Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Im looking for a new Rice Cooker and need some recommendations. Looking for a Stainless or Glass type. Anyone know of a good one? I cook lentils,rice and barley in mine. Zippy like his starchy foods. If the one I had was not aluminum I would keep it.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 If money is not a problem, the Zojirushi cookers are perfection. Mine lasted over 10 years and would probably still be working if the cats hadn't used it to play Catskitball. I have a Black and Decker now and it is going great, also with daily use, sometimes twice daily. If you only do occasional rice, a less expensive one is good. If you eat a lot of rice, as we do, it is worth going with the Zojirushi. Hope this helps, Jeanne in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I agree with Jeanne, the Zojirushi is by far the best on the market. It is easy to use and programmable. It's only limitation is that it can only cook about 5-6 cups of rice. If you need a larger capacity cooker look at the Breville. It also has insertable stackable stainles steel trays, that also allows for simultaneous steaming of vegitables. It has about twice the capacity. We have both at home and use the Zojirushi more often. The Zojirushi runs about $140.00 and the Breville was about $80.00. I don't think you can go wrong with either brand. mais en plas...

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I am not to familiar with the high end brands. What I am looking for is the inside bowl you put the rice in Need it to be glass or stainless. Most of the cookers you buy are aluminum. Have one of those right now and I need to get rid of it. Just cooking mainly for my dog so a 4 cup model is big enough. Gave away my Black and Decker for this reason had to keep the other one till I get a new one. Thanks Everyone for your opinions.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I've had both the top of the line Zojirushi and Panasonic. I destroyed my Zojirushi after about 4 years of daily use by trying to wash it (some rice got stuck on the outside bottom of the pot and burnt unto the element). The electronics stopped functioning and the repair costs were quite high, so I simply bought the Panasonic Fuzzy as a replacement. Both make excellent white rice. The Zojirushi also had programs for brown rice and congee though, and the Panasonic doesn't. I often cook quinoa or rice mixed with quinoa. I can't wait for a Fuzzy Logic rice cooker that has specific programs for cooking quinoa . . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 These are my thoughts exactly! I cook a LOT of rice--all different kinds, but very, very rarely the plain " white " rice. My son-in-law got a rice cooker while I was out visiting him and my DD last March, but I noticed that his, like all the ones I'd seen in stores and on the internet, had an aluminum (and " non-stick surfaced) inner pan. I would LOVE to use a cooker with a stainless steel cooking inner pan. Or glass inner pan. Do they make any like that anywhere??? I am just leery of cooking anything, even rice, in an aluminum pot and I've gotten rid of all the cooking pans I used to have that were aluminum. I've looked and looked at many, many different cookers, but as far as I can tell, they ALL have aluminum and usually aluminum plus non-stick surface inner cooking pans. I, too, would welcome any guides to finding a non-aluminum panned rice cooker. Thanks! --Laura B., in Illiniois Posted by: " ZippyPo " joestud469 joestud469 Tue Jun 16, 2009 12:08 pm ((PDT)) Im looking for a new Rice Cooker and need some recommendations.
