Most Popular Rice Cooker Brands
Rice cookers come in all shapes and sizes. As these
appliances become more technologically advanced, the number of manufacturers
that are equipped to create them shrinks over time. After a while you are
left with some of the best brands in the industry – those remaining
companies that have been able to focus on rice cooker technology and hold
their own in the competitive market.
Some of the most popular rice cooker brands are:
·
Zojirushi

Panasonic (National)
Panasonic isn’t known for any of the more advanced
rice cookers, but they are known to create very solid on/off varieties with
extra features like a cool handles to bring the rice from room to room, as
well as a steaming basket for steaming vegetables and meats. Panasonic’s
rice cooker brand was once called “National” and was one of the leaders in
the industry, but the brand name has since been faded out in favor of the
more internationally recognized “Panasonic.”

VitaClay™
VitaClay brings a unique style to rice cooking.
Designed for natural foods enthusiasts, VitaClay uses a clay based
suspension heating to heat the water not just from the bottom (like most
rice cookers) but from the sides as well. This ensures the water is warm all
over and that the heating process is completely natural.

Aroma

Oster
Oster rice cookers are similar to Aroma, except
with slightly less variety. One thing that sets them apart, however, is that
Oster takes as much pride in the design of their appliances as they do in
the technology itself. The current models of Oster rice cookers are some of
the sleekest in the industry, hands down.
