I just bought mine three days ago and I get, I totally get it. Thanks for making me reconsider my options and not wasting the second half of my life with cooking rice in a pot.
Thanks for your wonderful comment!! You know the two best things about rice cookers are 1. No need to time when cooking rice 2. You can eat warm rice pretty much anytime. Japanese people eat rice 2,3 times a day, so it really makes our lives more efficient and effective! It might even be a hidden contributor to Japanese economy. Haha
wow, that kid (smaller one) is super smart! (I'm sure the other one is too) but like she actually analyzed the problem in her mind and worked out possible solutions to the scenario that was presented to her, major props to the parents!
As a pretty avid TH-cam watcher, this is one of my favorite videos I've seen in a long time. Funny, informative, fantastic intro, fun family. Subscribed! P.S. I just got the Zojirushi neural fuzzy model and am going to make rice an everyday thing. Amazing results. Going to try making the Salmon and Sisho rice soon!
I am from south Louisiana and grew up eating rice twice a day till I was in my 20s. Rice was eaten with meats, sauce, gumbo, stews, rice dressing, jambalaya, red beans and rice, seafood etoufee, and sometimes was transformed into a delightful rice pudding for dessert. I am quite capable of preparing a nice pot of rice on the stovetop. I have also purchased different brands of rice cookers through the years. My primary complaint with all of those was the hard, browned rice at the bottom of the pot which i tossed into the garbage. But then I discovered Zojirushi! I will NEVER be without this miraculous appliance! The model i purchased is the NP-NVC10. It’s several years old and preforms like a dream - never any hard crunchy bottom of the pot rice - unless you chose the scorch setting.
I have used my rice cooker in different ways since being home so much. My latest experiment has been using silicone cups to hold extra items I want to steam, like leftover rice, eggs or frozen veg. I put my old 3 cup zojirushi on ‘quick cook’ to reheat something (usually a stew, beans, or curry), and place the silicone cups with foods on top of the reheating food. 20 minutes or so, it’s all reheated/cooked. It’s been a great help. The silicone cups are a silicone ‘muffin pan’ I didn’t like, that I cut up into separate pieces.
I just stumbled upon this channel and I love it. The sense of humor, how informative it is, and good family relationship vibes. Please keep up the good work!
I usually eat brown rice, which takes longer than white rice. I had a rice cooker and it was good, but slow with brown rice. When I got an instant pot (pressure cooker), it became my new rice cooker. It’s a very versatile cooking appliance, and has completely replaced my rice cooker. Love it.
Sir thank you, I had for a year a normal rice cooker (chinese brand) but i always wanted a Zojiruchi and finally made it to Japan a month ago, could not let the Zojiruchi pass. I cannot be more happy with it, but i never got to experience the daily life of Japanese with the rice cooking so i been looking for videos like yours. Thank you very much, i now can try different things with it, if you have any english booklet for different things to do I would very much appreciate it. Rice is love, rice is life... and Japan is full of it.
😂 based on a survey of 4 people.. 🤣 Your daughters are precious! I just got my new rice cooker. Best purchase I have made in a long time. After blowing through a few 40 dollar cookers, I decided that it's time to buy a real one. I love it! I made a batch for dinner last night, and woke up this morning, with fresh steaming- NOT hard or gummy rice for breakfast. Perfect. 🤗
Yes!! With a rice cooker, having freshly cooked rice for breakfast is as easy as toasting a bread. I live quite minimalistic, but this thing is necessary. Haha
This was awesome! I just got my very first rice cooker (an expensive zojirushi) and used it tonight. Now looking to perfect my technique and, after watching this, add variety. Loved you for person survey 😂! ありがとうございます！
I’ve had mine for several years. It’s so nice to put the rice in, put the water in, turn it on and forget about it until the Zojirushi tune plays saying it’s ready. 👍
Yes, a grill like that comes in handy, even for vegans. You can grill bread, tomatoes, peppers and even vegan meats. Maybe mochi and even rice cakes. Does very well for meats, although charcoal is better.
sensei! this was so great! i just bought one becsuse i have a lot of stress and often i skip eating or just eat bad things. i plan to prepare and wash the rice in the morning and having ready thanks to the coocker. its going to help so much :)
Today I replaced the rice cooker that my mom used when I was a kid. It had one button. I just made jasmine rice in my new zojirushi, and I feel like I've never had rice before. I don't mind that it takes about an hour. I bet if I used the quick rice setting it would turn out like my old one (20-30 min).I'm going to have my mom over for dinner, but I'm not going to tell her about the rice cooker. lol For the last couple of months I've been doing it on the stove, and while I can do it, I don't like having to think about it.
