Zojirushi NL-EAC10WA Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer

“I found out I was intolerant to wheat a few months ago, and I was struggling to get dinner made every night without pasta, bread, etc. Enter, my manic pixie dream rice maker! She is literal perfection. She sings silly songs. She makes PERFECT grains. She follows directions to a T and is basically my sister wife at this point.”

“This appliance has changed by life for the better in so many ways. We're essentially in a relationship at this point! Let me tell you all the things she does for me. I prep steel cut oats the night before, then I set the little timer and let them cook for me! I like doing a mix of oats, flax seeds and chia seeds (just add a little extra water to compensate). After they've cooked I put a splash of milk, some maple syrup, cut-up fruit and cinnamon. Damn. I prep grains for our family dinners 2-3x a week. I love that I can do this on the fly, or in the morning before I leave for work and I can just set the timer. Having a machine that is so responsive and flexible AND cooks everything beautifully really feels like I have a personal assistant. There are other things I haven't tried, like baking a cake (WAHT), reheating rice, and making congee, and I will report back when I try.”
