3 Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer ( White)

One of my best purchases! I throw all kinds of spices in at the start of cooking. I use 1 any size container of rice to 2 portions of water or broth from the same container, and all the types of rice have turned out great. The steamer basket on the top works great. I cook cabbage, boneless chicken breast etc at the same time as the rice is cooking. Many small bubbles escape the lid sides and a small hole, but not much, and easy to clean up. It does a great job keeping the rice warm without burning if I am busy cooking something else on the stove. This company is fantastic! I also own their griddle. Don't be fooled into buying a huge do-it-all rice cooker that you will rarely use. This 6 cup is perfect for families, easy to clean, easy to use, easy to store, and will have you saying "Amy was right!"

Simple and effective. It's a lot smaller than I expected, but it cooks the advertised amount and the size makes it very easy to store, so that's great. It only has two settings and none of the bells and whistles of the specialty rice cookers, but it does produce some decent rice. Well cooked, separated grains, and little burned spots. Not perfect, but good enough.

This is the first rice cooker I've ever bought and honestly, I don't know why I waited so long. I read reviews for some of the lower priced cookers and found that they were good, but not quite as good as the Zojirushi. I happened to get it on sale and absolutely love it! So easy to use and the rice comes out nice and fluffy. So much easier than standing by the stove and so much better quality and taste than microwavable rice. Just measure your rice, add water and turn it on. This one has an automatic shut off and stay warm feature which makes it even more convenient. It's small and easy to store. So glad I finally got one!

I received 3 cup rice cooker today, after reading through all the reviews, I was very careful and decided that I would only make two cups of rice to test it. I use regular white rice and washed it three times, drained it really well before adding it to the pot, I use the markings inside of the pot for the water. Even though I washed the rice three times, there were still bubbles coming up around the lid. Be warned: even though this says it will cook three cups of rice, my two cups, when done, was all the way to the top, there was no more room for any more. The rice came out perfect, tasted really good, cooked fast, clean up was really easy. I would probably buy it again if I wanted enough rice for just two cups, that is all you have room for with this cooker, on the box it says "up to 3 cups*......

