Hey! So, about the Zojirushi NS-WAC18-WD rice cooker—it's pretty awesome for cooking various types of rice like sushi, brown rice, and even jasmine and basmati. This is mainly because of its fancy 'fuzzy logic' tech, which adjusts the cooking temperature and time to help you get great results.
It has a non-stick cooking pan that spreads heat evenly, which we found helps make really good rice at home. There are settings for different kinds of rice like white, brown, sushi, and even porridge. Although the control panel can be a bit tricky at first, especially for beginners, the LCD is pretty user-friendly once you get the hang of it.
Now, about keeping rice warm for days: the cooker does have a keep-warm feature that's good at maintaining temperature for several hours.
But keeping rice warm for days isn't the best idea—our research suggests that it can affect the texture and flavor. It's generally better to eat the rice within 12-24 hours if you want it to taste its best.
Some folks have mentioned that while the rice quality is impressive, the improvement over cheaper models might not be enough to convince everyone of the higher price.
Also, if you're a fan of really sticky rice, some say a pressure cooker is better for that specific texture.
If you eat rice regularly and want it to turn out consistently good, this rice cooker could be a good fit. Just remember the limitations when it comes to keeping rice warm for too long.
