Folks, drop everything! You're looking at the Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, the perfect gift for the home cook who makes rice every week! Oh, I can already see them tearing off the paper! Marty, how much rice? Five and a half cups, one liter! And fuzzy logic, folks, so it adjusts as it cooks. And wait till you hear the menu! White, sushi, brown, porridge, steam, and cake. Hold on. Cake, Sunny?

Cake, Penny! But wait, there's more. It keeps rice warm automatically, and it reheats! So dinner's ready whenever everyone sits down! And the power cord pulls right back inside. Oh, I want one! Okay, the cord got me. Now the catch. It's fourteen by ten point one three by eight and a half inches, and it weighs nine and a half pounds. That's not a gift, that's a houseguest! It's slow too, Marty. The blog Thai Food Paradise says sixty minutes for white rice on the standard setting, and the quick setting costs you some quality.

But that same blog calls the rice restaurant-quality! Fair. The listing says hand wash, though, and only the maker's text mentions a steaming basket, so check before you wrap it. So who should skip it, Penny? Tiny kitchens, Sunny, and anyone in a hurry. Penny, 13,873 Amazon buyers give it 4.6 stars! I'm at eight point seven! I'm at eight point zero, I just keep picturing that first bowl after it's unwrapped!

I'm at seven point one, it's big and slow. After Dark Score: seven point nine out of ten, number seven of the nine kitchen gifts we've ranked. Buy it for the weekly rice cook with counter space. See you next time, folks! The link's on our site and in the description!
