I bought this today:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...ance&s=kitchen
I got it at a little Asian Grocery story in the city. I had been torturing myself thinking about buying it for a while now, and finally just put myself out of my misery and did it. It is a Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker, and is more beautiful than any kitchen appliance out to be
And no, my husband will never know how much this sucker cost, I will take that secret to my grave!
It is a bit intimidating, I have to say. It has a little computer chip in it that "thinks" about how much to cook your rice depeding on all the different variables (water, rice type, humidity level that day--I kid you not). It has lots of buttons on it and I read the instruction booklet a dozen times. I finally figured out how to get it going.
I made a good sized batch of CalRose Japanese medium grain tonight, and my kids loved it so much! they all ate two bowls full (with chopsticks no less) with our beef stirfry. It was perfect. I was actually nervous when I first opened it (it chimes out with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" when it is done) to check the rice, but it was *perfect*.
It is suppose to be GREAT at cooking brown rice too-- I will try that tomorrow!
Just wanted to share!
Hugs,
Lisa

I changed the link because this is the one that I have! The ZAC-18 Neuro fuzzy is essentially the same thing, for anyone that is interested.
