. This one cooks rice using a computer gor better results. It then keeps the rise at temperature for 2 days. 3 days, But day 3 will be very mushy.
It's nice getting a little bowl of rice In the afternoon, Then again in the evening, Then again the next day, Without toil.
Instant Pot's rice mode is pressure cooking and if you use it you should buy the nonstick ceramic pot insert for decent results.
Zojirushi is steam cooking with sensors for water temp to weight (fuzzy logic) for EXCELLENT results. If you rinse your rice the Zojirushi will ensure the kernels don't mush together like the Instant Pot tends to do.
That 1 has the inductive heating feature. That means the whole bowl is at the even heat instead of just heat at the bottom. It's also made in Japan. Edit: It's made in chinaThe one you have is the Cadillac of Rice makers. Zojirushi only has one model that's better I believe. That one adds a pressure cooker element. I have it. Great rice. It's kind of a pain i* t** a** because I worry it its seal will break down, or just break. It's also harder to clean which patially defeats The convenience in having one of these rice makers in the 1st place. It's also 500 bucks. So I don't really like worrying if it's gonna break With its more complex parts. I got it for 220 Because I rock. But no matter I still worry it will break. I don't like to worry. Most of the time I use the same one you have. 3 cup IH.
Keep it. Even if you're pretty broke it's not worth the time returning and getting this one.
The non-stick finish inside the bowl appears to be dense and very durable. I've never had anything stick.
The difference between rice cooked in an instant pot and rice in this Zojirushi is that the instant pot will cook your rice until it's done and maybe more than done or maybe not quite done. The Zojirushii monitors the amount of liquid and will keep cooking until the rice is perfect. No extra moisture and not dry. Quite foolproof.
Even regular Uncle Ben's converted rice has a fantastic aroma with this. I cooked rice in a pot on the stove for decades and never knew Uncle Ben's could be this good. Once you get one you'll want to try lots of other rice types.
It's easy to clean. You can reach all of the inside surfaces easily with a dishcloth or paper towel.
I love mine and the smaller size is perfect for one to three people. The three cups of uncooked rice will make about 6 cups of cooked rice. You don't have to cook three cups of uncooked rice. You can make only one cup of uncooked rice if that's all you want to make.
I love this thing and if it were to break I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

It has a non stick bowl. And you need to take care of it. Americans are tards and like to use forks once Because they're special. They arent. (Im american)

Good observation. One of the reason to get this is that it's made in Japan.
