When it comes to quality rice cookers, there’s one name that always sticks out above the rest—Zojirushi.
As the name suggests, the Zojirushi NS-LGCC05XB Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer is manufactured and aimed at smaller families and general, everyday use. With a 3-cup uncooked rice capacity, it’s perfect for single meals or couples and features a smart, modern look with the usual great attention to detail and build quality that Zojirushi has become famous for.
The Detail
A quick glance at the Amazon reviews for this product reveals that people like this cooker as it enables them to cook the right amount of rice in an easy way. It features a smart, easy-to-clean steel housing and has the distinctive sleek outer appearance that fits in with any contemporary kitchen. It also saves the countertop space with its optimum size of 11 ½ by 9 by 7 ¼ inches, as well as its built-in retractable electrical cord, which is perfect for those who have small-sized kitchens.
Zojirushi NS-LGCC05XB Micom 3-cup Rice Cooker Review
NS-LGCC05XB Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer has a large, easy-to-read digital display and a reasonably clear menu system that offers a variety of one-touch cooking functions such as white, sushi, porridge, brown, and quick cooking. Again, looking at Amazon reviews reveals that users have indicated that it works well with different kinds of rice – something that I can back up from experience.
Like many models in the Zojirushi family, this one is equipped with Micro-computerized Fuzzy Logic Technology, which enables even heat distribution and unparalleled control of the temperature during the rice cooking process. It also features a unique triple-heater system, which provides all-round heat by heating the bottom, side and lid. This results in a more even cook and, generally speaking, better results than other types of rice cookers.
Timer Function?
Most reviewers seem to agree with me that the Keep Warm and Timer functions are particularly useful, helping you to get good results and, of course, these also mean you can be flexible when you cook prepare and cook your meals. For example cooking oatmeal the night before and then waking up to a fresh, hot bowl of porridge the next morning – yum! The Timer will start the rice cooking process automatically, while the Keep Warm feature will maintain the ideal temperature of the rice and preserve its freshness until it is ready to be served.
Whats Included?
As I mentioned previously, the Zojirushi NS-LGCC05XB has an extra-large colored LCD display for easy setting selections and, of course, the famous Zojirushi song when the cooking process is complete. It also comes with a nonstick inner cooking pan and detachable inner lid that simplifies the cleaning processes. A one-year limited warranty and a wide range of rice cooking accessories are given away with the purchase of this rice cooker.
Conclusion
Suitable for couples and small families this model features an enviable array of optins and technology, thanks to its MICOM logic. This truly is a modern, compact and handy rice cooker that’s suitable for the small to medium size family at a very reasonable price.
- Compact: With its compact size and ability to cook as little as 1/2 a cup of rice or oats, this rice cooker is ideal for small families or couples
- Steel Cut Oatmeal Menu Setting: This is a special menu setting for cooking steel-cut oatmeal. The cooking flow is different than the regular Porridge setting and has a shorter completion time
- Brown or GABA Brown Menu Setting: The Brown Rice Activation (or GABA Brown Setting) activates brown rice by keeping the temperature inside the pan at about 104 degrees F for 2 hours. By activating brown rice, GABA, one of the nutrients contained in brown rice, increases its amount by 1.5 times as much as that contained in non-activated brown rice
- Long Grain White Menu Setting: This is a special menu setting for cooking long-grain white rice. The cooking flow is different than the White rice setting because long-grain white rice cooks differently than short or medium-grain white rice
- Easy to Transport and Hassle Free Storing: It can be transported easily with the help of a fold-down handle. The built-in retractable power cord makes moving and storing hassle-free
