Choosing a Rice Maker
Like a lot of kitchen
appliances, nearly every major brand name
has a rice cooker in its repertoire, including
the usual suspects like Cuisinart and
KitchenAid. The king of the rice cooker
hill is probably Zojirushi, a household
name in Japan and among the most respected
rice cookers in the world. Nevertheless
the competition is fierce.
There are many rice cookers that offer
quality, extra features and low prices.
The 3-cup Salton Rice Cooker has a 12-hour
Keep Warm Mode and goes for an affordable
$20.00. The 1-6 cup Aroma Rice Cooker
& Steamer with Glass lid is a similar
value. The Black and Decker Flavor Scenter
Steamer Plus (HS900) can steam your rice,
your fish, you vegetable and more for
under $40.00. But for those who just have
to have the Cadillac of rice cooker, there’s
the Zojirushi Rice Cooker Micom Fuzzy
Logic Rice Cooker & Warmer, with its
reheating cycle, porridge setting, LCD
timer… the list goes on (and on). It’s
available in 5-cup (NS-MYC10) and 10-cup
(NS-MYC18) models.
