Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, 10 Cups/1.8-Liters

The NL-AAC18 Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer, equipped with advanced micro computerized fuzzy logic technology, ensures perfect rice every time. Alongside its exceptional rice-cooking abilities, this versatile appliance also comes with a steaming basket, allowing it to double as a steamer.

This 10-cup rice cooker and warmer can prepare up to 20 cups of cooked rice, offering a variety of cooking functions, including white rice/sushi, mixed rice, porridge, sweet, brown, steam, and quick cooking. The unit features a black thick inner cooking pan that provides even heating for better cooking results and an interchangeable melody and beep signal to indicate when the cooking cycle has ended.

Other notable features include a detachable and washable inner lid, an easy-to-read LCD control panel, automatic keep warm, extended keep warm and reheating cycle, delay timer with two settings, and a detachable power cord for easy storage. The dent-resistant plastic body is also easy to clean. Accessories such as a spatula, a spatula holder, and a rice-measuring cup are included.

Measuring 11-7/8 by 15-3/4 by 10 inches and with an 820-watt rating, this rice cooker and warmer is designed to cater to various rice cooking needs. The "brown rice" menu setting, for instance, extends the preheating time to allow for better absorption of water, and cooks at a lower temperature to ensure the rice is cooked thoroughly without becoming mushy.

The "sushi rice" setting, on the other hand, uses less water (as indicated by the water fill lines) to produce a firmer texture, as sushi rice is typically processed after cooking. The "mixed rice" setting extends the preheating time for better absorption of seasonings, and uses a slightly lower cooking temperature to prevent the ingredients from boiling over.

For porridge, the cooker uses a lower cooking temperature and a longer cooking time to achieve a soft, fluffy texture, without the risk of making the porridge too watery. The steaming function can be adjusted to suit the user's preference, allowing for customized cooking times.

The advanced microcomputer technology (MICOM) powering this rice cooker is a game-changer, transforming rice from an "occasional" to a "serious" menu item. The microchip automatically adjusts cooking times and temperatures based on the type of rice being cooked, ensuring optimal results every time.

In summary, the NL-AAC18 Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer is a versatile and technologically advanced appliance that delivers consistently delicious rice and provides a variety of cooking options, making it a must-have for any avid rice enthusiast.
