Pros
As with most fuzzy logic rice cookers, the
Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer is great for creating
restaurant quality rice at home. The fuzzy logic system is very effective;
it is able to cook rice from top to bottom with very little burning. It can
handle any form of rice, and it's also equipped to make congee effectively
as well.
In addition, the non-stick pan, spatula and spatula
holder are a nice touch, since the rice spatula can actually attach to the
side of the cooker for added convenience. The Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice
Cooker and Warmer also has a retractable cord for extra safety.
Cons
The first con for many people will be the price,
which can be as much as three times the amount of most electric rice
cookers. For a fuzzy logic rice cooker, the Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice
Cooker and Warmer is actually right on the money, as almost no fuzzy logic
systems can be found for under $100, but if money is tight, shelling out
close to $200 is not for everyone.
The 3 cup size of this rice cooker can be small for
some people. Also the inside pot of the rice cooker is not scratch
resistant, and the cup that you get with the rice cooker is not actually
American cup sized. It is actually about ¾ a cup.
Overall Impressions
The Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer is
easily one of the best rice cookers available. It is pricey, but so are most
fuzzy logic rice cookers. Provided you are fine with adjusting your rice
measurements and scratching the inside of the pot, you should be pleased
with this appliance.
