The Zojirushi NHS-06 3-Cup Rice Cooker is an excellent choice for singles or couples that do not often need large portions of rice prepared and want an easy alternative for serving rice at home on a regular or occasional basis. Priced affordably for those who want the convenience of rice preparation without spending an arm and a leg for a high tech rice cooker, the Zojirushi rice cooker still offers a few extra features to help make preparing dinner a bit easier. For instance, the built in warming function can still come in use on days when meal times are split.
Small and light at only three pounds, the Zojirushi rice cooker is short and squat making it easy to place the circular rice cooker just about anywhere on the countertop for easy storage and use. The handles are also nice for moving the vessel so that dinner can be served straight from the rice cooker eliminating the need to dirty a separate dish.
