I used a $10 rival for 40 years up to a year ago. Bought the Cucko 6 cup from Walmart and realized how good properly prepared rice can be. Oh, my old pot is available for $5.....
What's wrong with this, just because made in China?
Even on Chinese forums, people are talking about choosing the Japan-made models instead. The brand itself is excellent, but China's quality control still isn't on par with Japan's.
After many years of using Zojirushi cookers ourselves (Japanese fuzzy logic and induction models), we bought our son one of these a few years ago, makes great rice.
So would you get a Cuckoo over Zojirushi yourself?
I have both a Cuckoo and Zojirushi and they both make perfect rice. I had another Zojirushi that died on me which is why I bought the Cuckoo so I'm suspicous of their quality control on newer models.
Whenever I cook rice, I've been boiling rice in a pot with excess water and draining the water containing the starch. This results in non-sticky rice as well as less carbs.
Is there a rice cooker that achieves the same by steaming and collecting/separating the starch?

Costco has the Tiger 5.5 cup micom rice cooker for $79 (made in Japan). I've only owned Zojirushi cookers made in Japan, not sure if there's a significant difference compared to the ones made in China.
Would you buy the Tiger made in Japan over the the Zojirushi cooker made in China?

I bet it still makes rice better than anything else in this price range though
