Busy cooks cherish rice cookers. This is Zojirrushi's largest, suitable for cooking up to 10 cups of dry rice (white or brown) and keeping it warm up to five hours. A separate tray steams seafood and vegetables, cooks hard- or soft-boiled eggs, and even makes tender custards. Instructions and a cooking chart explain everything. A measuring cup and serving spatula are included. A glass lid permits monitoring of the cooking process. The cooker/steamer operates with admirable simplicity: just push a switch to start. The switch and a light turn off when cooking is completed, and the unit automatically goes into its keep-warm mode. Stay-cool handles on the cooker/steamer's sides permit it to be moved. Only plastic scrubbers and mild detergent should be used for cleaning. --Fred Brack
Product Description
Plump moist grains of rice and brilliantly colored flavorful vegetables are yours with this steamer. Steaming not only preserves nutrients, flavors, and colors marvelously well, it also allows you to cook without adding oil or fat. Once your food is cooked it will stay warm until you're ready to serve, eliminating those timing headaches. And last but surely not least, the cooking pan is removable and non-stick, ensuring your precious time isn't spent cleaning up.

Well worth the money! December 17, 2008

This is the first time I've bothered to write a review on something I've purchased through Amazon. I eat exclusively brown rice and this rice cooker has no problems preparing it. The directions contained in the manual for rice to water ratio work pretty well.
There are a few problems though, the boiling water bubbles up and "spits" out the vent in the top making your counter a little messy. The other problem I've had is trying to incorporate rice into every meal I eat. Cereal & rice, ham sandwich & rice, Spaghetti & rice, you get the picture.
In summary, I am impressed with the Zojirushi appliance and I would have given it 5 stars if it didn't hock loogies all over my counter.

Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer & Warmer
I say its ok. It makes too many rules to make rice and to me the rice is watery. You can't put the rice in the rice maker pot and drain the rice before turning the rice maker on. you have to use their measure cup, use a separate bowl, use the measure inside the pot for water amount, the glass lid is heavy, slippery and hard to clean. I expected more simple instructions and better steamed rice.
 Easy to use Rice cooker October 14, 2008

I bought this to replace an older, smaller Salton model that worked well, but did not have replacement parts available when the silicone insert in the steam opening was lost. I wanted something to cook rice easily and larger quantities than the old one. Despite some negative reviews, this seemed to be the best choice for the price. I am not disappointed. I just add a little more liquid when cooking brown or a wild rice mixture we cook very often. No problems and the rice is just right. I'd recommend it without reservations. I also like the separate steaming basket included. A great addition!!
Very reliable (for over a decade) August 30, 2008

I just wanted to mention that I've owned this rice cooker for 17 years (yikes!), and it works exactly the same today as it did when new. No problems at all. I use it about once a month on average, sometimes much more. I usually only make 2 or 3 cups (pre-cooked) at once.
Just wanted to comment on its excellent reliability. I am not a 'foodie,' so can't discuss the finer points of the rice it makes. I just know that I like it. I only make white rice, and follow the directions (except I've never rinsed - didn't realize I was supposed to, and haven't noticed any problem with cooking or clean up or taste, so why bother).
FYI It's conceivable that the model number has changed since I bought it, but my 10 cup rice cooker looks exactly like this one - same lid, same controls, same steamer basket. (I paid about fifty dollars for it at Lechmere in 1991.)
A Must Buy June 26, 2008

I could not be happier with my Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer & Warmer. You can't go wrong with this exceptional machine. You add rice (I use Jasmine), you add water, push the little lever down and about 15-20 minutes later you have tasty tasty rice. I use about a 2 cups of rice to 2 1/2 cups of water ratio. The cooker will actually turn from "Cooking" to "Keep-Warm" when the rice is done. No need to watch it; just let it do its thing. I haven't used the Steamer function as of yet, but I imagine it will be just as easy. The only down side is that it is a 10-Cup rice cooker and I doubt I'll ever use it to its full capacity. There are smaller Zojirushi models, but for the extra cash the Keep-Warm feature on this model makes it worth-while. If you want perfect rice every time get yourself a Zojirushi!
