Zojirushi NP-HBC10 Review
Zojirushi NP-HBC10 User Reviews:
Yes, you’d think this cost a lot considering that it only cooks rice, but if you eat rice nearly every day, a rice cooker is not something you should skimp on. There should be no compromises because chances are, the rice cooker you are using will last you decades. So think about it, do you want to eat mediocre rice for the next few decades in order to save a few bucks or do you want to eat the best? Those couple of dollars you’ll save on buying a cheap rice cooker will be negligible over the long run. So what makes this rice cooker one of the best? It has induction heating so the rice will always be consistent. No more rice sticking, no more burnt rice. It has lots of digital functions as well, if you want to cook porridge or soft or hard rice, anything you want, there is a setting for it. So this is a great rice cooker that anyone who eats rice regularly should have.

We’ve had this rice cooker for a couple of months and absolutely love it. Most of the time, I cook brown basmati rice on the GABA brown setting. It’s easy to prepare a cup of rice in the morning before I go to work and so satisfying to have the best brown rice when we get home. I’ve also cooked steel cut oats using the porridge setting (fabulous results, even better than cooking it in the slow cooker) and quinoa using the quick cooking setting. I love that I don’t have to watch the pot, wait for water to boil or clean up any boilovers.

Zojirushi NP-HBC10 Reviews. Part 1
Two months is a time period of flawless exploitation of Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System in our family. Many people ask why to buy a rice cooker? Well, I can answer this question with another one – why we need to care about our health at all? My family members like to eat meals with brown rice and since we are on such diet most time the unit like the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 rice cooker is an inevitable kitchen appliance in our house.
Due to the fact we have not notice any drawbacks so far, I want to share my feedback about the advantages of the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 rice cooker. Foremost, it is a very powerful appliance with 5 and half cups’ capacity and smart multi-task menu functions provided via a well-designed LCD control panel. Besides there is a timer for proper rice cooking and a regime keeping cooked rice within the machine warm during a long period of time. Add to this an improved system of heating functions and you will get an extraordinary unit, practically having no rivals among the similar devices used for rice cooking.
It takes no effort to get perfectly prepared brown and white rice and as a specialist in such stuff I must say it means a lot to me – saving time which I usually spent for rice cooking. The warming function of the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 rice cooker is really something worth of attention. It keeps cooked rice warm up to twelve hours and the talk is about a normal warm mode which denotes this unit can show much better results (according to the manual – up to 48 hours). Personally we have tested this regime in action for an eight-hour time period and rice stayed as warm as it was just cooked.

Another thing that comes to mind when I describe my Zojirushi’s NP-HBC10 rice cooker is that it made of very solid and high-quality materials. The pan for rice cooking is covered with the non-sticking coating and it looks unspoiled even after few weeks of everyday usage. The design is refined and compact to fit any kitchen. And as for the machine’s sides and panels they are covered with stainless steel and also impress with their quality and practical approach in design.
Usually such machines produce a lot of noise. Luckily, the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 is an exception because it operates in a very quiet way. Easy is also a good word to use when it comes to cleaning of this unit. All the parts within are made of aluminium so it is a high-end in quality of its materials rice cooker with outstanding computerized built-in options. The process of water boiling is very fast and it takes only few minutes to get cooked rice and enjoy a meal.
I will definitely recommend the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 all my friends who are into a healthy diet. This machine is very silent and easy to clean even when it comes to deep cleaning. This rice cooker is also fully computerized with few modes for cooking and keeping rice warm up to 48 hours. I think the Zojirushi’s unit deserves 5 from 5.
