Zojirushi Multi Cooker

[lindag]

Zojirushi has just come out with a multi cooker.

However, it appears to have some problems.

Looking forward to seeing this product when they've ironed out the kinks.

See Amazon reviews, lots of issues.  Made in Chine.

The bad reviews are surprising.  Their stuff is usually highly rated.  I have one of their rice cookers and a bread machine and love them both.

Agreed.  Same here.

On Amazon.ca 80% of the ratings are 4 and 5 stars. Criticism mostly seems to revolve around its relatively low power.

 

I have to say, it feels weird to see a self-described multi-cooker that doesn't pressure cook. It's been a while.

Well "dud" is a lot easier to pronounce than "Zojirushi"

While I'm usually a very big fan of any of the Zo products I would pass on this one because

#1  Too large, I'd prefer a smaller size, probably around 4-qt.

#2   According to reviews it is underpowered, unforgiveable when it can't steam efficiently

#3  Pot interior is not non-stick.

#4   Cannot pressure cook (a multi cooker that can't pressure cook?)

#5 There is a better product that does what this one does at a lot  less cost..  (and I already own it Cuisinart (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) and it is perfection in a slow cooker.)

Mistake #1 - manufacturing in China.

 

I have a Zo rice cooker, made in Japan.  5 years strong and the thing still pumps out some of the best rice you could ask for.
