The Story About Zojirushi:

Zojirushi (pronounced ‘zoh-jee-ROO-shee’) began in

Japan in 1918 as a manufacturer of hand-blown

vacuum bottles. Today, Zojirushi’s product line

extends to high-end small appliances such as rice

cookers, breadmakers and coffee makers, high

quality vacuum insulated products like vacuum

bottles, lunch jars and carafes, and commercial

restaurant and coffee equipment. Recently, Zojirushi

has enhanced the focus on design and how

appliances fit into everyday lives with the

introduction of their ZUTTO® Collection and RIZO®.

The name Zojirushi means “Elephant brand” in

Japanese.

~Rice Cooker Glossary~

Capacity:

Capacity is measured in cups of raw rice in the measuring cup

that comes with the rice cooker (about 6 oz.). They yield about

double that amount of cooked rice. A 5 cup rice cooker would

be enough for a meal for a family of 4. It is ideal to cook rice to

the rice cooker’s capacity for better tasting rice.

Pressure IH: Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that

does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset

pressure. Cooking rice with pressure helps turn beta starch into

alpha starch. Raw rice is hard because beta starch is rigid.

Beta starch resists digestion by any enzyme, to protect the

seed from germinating with conditions are unfavorable. When

rice is cooked, the starch loses its rigidity, and turns into a soft

pasty alpha starch.

Nonstick

Coating: All Zojirushi rice cookers come with a nonstick coated inner

cooking pan. The nonstick coating makes serving and cleaning

easy and falls within the safety standard set by the FDA.

IH (Induction

Heating): Instead of having a heating element at the bottom of the rice

cooker to heat the inner cooking pan, the rice cooker uses

induction heating (IH) principles to generate heat within the

inner cooking pan.

Automatic

Keep

Warm:

Once the rice is cooked, the rice cooker goes into keep warm

mode to keep the rice tasting fresh until served or up to 8

hours.

Micom: The rice cooker is fitted with a microcomputer chip that adjusts

cooking time and temperature according to the menu selected.

Neuro

Fuzzy®: Neuro Fuzzy® is a Zojirushi trademark designating the most

advanced Micom (micro computerized) rice cookers.

Timer: The delay timer feature allows you to set the rice cooker to

complete cooking at a specific time. Set the rice cooker to

complete cooking when you wake up in the morning or when

you come home in the evening.

Accessories: All Zojirushi rice cookers come with a rice

measuring cup and rice spatula.
