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

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.

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.

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.