Great job! Love the intro and the survey haha. Wish i have fish grill too! That salmon rice is probably the most appealing at this moment ha 😍 thanks so much for your tips! I need to get a good rice cooker! I'm im the stone age with my pot
Haha. Thank you. there are many fans who cook with pots and not use electricity. The taste, some claim to be better:) I just wanted to promote rice cookers with my SLIGHTLY biased video!
One thing i’m so excited to try is special recipes like these in my rice cooker. I’ve had my STAN rice cooker for about a year and a half, and its performance is always mind blowing. One thing i’ll try is lentils. I need a way to have more protein faster and easier. And I still haven’t tried the brown setting. I’m excited!!
Now I’ve had a zojirushi rice cooker( baby elephant) I can’t imagine life without it. If it ever dies I’ll replace it because I can’t go back to cheap rice cookers. I do wash my rice in a separate rice washing bowl to help preserve the rice cooker removable pan for as long as possible. My sone uses Chinese sausage in his rice for a meal after a hard day at college. I love tomato and mushroom rice. However eve;just making any of the several types of rice all work well in this cooker.
Thank you very much! This was Informative, I Bought a Rice Cooker from Zojirushi. And Looked for possbile Ricer Cooker Videos that helping me to understand how to use it. Most People would say its easy to use , but if you have never done it before it isnt so easy to understand first. Now after 1-2 Times use. Its far easier as before to understand how to use :)
@@japanese1cooking Exactly My Thought, In the Meantime I used the Rice Cooker Several Times now. I still have to try to Put something in like Carrot like you have done it in the Video :) Thank you so much again for your Video :)
Thanks for this informative and entertaining video. Very sympathic! 🙂👍🏻 Unfortunately, Zojirushi rice cookers are difficult to obtain in Germany and three to four times as expensive as in Japan, but I will get one of these. Have heard too many times that these are the best rice cookers in the world. The cooked rice in the video looks just perfect. ❤️ Greetings from Bavaria, Germany to Japan! 😉
I eat rice about everyday. This has been a godsend. Better than restaurant rice, best rice I ever ate. Couldn’t do without my baby elephant. A must kitchen appliance.
I like how a rice cooker video turns, near the end, into introspective contemplation of the very heart and soul of Japan. Also, the thumbnail image is hilarious. Well done, sir.
@@japanese1cooking Ha, that is funny, sharing Japanese mentality. Enjoyed your video. At the end with your daughters, I presume, was cute. I am looking to get a rice cooker, the YumAsia Sakura, and came across your video.
I love my rice cooker too!! But I am just learning to use it. I was scared to use the keep warm feature 😱 I like the poll and results 🥰 beautiful family 😻
Thank you so much!! Do use the keep warm feature!! That’s what rice cookers are for! Haha but, in the end, no right or wrong. Whatever that suits your lifestyle is best😊
Your video is just amazing. I love your edits and the video itself. I FINALLY got myself a rice cooker too and I’m going to try out all your recipes 😊 thank you very much!!!!!!!!!
We just recieved our Zojirushi NS-TSC10 in the mail! We went from a 1.5cup amazon rice cooker to a 5.5cup zojirushi and we love it! I Make a lot of recipes with our little one but it just was mever enough for our family everyone would have to wait their turn very annoying. Never again!
1. Your intro totally made my day 2. Your kids are adorable 3. Your survey skills/scientific research method about life without rice cookers were... let's say, interesting and totally not subjective. No, not at all.
Very entertaining and informative! I'll add that most quality rice cookers today will soak white rice for you unless you choose the "quick cooking option"... If it takes closer to 40-50 min for it make white (My basic 5 cup zojirushi does) rice, it has probably soaked it for 20-30 min as part of the cooking cycle.
Thank you!! I never knew that!!! When I use a rice cooker, I never soak white rice, even thought that’s what we all have been taught. My wife and mom never do it anymore, neither does my dad. It only makes the rice too soft. I was thinking it was due to the improvement of shaving techniques by rice stores.
@@japanese1cooking The brand of brown rice I use is called Nishiki. For cooking in electric rice cooker Nishiki suggests adding 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Today I'm cooking 6 cups of rice, which means I would need to add 12 cups of water. However, the brown rice water line in my Zojirushi rice cooker wants me to add around 5-6 cups. Am I to follow the Nishiki instructions or Zojirushi?
