Product Description
Zojirushi's Induction Heating System Rice Cooker and Warmer is innovation is action. The heating method known as induction heating occurs when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field. In our case, coils within the bottom of the rice cooker create the magnetic field. When the inner rice cooker and the unit is activated, a magnetic field is generated to create instant heat. Through this technology, the inner cooking pan itself becomes the heat source utilizing both high heat and fine heat adjustments to control the cooking process. The result -- quicker, more evenly distributed heat for perfectly cooked delicious rice everytime. This unit has an extra large colored LCD display with clock and timer function. Convenient detachable inner lid for easy cleaning, stay cool side handles make removal of inner cooking pan quick and easy. Black thick spherical inner cooking pan and induction heating system provide even heating for perfectly cooked rice every time. GABA BROWN menu or brown rice activation available to activate brown rice for increased nutritional values.

I knew that I would be getting a high-quality product simply because it is 100% engineered and manufactured in Japan. I was also curious how the "Magnetic Induction" worked and what benefits it provided over traditional heating coil-based cookers.
As it turns out, the magnetic induction thing is very, very nice. There is no heating coil at the bottom of this cooker. Instead, magnets are cycled on and off around the pan causing it to heat up perfectly evenly. The thing that amazed me about this cooker is that the traditional "skin" of browned, crusty rice always found at the bottom of other cookers is totally absent. Every single grain of rice you put in is wonderfully cooked coming out. While this cooker has a large capacity, it handles small quantities wonderfully. As a single bachelor/student, I can't say enough how nice it is to be able to cook only a single cup...Read more 218 of 229 people found the following review helpful: Superb !!!, By Ultimate Realist (Sugar Land, TX) - See all my reviews This review is from: Zojirushi NH-VBC18 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System (Kitchen) I have been an avid white rice eater since my birth. Over the years scientific evidence has slowly accumulated that white rice is probably not as healthy as once thought. I remember coming to the US in 1980 as a graduate student from India and then being diagnosed with essential hypertension. My first blood pressure measuring device had a manual that claimed that exclusively eating rice and fruit juice would mitigate (and even cure!) hypertension. Today neither fruit juice nor rice (at least the white polished variety) are considered all that healthy. The former because of the sugars contained and the latter because the body converts the starches to glucose. I have attempted unsuccessfully to wean myself of white rice and switch to Indian wheat tortillas (chappatis) over the years. I have also tried switching over to eating brown rice. Unfortunately, my eighties era rice cooker (also a Zojirushii that still runs after 17 years of daily use) was never...Read more 56 of 58 people found the following review helpful: Better value than your $20 rice cooker, here's why:, This review is from: Zojirushi NH-VBC18 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System (Kitchen) I am now a believer. I thought this was a pricey item, but so many reviews averaging five stars was compelling and I ordered the cooker. Maybe this is a reiteration of what others have already said - but here's a comparison with my old $20-$30 rice cooker:
- ONE cup of rice can be cooked here if you need it. I bought some expensive wild rice and I didn't want to make it in bulk, just enough to savor. There is no burned, gelated bottom layer, even with one cup. The cheapo cooker would have had a burned layer and much soaking and washing afterwards. The absence of a localized heat point makes it possible to cook one to ten cups perfectly. - No false readings. The cheap cooker would switch from cook to warm if: 1) It was tapped accidentally, 2) If rice happened to cook faster near the center and bottom, 3) if a bird chirped. If tripped too early, the rice would never cook well again and often had to be thrown out because of a hard center. -...Read more |
