At Pepcom, I saw one of the new Zojirushi Rice Cookers. This new Pressure IH model offers a wide array of cooking settings including, white (regular/firm), umami, mixed, sushi, sweet, Jasmine, congee, brown, GABA brown, steel cut oatmeal, quick white and quick Jasmine. The spokesperson explained that people want appliances that can do more than just one thing, and Zojirushi has answered that call. They have one model can even let you bake a cake! The one at the show was a high end model offering a large orange LCD control panel, clock, and delay timer with 2 settings. The unit also comes with automatic keep warm, extended keep warm and reheating functions. Retail was close to $500, but this company makes more than a dozen rice cookers that start at about $140. A lot of people in chat, and Chad too, own a Zojirushi rice cooker, or other appliance and speak about their high-quality build.
