Product Information

Pressurized cooking, substantial construction, and lightning-fast delicious results make this the right cooker for the serious rice eater, especially if you love sushi rice. It’s a deceptively easy task: Measure, rinse, add water, simmer, steam, and less than a half an hour later, you’re done. In contrast to the Neuro Fuzzy’s 6-cup and 10-cup options, the Cuckoo comes in only the hefty 10-cup size. But if you want to make one-pot stews or leave your food to cook while you’re at work, you may be better off with another kind of multicooker.

Keep-warm and quick-cook settings: The option to keep your rice warm for hours is useful if the machine finishes cooking before you’re done with the rest of your meal, or if you want to keep rice warm for someone coming home later. Single-purpose rice cookers should come with instructions for cooking different rice types and usually include a measuring cup for the rice and water as well as a rice paddle. We were honestly charmed, but the glitchy and unresponsive control panel and meh performance held this one back. A good rice cooker should cook delicious, fluffy, and flavorful short- and medium-grain white rice every time.In our first initial blind rice cooker test, the Toshiba TRCS01 won us over with the quality of rice it produced in addition to its programmable features. This is seemingly a redesign of Cuckoo's CR-0655F model, with a sleek new modern control panel and design.

Though quick-cooking rice is always a temptation, we found that the best rice generally took the longest to make. Plastic handles attached to the Neuro Fuzzy’s inner pot—a feature that many rice cookers lack—make it easy to transport a still-hot pot of rice to the dining table or to dump the contents into a pan for stir-frying. And the Neuro Fuzzy was the slowest for brown rice by a landslide, taking 1 hour 38 minutes, almost twice as long as the Hamilton Beach and the Cuckoo.The difference of 10 or 20 minutes between an okay batch of rice and an amazing one isn’t too significant for people who care about great rice, especially if you start your rice at the beginning of cooking dinner or use the timer function. You should be able to use your spatula or paddle to scoop out rice without leaving residue or stubborn rice bits stuck on the bottom. According to Zojirushi, cooking rice under pressure makes the starches easier to digest and produces a more tender grain.
