I have that same rice cooker. Zojirushi. It’s pretty solid, so I’d bet whatever fancy crap it uses to tell if it’s properly cooked probably helped the way his stuff turned out

[-] treesapx@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.

I think they sense the temperature of the metal, so after it plateaus at boiling point it knows when all the water is absorbed because the temperature starts rising again.

You know it's a premium rice cooker when the alarm sound is a music jingle. My microwave wishes it were that sophisticated.

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Had to replace the microwave recently after the last one crapped out. This new one also has a jingle. Why does every machine need a jingle now? The dryer has a jingle. It’s not even that fancy.

Are these all Japanese products? I find that the Japanese love a little jingle for some reason

[-] Zorg 4 points 2 days ago

Specifically choose our microwave because it can be muted. No unnecessary beeping or jingle is so much better.

Most microwaves can be silenced. I figured out how to shut mine up but several hours later my roommate unmuted it, I guess some people like the obnoxious noises.

i mean, i can distinguish between the different beeps on the different machines but maybe giving different machines different jingles helps people who can't

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

You know it's premium because it costs hundreds of dollars instead of $20...

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Zojirushi makes decent stuff - at least the couple items I have from them have been working well for the time I’ve had them.

They make a variety of excellent table top cooking appliances. My wife is Japanese and recommended this rice cooker to me when we started dating. That same rice cooker is still going strong I purchased it in 2006.

I recently was curious about them and did a search to see if there was any newer model or upgrades... still the exact same model and almost the same price is considered one of the best models by multiple reviewers.

That thing is seriously built to last! My wife and I have now named the cooker "Zojirushi sama" as a reward for still making amazing rice 20 years later even after almost daily use.

We also have one of their auto nabe cookers which is going on 15 years old.
