I'm looking to get my first rice cooker. I generally cook rice 2-3 times a week for meal prep, may switch to once and do it in bulk, which is usually a long grain rice. Then once every week or two making sushi rice to make sushi. I used to make more brown rice more often then a white long grain rice.

I'd like to stick below $300 but open to going above if it's really worth it. The two i've been seeing pop up the most are the NL-EAC10 and the NS-ZCC10. I live by myself so 5.5cups is plenty.

i picked up a working NS-KCC05 rice cooker from the thrift recently, but the inner pan's teflon lining is really beat up and id like to replace it. it's a pretty old model so of course zojirushi doesn't sell any replacement parts and none of the third party options claim to fit the model. however looking on the official replacement parts website, it seems like they may use the same pot across models in the same series (e.g. NS-LAC05/NS-LGC95/NS-LHC05 inner pots all look identical) and just change the part number. so i was wondering if anyone could share measurements of any pots that came with a 3 cup NS- machine, especially:

• B250
• 8-NSL-P220
• B482-6B

looking for height, outer diameter (outside edge of the top lip) and inner diameter (pot body), cm preferred but we can always do some math :)

Hihi !! I was just wondering if anybody knew if it was safe to put stickers (the waterproof kind meant for water bottles) on the outside of my zojirushi rice cooker, provided I don't cover up the vent or hinges or anything. I'm kind of attached to him and I want to make him cute haha. Thanks!

Hi,

I have had my Zojirushi NS-YSQ10 for a good while now. Even though it has a slow cooker function, I've never used since I heard a claim saying that when cooking other stuff than rice in a rice cooker (let's say a flavourful gulasch), there is a risk of lingering smell of said dish remaining that could affect the taste of rice cooked afterwards.

To those of you that have used the slow cooker function, made one pot style rice meals etc, is there any truth in the "smell might linger" claim?