OMG Tora-san, now you've got daughter on your own. I watched your 8 years ago video about Dashimaki Tamago 😆 keep up the good work, you've improved a lot!
To avoid oxidizing leafy vegetables and most likely Shiso leaves (I’ve never bought Shiso), use a knife made out of ceramic or plastic. The greens are reacting to the iron in steel knives
i got two measuring cups and a paddle with my zojirushi 5.5 cup rice cooker as well as a bowl. i gotta say, it was the best hundred dollars i have spent in a long time.
Tracy Houser Thank you!! I did not know Nobuo Uematsu so I looked him up!! I see, Final Fantasy series!! I’m honored now!!!😆😆 I’ve only tried FF7 and never got into it. I grew up in the world of Dragon Quest!!
There are times when we have to admit a machine is better. A high-end rice cooker is the best example in my experience of cooking for 35 years. We took the plunge a couple of years ago. It took me a bit of time to hit the 'BUY' button. It was expensive. It's paid for itself by virtue of consistent, perfect rice every time. You start it and walk away. Zojirushis are excellent!
I wash rice using a plastic or flexi bowl or glass bowl. Nowadays, there are bowls sold that is for washing fruits and vegetables and for rice instead of using the rice cooker's bowl.
I just want a rice cooker that works good and won’t need replacing on a frequent basis. I’m only cooking for one person. Due to chronic illness, rice is a *big* part of my diet. (It doesn’t make me sick, as a rule.) I currently eat mostly parboiled rice, as I can fix that and not ruin it if I’m needing to cook the stuff on the stove.
Great video - I’ve been on the fence about getting a rice cooker. We have an instant pot and the rice gets a little over cooked at the bottom. I also like the idea of keeping the rice warm. Based on the survey at the end, my life is only about 55% complete 😕… Any recommendations on a good 1st rice cooker to buy? I need to fill the 45% of emptiness that fills my heart…
@@evenesence21 thanks Michelle, I appreciate it! We have two pressure cookers - one has a nonstick pot. Anyway, I pulled the trigger on a Zojirushi NS-TSC10. Should be the last one I buy, right? 🙂
Hello! I just received and cooked my rice for the first time in a Zojirushi rice cooker and it was INCREDIBLE, like eating a cloud. I just have a question. The manual specifies I shouldn't cook anything in it aside from rice and cake, so I'm a bit scared of putting anything else in it. Still I really want to try all these recipes... Will my rice cooker break or malfunction if I cook these recipes? My model is NLBAC05SB for 3 cups
Hahaha, Zojirushi are the expensive ones here in Europe! I've been trying to eat in a more healthy manner, so I'm considering getting a rice cooker. I'm probably gonna get one after I get a blender!
Thank you for the information. Wasn't sure if putting ingredients prior before the rice is cooked could work and I had been a little too scared to experiment with my new one. You brought me to tons of new ideas! Thanks a lot!
Love the intro and the survey!! So fun to watch, and since I’m learning Japanese it helps me a lot with the Japanese audio and English subtitles. Can you steam stuff too? I have one but just use it to make rice :P
Thank you!! I will try to do more videos with English sub!! Yes, you can steam things too!! But the rice will carry on that smell the next day you cook rice!
I will be buying one next month and on my search for the right model I compared the prices between the same Zojirushi models in Europe and Asia. They cost 3-4 times more in Europe than in Japan, Singapore, Hongkong or Thailand 😢
Great video. I don’t think a rice cooker is expensive if you use it almost everyday. I bought a $150 Zohorushi rice cooker 6 years ago and we are just now replacing it with a $350 one. In our family we use it AT LEAST twice a week and I have no data to back it up but I assume it is less electricity than boiling a pot on the stove. 🤷♂️
Thank you for your opinion! You’re right, if you consider electricity, it may pay off in a long run. So much to think about when buying these things!!! Haha
I just bought mine three days ago and I get, I totally get it. Thanks for making me reconsider my options and not wasting the second half of my life with cooking rice in a pot.

Guess what: "Rice cooker" has become one of the very first words of our 1.5 year old daughter!
it is a great appliance. have you tried air fryer and instant pot?
🤣
What is the coating on the pot, is it teflon?
wow, that kid (smaller one) is super smart! (I'm sure the other one is too) but like she actually analyzed the problem in her mind and worked out possible solutions to the scenario that was presented to her, major props to the parents!

I am from south Louisiana and grew up eating rice twice a day till I was in my 20s.

