   So I got the Zojirushi NS-LHC05XT. Which Isn’t the one I really wanted to get, but tough times, so I compromised an got this one. So far, it is outstanding! One of the first things I noticed when I unboxed it and was looking at everything is the actually cooking bowl/pot/insert/thing lol… we’ll just call it a bowl. Anyway, it’s got some heft, and boy does it absorb heat. Be Careful when washing by hand because that bowl will heat up quick.I initially did the max at 3 cups of rice, and I would say that is a bit much on a day to day. If your going to cook 3 cups of rice often then a bigger rice cooker may be what you’re looking for. This will do it, but its full when cooked. A Lot of rice in a little guy.One to two cups of rice daily, perfect! No matter how much rice I put in, it always seems to take about an hour. As soon as I start feeling hungry; I go whip up a batch of rice, Nishiki, and let it go to town. The measuring cup and the water lines on the bowl are spot on. I’m a little less precise when measuring out my rice and water, and I can tell when the rice is done. It does a great job anyway, rice is always evenly cooked.Cleaning is pretty simple, as long as you didn’t have any spill over onto the rice cooker… Just pull the bowl when empty and the rice spoon and wash them. I wash mine by hand, as i’m pretty particular about scratching it. I wash it with warm water, as I mentioned earlier it absorbs heat really well. Get everything washed up and set it up to dry and your good to go for next time!I’ve had it for a few weeks now, and I have no issues with it. The biggest issue i’ve had with it, is “I” forgot to press the button to cook the rice. lolI have yet to really use the other settings, but I’m sure everything will work as advertised. It’s a great little rice cooker and highly recommend anyone that enjoys rice to invest in one, if not this one.

   OK folks, this just made the best home cooked rice I have had since I was at a friend’s house in Japan. She had a Zojirushi. I can now say that was probably the trick. I am not a rice connoisseur but, I do like rice. I have been using the ordinary cheaper rice cookers you get a the department store for years. The ones that cook, click off, and you set the timer to allow the rice to set before you fluff it to release the steam. I have been eyeing the various Zojirushi models the whole time but, could not get past the price tag. I finally bought this one. Should have done it long ago. I have only made white medium grain in it once but, it was great. The texture was perfect. I am looking forward to trying the brown rice setting to see if it can make brown rice more palatable. I am happy with this purchase.Update: I made a batch of brown rice using the GABA setting. It came out very good. The texture is good. It is not the hard shelled brown rice my old rice cooker made. It taste good albeit different from white rice. Given the health related benefits of brown rice and how nicely this cooker cooks it, I might start eating more of it now. I am REALLY happy with this rice cooker.

   Overall, I’ve been very happy with this rice cooker. It’s very simple to use, just measure your rice with the included cup, rinse it, add it to the rice cooker, and fill with water to the line that matches the number of cups of rice you added. Both the dedicated setting for each rice type and the quick cook setting produce perfectly cooked rice.The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is that it takes a while for rice to cook, much longer than the stove top. I usually prepare 3 cups of jasmine rice when I make a meal. With this rice cooker it takes about 50 minutes, and on the stove 20-30 minutes.I do wish I had gotten a larger size, but I didn’t deduct a star for that because it’s my own fault. The most rice you can prepare at once is 3 of the included cups, which is enough for about 4 meals.

   We’ve been using it everyday for 3.5 yrs now. It’s still working like day one. The Elephant makes the best rice cookers.

   It takes a 98 minutes for my brown rice to be done, but it’s worth the wait. It cooks the rice perfectly

   Makes great rice, although I have not tried all of the modes. Cleanup after cooking rice is a bit of a pain. The cooking bowl is nonstick, so I would not put that in the dishwasher. Then there’s the intermediate lid, which has fragile rubber gaskets, which I would not put in the dishwasher either. Instead I rinse that under hot tap water. Then the top lid has a convoluted path that the exiting steam has to pass through. So I’m thinking you need to rinse that path out as well. Even if you don’t, it drips into the cooking bowl for hours after you think you are done.

   I had a cheap instant pot but after I moved to a new place I decided to invest in an expensive one since I think rice is very important for me. Well this rice cooker is amazing. I used the same brown rice, the one cooked by this Zojirushi rice cooker turned out to be softer, tastier, and even the volume is bigger than what I used to get (probably because previously the bottom layer was always stuck to the pot). I’m very happy with this one – it’s pricer but it’s worth it.
