Growing up, we never had a rice cooker in the house. My mom just made rice the same way her mom taught her, using her finger to measure the rice and water. Just boil, turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. It turned out perfectly when my mom made it. That, however, was not the case for me. I could never get the measurement or the heat right. A few ruined pots were proof of my rice cooking issues (sorry unnamed sister-in-law).<\/p>\n

Several years ago I was gifted an automatic rice cooker. That was great but the rice tasted like nothing and if you left it in just a bit too long, the bottom would get overcooked and hard. Still, it was good enough. I received a Zojirushi rice cooker last month, which is known to be a very high end rice cooker. What does that even mean? Well,\u00a0let me tell you, I had no idea what I was missing this whole time!<\/p>\n

Zojirushi Umami Rice Cooker Review \u2013 Taste<\/h3>\n

The Zojirushi Umami Rice Cooker<\/a> is named after the “umami” cook setting. This setting takes about 1-1\/2 hours as it allow the rice to soak and steam longer, drawing out more flavor. Oh, man. The rice on this setting is so good! I can eat it straight (instead of with butter like I usually would) like at a restaurant. You can actually taste it!<\/p>\n

The rice stays warm for a long time and stays just as yummy. Plus, the reheat setting will allow you to make bigger batches at a time. The Umami also sings to you (this can be changed to a beep though).<\/p>\n