Thank you!! I did not know Nobuo Uematsu so I looked him up!! I see, Final Fantasy series!! I’m honored now!!!😆😆 I’ve only tried FF7 and never got into it. I grew up in the world of Dragon Quest!!
I like how you made this video so funny and the information is also useful. Thank you very much.
Thank you so very much for your comment 😙😙
There are times when we have to admit a machine is better. A high-end rice cooker is the best example in my experience of cooking for 35 years. We took the plunge a couple of years ago. It took me a bit of time to hit the 'BUY' button. It was expensive. It's paid for itself by virtue of consistent, perfect rice every time. You start it and walk away. Zojirushis are excellent!
This was so honest and cute, I can tell you love cooking. Thank you!
Cooking is great and I think honesty is also great! Thank you for understanding my messages!
This video was funny and informative. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!
This is such a funny cute and actually Educational video!!!!
I wash rice using a plastic or flexi bowl or glass bowl. Nowadays, there are bowls sold that is for washing fruits and vegetables and for rice instead of using the rice cooker's bowl.
Great video, thanks for sharing!🙂
I just want a rice cooker that works good and won’t need replacing on a frequent basis. I’m only cooking for one person.
Due to chronic illness, rice is a *big* part of my diet. (It doesn’t make me sick, as a rule.)
I currently eat mostly parboiled rice, as I can fix that and not ruin it if I’m needing to cook the stuff on the stove.
Great video - I’ve been on the fence about getting a rice cooker. We have an instant pot and the rice gets a little over cooked at the bottom. I also like the idea of keeping the rice warm. Based on the survey at the end, my life is only about 55% complete 😕… Any recommendations on a good 1st rice cooker to buy? I need to fill the 45% of emptiness that fills my heart…
Replace the metal pan/insert with the nonstick version, it made a huge difference for Me. I also add about 1/4 more water, than the instructions.
@@evenesence21 thanks Michelle, I appreciate it! We have two pressure cookers - one has a nonstick pot. Anyway, I pulled the trigger on a Zojirushi NS-TSC10. Should be the last one I buy, right? 🙂
Hello! I just received and cooked my rice for the first time in a Zojirushi rice cooker and it was INCREDIBLE, like eating a cloud. I just have a question. The manual specifies I shouldn't cook anything in it aside from rice and cake, so I'm a bit scared of putting anything else in it. Still I really want to try all these recipes... Will my rice cooker break or malfunction if I cook these recipes? My model is NLBAC05SB for 3 cups
Hahaha, Zojirushi are the expensive ones here in Europe! I've been trying to eat in a more healthy manner, so I'm considering getting a rice cooker. I'm probably gonna get one after I get a blender!
Love this!!!
Thank you for the information. Wasn't sure if putting ingredients prior before the rice is cooked could work and I had been a little too scared to experiment with my new one. You brought me to tons of new ideas! Thanks a lot!
?that is a super cool oven you got there. what brand is that?
Love the intro and the survey!! So fun to watch, and since I’m learning Japanese it helps me a lot with the Japanese audio and English subtitles. Can you steam stuff too? I have one but just use it to make rice :P
Thank you!! I will try to do more videos with English sub!! Yes, you can steam things too!! But the rice will carry on that smell the next day you cook rice!
Fantastic Survey! My life suck without a rice cooker.
Hilarious and informative! Perfect combination! 😃
What an intro. I love your style of humor
Thank you so much!! I’m glad I spent some time making it!!haha
I will be buying one next month and on my search for the right model I compared the prices between the same Zojirushi models in Europe and Asia. They cost 3-4 times more in Europe than in Japan, Singapore, Hongkong or Thailand 😢
Great video. I don’t think a rice cooker is expensive if you use it almost everyday. I bought a $150 Zohorushi rice cooker 6 years ago and we are just now replacing it with a $350 one. In our family we use it AT LEAST twice a week and I have no data to back it up but I assume it is less electricity than boiling a pot on the stove. 🤷♂️
Thank you for your opinion! You’re right, if you consider electricity, it may pay off in a long run. So much to think about when buying these things!!! Haha
Just got one for Christmas 🔥
This video is so funny and informative. Thank you😊
Domo
I will add chicken broth, coconut chips, turmeric, black pepper, and bell peppers... Bits of salmon also
Wow this video made me laugh. I like the survey at the end.
Thank you!! I don’t want to sound irresponsible, but the numbers will probably stay similar after asking 100 more Japanese people. 🙆🏻♂️
Love it.
