Zojirushi Rice Cooker and More5
I recently purchased this product from an Amazon merchant and love it! Since I've started incorporating more whole grains into my diet, and being a rice-lover, this item appealed to me from all I'd read, and the GABA rice setting is what really sold me. I've successfully used it to cook Lundberg short grain brown rice on the GABA setting, hulled barley on the GABA setting, organic millet, and whole oats on the GABA setting. There aren't instructions that specifically direct you as to how to cook these particular grains using this product, and the barley I cooked needs to have the amount of water I used the first time tweaked for perfection, but I'm really excited about having the use of this rice cooker for other whole grains. I intend to try whole buckwheat next. One thing that is very nice about using this gadget is that there is no wasting of water lost to steam from over-boiling in order to thoroughly cook these grains. I highly recommend this product for people, like me, who dedicate a large portion of their dietary needs to whole grain consumption... just experiment with the amount of water until you get it just the way you like it, and remember that less water than you'd ordinarily use will probably work with this machine. You just add the grains and water, set it appropriately, and let it do its thing! It shuts itself off automatically at the end of its cooking cycle, and keeps the grains warm, moist and unburnt, until you're ready to eat them.
i wish i had a spaceship, but i'll settle for this5
great product. i realize that the price tag is not for everyone, but if price is of no object, and or you love cooking this is the best kitchen tool ever. now sure rice is one of the easiest things to make, but its also one of the easiest things to screw up. all it takes is 5 minutes too long on the burner and viola... poopy tasting rice. besides its ability to cook many different types of rice perfectly (correcting for your errors of rice/water ratio) it gives you time to focus your time on the rest of the cooking and opens up a burner. i have owned the $30-$50 rice cookers and although they work, they make a much bigger mess and the rice is far from perfect. the only negative thing i can say about this cooker is that unless you use the "be ready at this time" method, then it only gives you a 5-10 minute range of when its gonna be done. i realize that the computer has to calculate how much water is left and how long it will take to boil off; it cant give that measurement to you 45 minutes out, but at the price paid i almost expected it. if your in the market and your pocket book is deep enough, in the words of jim cramer "BUY! BUY! BUY!"
Healthy Choices: Quinoa, GABA Rice, Millet, More5
I've had this product since it came out and I bought it on Amazon. I love it! Using fresh whole grains bought in bulk, I use this item as the mainstay of my meal preparation. The price is high, but it is comparable to having a good convection oven, which I don't use. The Zojirushi, Soyabella soymilk maker, propane stove, Bravetti, and a deydrator is all I use for meal prep. We pulled the oven out of the wall and use it to store whole foods.
I make quinoa, millet, and GABA brown rice in it. The beauty is that I can put the ingredients into it in the morning, then have the grains ready for meal prepp later in the day. I also take the time for GABA brown rice to reset the timer in order to allow more time for activation. That is the only thing on my wish list: a timer setting to increase the GABA activation time. Other than that, it is a setup and walk away type of appliance. I don't have to supervise the cooking process.
