Panasonic SR-ZC075K 4-Cups (Uncooked) Rice Cooker & Multi-Cooker, White

Perfect size and available functions

My new Panasonic Rice Cooker is just what I needed. It is a Christmas present and I know the person receiving this gift will be thrilled!!

The media could not be loaded. Small, compact and cute in the way you like.

Yogurt, rice both fluffy and void of vessel flavor. Ordinary cake is moist and Asian style, so this isn't a birthday cake machine, this is a small dessert/coffee cake. The machine is quiet, and remember that different quantities cook for different durations. and it's a good idea to cook well ahead of time, since the machine has a warming mode. The vessel can be washed, but an element that snaps in and out needs a wipe down. So, maintenance is almost care free.

Sometimes I’ll pop a chicken breast in this on the keep warm setting and it acts as a slow cooker. It brings it up to a safe temp, it’s not uncontrolled heat. I’m a traveler in healthcare so I use this on the go. Sad to see the mentions of the locking mechanism breaking on it. I can def see it happening. The metal pot inside the machine is very high quality and hefty. Overall I think I overpaid, but I do like the unit.

I purchased to make oatmeal and it works fantastic. Sure beats cooking on stove and the instant oatmeal is just too bland done 3 mins in a microwave. Put oatmeal in this, 30 minutes later fantastic. Can start at anytime and once cooks goes to keep warm mode. Very quiet. Can increase or decrease water to how thick you want it to come out. Cleanup was easy.....

I've had this rice cooker for a couple of years and the entire time I have owned it, the latch caused problems. The little handle would pop out and the compression spring would fall out. I would put it back together each time and then it would be OK. I finally lost the spring down the garbage disposal and tried contacting customer support to get a new spring and they were completely unhelpful - Panasonic's customer support couldn't provide me with a service manual or a part number. They told me to try going to Home Depot. Panasonic usually makes good products, unfortunately this one is a turd.

Useful!!! Just the cooking time for white rice is too long, actually only need half of the cooking time the white rice can be done with a juicy chewy rice. Love the keep warm choice and easy to carry.