I used to think rice was simple. Boil water, throw in grains, hope for the best. But my “best” usually looked like a sad science experiment—half mush, half gravel, all disappointment. Then the Zojirushi 3-Cup Rice Cooker waltzed into my life like a culinary fairy godmother. ⸻ The First Encounter Unboxing it felt ceremonial. Small, sleek, and oddly adorable—like if R2-D2 retired and decided to open a Japanese bistro. It doesn’t scream “appliance”; it whispers, “Trust me, I know rice.” The buttons are labeled with polite confidence: White Rice, Brown Rice, Keep Warm. None of that intimidating “Turbo Ultra Steam” nonsense. Just clean, simple functionality. ⸻ The First Batch I measured the rice (using the special little cup it comes with—because apparently every other cup in my house is “wrong”), rinsed it like a responsible adult, and hit start. Then… silence. Unlike my old bargain cooker, which sounded like it was powering a small aircraft, the Zojirushi hummed quietly—like a monk meditating. The anticipation was real. When it beeped (with the most cheerful little tune, like a rice lullaby), I lifted the lid and saw it: fluffy, perfect, restaurant-quality rice. Not mush, not crunchy, but each grain distinct, glistening like tiny pearls of joy. I teared up. Not ashamed. ⸻ The Keep-Warm Sorcery Here’s the kicker: hours later, the rice was still perfect. Warm, fluffy, like it had just been cooked. How? Witchcraft. Or maybe advanced Japanese engineering. Either way, it’s basically Tupperware with a soul. I left rice overnight once (as a test, not because I was lazy… okay, because I was lazy). Next morning? Still edible. I half expect to wake up one day to find it’s learned how to pay rent too. ⸻ The Emotional Journey Using this rice cooker is not just cooking—it’s self-care. The process is so foolproof, I actually look forward to making rice now. My friends laugh when I gush about it, but then they eat the rice and suddenly they’re believers too. I even caught myself talking to it once: “Good job, buddy.” That’s how deep this relationship has gone. ⸻ Downsides Let’s be honest: it’s not cheap. You could buy a random $20 rice cooker at a big box store. But here’s the thing—those are “rice cookers” the same way a tricycle is “transportation.” They’ll technically get you there, but you’ll look sad and fall over a lot. Also, the 3-cup size is small. Perfect for one or two people, but if you’re feeding a family of six or hosting a sushi-themed block party, you’ll need a bigger one. And yes, cleaning requires actual effort. The nonstick pot is easy, but if you’re a savage who burns rice somehow, that inner lid will judge you. ⸻ The Extras Oh, and it’s not just rice. Quinoa? Nailed it. Steel-cut oats? Perfect. Lentils? Chef’s kiss. Basically, if it’s a grain, Zojirushi looks at it, smirks, and says, “Amateur hour is over.” I once made rice pudding in it. Came out so good I briefly considered opening a dessert shop. I didn’t (because laziness), but the dream was alive. ⸻ The Cult of Zojirushi Here’s the thing: once you own one, you join a secret society. Other Zojirushi owners spot you in the wild, nod knowingly, and whisper, “Ah, you too know the truth.” There’s no going back. Regular stovetop rice? Barbaric. Instant pot rice? A pale imitation. The Zojirushi cult demands loyalty, and you’ll give it gladly. ⸻ The Sounds That little jingle it plays when the rice is done? Pure serotonin. I’ve considered recording it as my alarm clock. Nothing says “rise and shine” like the cheerful rice cooker song. It’s like being congratulated by a tiny robot every time you succeed at adulting. ⸻ Comparisons Without Zojirushi: you’re scraping burnt rice off a pan, wondering where you went wrong in life. With Zojirushi: you’re scooping fluffy clouds of joy, humming along to its tune, and contemplating buying bulk jasmine rice like a prepper. Without Zojirushi: rice is a side dish. With Zojirushi: rice is a lifestyle. ⸻ Final Verdict The Zojirushi 3-Cup Rice Cooker is not just an appliance. It’s a benevolent kitchen overlord. It doesn’t just make rice—it makes perfect rice, every time, without fail. Is it small? Yes. Is it pricey? Sure. Is it worth it? Absolutely. It’s not just an investment in rice—it’s an investment in happiness. ⸻ Final Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars) • Rice quality: Divine • Ease of use: Foolproof • Keep warm: Witchcraft • Emotional bond: Stronger than some family ties • Downside: You’ll judge all other rice forever

Basic rice cooker but good. If you don’t need or use the other functions that many other rice cookers have (steamer, slow cooker etc) then this rice cooker is the one for you! Easy to use (one button), easy to clean and well made. Gets the job done well without all the bells and whistles which I don’t need… Totally satisfied!

In need of small rice cooker, look no further. One of Japan's most durable brand, the cooker is made well. You can use any rice, and follow the instructions. Makes rice quickly, no smells, or sticky substances- easy to clean and maintain. Good power and automatic switch off. I even mix rice with other vegetables/sauces for a nice homestyle biryani. Perfect for a house of 2 people. Appreciate the quality of the product too. Must buy especially if this is your first cooker. Size up for a larger family.

It is a great little basic rice cooker. Just what I was looking for. I only cook a small portion of rice at one time and this works great. No fancy controls. No keep warm feature, just a solid little rice cooker that does its job perfectly. Makes just enough for two people, or like me one and I can put the leftovers in the fridge. I love it.

Muito bom …

Came with a defect, the plastic feet support melted on first use, don't know where/how to return.

Panela compacta e fácil de limpar. O arroz ficou muito gostoso. Apesar de ser um compra internacional, o produto chegou muito rápido, levou aproximadamente uma semana.

Panela com um tamanho ideal para a família. Ótima! Cumpre o que promete.

Zojirushi es de las mejores marcas, compre esta arrocera hace 2 años y sigue funcionando super bien
