Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer & Warmer

Great product at a great price
I’ve been using this model for just over two years now with no problems at all. We routinely cook brown rice and have had none of the problems that others have called out. The one thing you must remember though is that you MUST rinse the rice (white or brown) before cooking it. We put it in a screened collander and run cold water through it for about one minute. Shake the excess water and you’re ready to go. The reason for the rinse is to keep the rice from foaming while it cooks. Evidently, the rice packers dust the rice with a talcum-like substance to keep it dry. This will cause the water to foam when it boils if you don’t rinse it off before you cook the rice.

Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer & Warmer Reviews
This is an excellent rice cooker but I would like to point out something very important. The directions say specifically that you must wash the rice in a strainer until the water that runs through them comes out clear. This is very important. If you are having problems with the rice bubbling up over the top of the rice cooker and getting on the counter, you probably aren’t washing the rice or aren’t washing it well enough. Also if you are having problems with a crust on the bottom of the rice, you probably aren’t washing the rice or aren’t washing it well enough. Start washing your rice and you probably won’t see those two problems again. Also the rice comes out much fluffier and less gummy if you wash it.
The reason for this is that, when you get uncooked rice, there is a large amount of excess starch that is stuck to the outside of the rice that gets stuck there when the rice is processes.
