If I did not have a rice cooker already I would use my knowledge of these products to pick the best one for my needs. I am specifically interested in single serving, small machines because I live alone and I want to save the use of a free standing electric cookers. This means that a 3 cup rice cooker is the perfect size for me. There are plenty of rice cooker reviews that I have looked at online so I know that the best machines are those made by Japanese electronics manufacturers. That said, there are actually quite a few different brands that are on sale in North America today. Is one better than the rest? It really all depends upon what you are looking for in a rice cooker. Despite what you may think each brand offers something unique.

Now I want to talk specifically about the top selling stainless steel rice cooker in America today. This is the Zojirushi NS-LAC05. It is a very reasonably priced 3 cup device. This is actually the smallest sized machine you can get. The other sizes are 5 1/2 cup and 10 cup. It really depends upon your own living situation as to which size of machine is best for you. If you have a family then perhaps this is not the one you want. However for people living alone or staying with a partner, this could well be just what you need.
The NS-LAC05 has a non-stick cooking pot that has a rounded bottom. The non-stick coating means that the rice you cook will be edible. Without this, it would be much more likely for rice to stick and possibly burn. The rounded bottom helps with heat distribution. Therefore the rice should be cooked more evenly. The removable inner lid helps with cleaning up. You should wait for both the lid and pot to cook down thoroughly before you remove them. You can actually wipe out the cooking bowl with a dry cloth to remove any remaining debris prior to washing it. The Zojirushi NS-LAC05 is a reasonably priced, high quality rice cooker which is the primary reason for its success.
