Made in China, not South Korea, if it matters to you
My Japan-made zoji still has the nonstick surface fully intact 20 yrs later. I would not get a cooker that makes you eat that coating off over time. Dang.

Is there an option for one without the coating?
This price is cuckoo!

you don't realize how nice a detachable power cord is. I have a zojirushi that has a retracable cord that is amazing, then I got a model above that the induciton heating one and the cord is just normally attached. annoys me so much.

I love my Zojirushi! I make steel-cut oats often and was lucky to find a deal (years ago) on the model that has the option to make it. I occasionally wipe the rubber O-ring on the top with oil to keep it in a good condition. I make mostly steel-cut oats and basmati rice in it I've even left it on warm for over 24 hours straight.

I'm tempted to get this one too for the price to see if it can hold up so I can keep it at the office.

Will this make me go crazy for rice? 🍚

Tiger rice cookers are highly recommended. Made in Japan.

My mom (our family) had a Tiger cooker that she used/abused daily for about 14yrs and never failed. The inner pot was also some type of alloy that doesn't scratch up nor flake off, but also somehow non-stick.

I have a Rosewill (Newegg brand) that still works as we use for steaming more than cooking rice, but the pot is starting to flake/chip after 4yrs Frown

"Yes, you can buy a replacement inner pot from Cuckoo, instead of just throwing it away once the nonstick wears off."

Just for this alone, it is worth it. Don't believe me? Try looking to buy a replacement pot from Tiger or Zjirushi and see how much they charge for a pot. I would get one if I had not already bought a CUCKOO CR-0632F model from Amazon during last BF. Based on price alone, I think my model is superior to this?

I bought one from a previous deal, the downside is that you can only cook 2 1/2 cups of brown rice.

OP here.
Replacement inner pot is available on the Cuckoo America website for $30.
https://cuckooamerica.com/product...r-cr-0605f

This is a big deal for me. Usually you just have to throw the whole cooker away if you don't want to eat Teflon flakes after a few years. The few brands that stock replacement pots usually charge $200+ for the cooker and $50+ for a new pot.

The only "Micom" (computer controlled) rice cookers I've found with a stainless pot are from Buffalo, and they start at $150.

There are a bunch of mechanical cookers with stainless pots, most commonly from Aroma. (By "mechanical" I mean the ones with the lever you push down and that pops up when rice is done.) But they don't make rice as fluffy as the Micoms.

You can also get a small Instant Pot and use it as a rice cooker, but in my experience, it's hard to get the times and water ratios correct. Dedicated rice cookers always seem to work better and more consistently for me. If you've got a technique that always works, please share it!
