Zojirushi rice cooker comparison

40多年象印提供了很多of rice cookers to suit individual needs. Today they offer everything from basic conventional cookers to very advanced cookers that utilize pressure cooking, induction heating and micom computerization. Learn about each line below and scroll down the page to see our rice cooker comparison charts.

Pressure

TheNP-NVC Pressure rice cookeris the most-advanced Zojirushi rice cooker. The NP-NVC uses pressurized cooking, induction heating and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to cook perfect rice.

Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure. Cooking rice with pressure helps turn beta starch into alpha starch. This change makes the rice softer and easier to digest, and even fluffier to the taste. Rice cooked with pressure has also been found to stay soft for longer periods of time when compared to conventionally cooked rice.

Induction

Zojirushi's Induction Heating (IH) rice cookersare the cutting edge in heating technology. Rather than the traditional heating element at the bottom of the rice cooker, these cookers utilize induction heating principles to heat the entire inner cooking pan, in effect making the cooking pan itself the heating element. This enables the rice cooker to make finer temperature adjustments. Because of its quicker response time, IH rice cookers can adjust the heating temperature and time quicker for better tasting rice.All IH rice cookers are also Micom rice cookers.

Micom

Computerized Micom rice cookersare more advanced than Conventional cookers. This line offers cookers with Fuzzy and Neuro Fuzzy® microcomputer chip technology. Micom or micro computerized rice cookers are easily recognizable by their digital face. Equipped with a computer chip, the rice cooker can “think” and adjust cooking length and temperature according to the thermal sensor’s calculations. Micom rice cookers not only make perfect white rice, but also flawless brown rice, sushi rice, and porridge. Unlike with conventional rice cookers, soaking and steaming time before and after cooking rice is automatically programmed.

Fuzzy logic, originally introduced by Lotfi Zadeh in the 1960's, mimics human reasoning. Zojirushi coined the trademarkNeuro Fuzzy®to designate their advanced micro computerized rice cookers.

Conventional

Zojirushi's Conventional electric rice cookers, first invented in 1955, are inexpensive and ideal for beginners. To cook white rice, just add rice, water, and push a button. Though conventional rice cookers were designed to make perfect white rice, they also excel in making brown and sushi rice with just a few adjustments. Also, because these conventional rice cookers are designed to simply heat, boil, and turn themselves off, they double as convenient steamers.
