There is nothing like hot fluffy rice that has just been cooked; when it's not too mushy or too firm and the natural sweetness of the rice comes through with each bite. Zojirushi rice cookers make it easy to enjoy eating perfectly steamed rice all the time, without the guesswork. When it's as simple as pushing a button, the hardest part is going to be the wait, while our cookers do all the work. All Zojirushi rice cookers are tested to function at an altitude of up to 5,000 feet above sea level
