I recently bought a Zojirushi SJ-JS10-XA thermos flask. Overall, it’s decent, but over a month of use it has accumulated amoeba & drink residue everywhere. How do I clean this?

I usually leave it in warm, soapy water, rinse it strongly, etc., however the lid of this flask is very complex with many nooks for grime to accumulate. I can’t find anything online about how to take it apart to wash the individual components etc. What the hell should I do?

As an example, the lid has a small pouring opening at the top. This is roughly 1cm in diameter & bends halfway through. The inner opening is tiny. The entire thing is filled with grime & I can’t fit any instrument in to clean it, nor would any small enough instrument be able to move around the bend. What am I supposed to do about this?

Many thanks for any ideas

I just went to make rice after cleaning my neuro fuzzy, and after 20 minutes i went to check on it, and it gets hot, but not hot enough to cook the rice. i reseated the plate, cleaned the heating plate, made sure ventilation was clear. nothing works, does anyone have any advice?

I'm not sure but it seems that no one else have this rice cooker model? I can't find it on their website nor I found anyone that has it in this sub. Could someone help with where can I find the replacement pot? I can't seem to find it.

I let my son take my rice cooker I’ve had since I started college in 1992 and he somehow “lost” the pot. Anyone have a 5.5 cup pot for an NRC-10 they would like to sell? I’m desperate since it’s a sentimental thing. 🤞🏻
