I have the 10 cup neuro fuzzy logic Zojirushi, model#NS-ZCC18. I love this stupid thing. I was in the "I have a stove and a pot, what's the point" camp for a long time and then I got a gluten intolerance and starting eating enough rice to get tired of the finicky timing. I now use my rice cooker for steel cut oats with apples & raisins, white, jasmine, sushi, sweet, brown of all sorts, rice pudding. I'll cook the rice with a can of seasoned tomatoes an have a good base to toss on fresh chopped spinach and chicken... it's been my go-to appliance for the last year. This model isn't cheap, but the timer, different settings for porridge, etc, removable pot AND interior lid not to mention the silly tunes it plays when it goes on or off make me happy to have it! We are a family of four and could get by with the smaller 5 cup, but we entertain and the 10 cup gets used often enough for the small price/size increase.
