Cooking quality rice has always been a feat to accomplish.  The rice we get cooked goes through an up and down cycle.  At one time, we cook perfect rice and at other times, we do not.  The Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker takes the uncertainty of getting perfectly cooked rice away.

In purchasing the Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker, I had a tough decision to make.  It was kind of an expensive item but now, I am glad I bought it.  It is a very good investment.  Ever since I’ve had it, I never had to worry about getting perfect, delicious rice.

It is so consistent.  The fuzzy logic technology it has adjusts temperature accordingly and I think the nonstick bowl it has contributes to the cooking of perfect rice too.  It seems to distribute heat evenly so I never have to get burnt rice in the corners or in the middle part of the bowl.

The Zojirushi Micom Cooker is also of a good appearance and size.  The stainless steel face of it matches all my kitchen appliances and it’s easy to find a place for it in a small kitchen counter and it doesn’t take up much space.  A special feature this rice cooker has that I love so much is its retractable cord.  Just like a vacuum cleaner cord, the cord doesn’t get into the way and makes the counter top look messy because after you’re done cooking, just retract the cord!

The Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker has a spatula holder too.  This is an interesting concept that other rice cooker makers haven’t thought about.  Everything about this rice cooker is so space saving.  It is also so easy to clean.  No full effort wiping is needed to get the starchy white residue off of this rice cooker.

Another fantastic feature of this rice cooker is its timer feature.  I can program it for rice to be cooked while I’m making my way home from work or am busy with chores and whatnot.  It keeps rice warm and I can use the keep warm function for other viands too.

When rice is cooked, the Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker plays a tune, the signal of good perfect rice. This rice cooker suits me perfectly as I do live alone but I recommend that if you are feeding a number of people, go buy a bigger one.
