Zojirushi

Fantastic doesn’t begin to describe it

I purchased this grill cause of other positive reviews, and after 11 years my T-Fal grill blew my plug and never worked again…so i decided i would get this. I must say i was worried if Zojirushi EB-CC15 Indoor Grill would meet my expectations cause i was worried about the plastic base, but let me tell you this grill is awsome, got it this morning and cook steaks, wow, taste like the steak you would get in a restaurant….cooks well, and clean up is a breeze, the grill you cook on is non stick when you wash it, it cleans so easy…i highly recommend it, although some folks might like the plastic base it is sturdy. I love it. I’ve really taken this grill out for a spin, cooking everything from salmon, steak, ham, burgers, portabello mushrooms and various other vegetables and kabobs. It cooks much faster than I expected, and leaves really great grill marks. I’m not kidding here, they’re tasty! It is completely smokeless as others have said because the heating elements are completely covered by the grill bars, so any oil or other drippings never get a chance to hit them. Most of the juice stays in the meat anyway; I’ve only had a few drips in the tray, and that was marinade.

This machine has made one Gluten Free Baker Happy

I just had the first slice (ok, two slices!) made in my new Zojirushi that I got for Christmas! I picked this machine because Zojirushi BBCCX20 Bread Machinewas supposed to be good for gluten free bread due to its programmability. Well, I’m happy to report that the bread turned out very well. The machine has a horizontally oriented bread pan instead of vertical, more like an actual oven, and two little mixing paddles in the pan instead of one. The two paddle thing results in a slightly bumpy top (two slightly raised circles on the top) but I think i could smooth that out if i was so inclined after the mixing cycle before the raising cycle. Also doesn’t matter at all since you slice the bread. Nice flakey crust, too! I was able to completely customize the baking cycle using the homemade cycle, and had it just raise one time with no beating down phase. (the typical beating down periods of most machines are hard on gluten free breads and discourages them from rising.) I set it for 20 min. warming, one kneading period of 13 minutes, one rising of 1 hour, baking for 1 hour and then no warming afterwards. I made Bette Hagman’s basic white featherlight bread, and I liked both the recipe and the machine. So, yay! I would recommend this machine. The only negative is that it is large and takes up a fair amount of horizontal space on the counter. I’m so glad to have a bread machine again! We sold ours when we moved to Japan over three years ago… it’s been too long!

Perfect rice plus oatmeal each time

This goods rates five stars because it does how it is assumed to: turn out flawlessly cooked rice while as a consequence although you desire Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 cooker, every rhythm you usefulness it. The non-stick bowl is effortless until clean, as a consequence the secret lid, even though not non-stick, in the manner of least pops out facilely as a consequence gets clean up with a little bend grease, although i would very advise spraying it with non-stick atomizer sooner than cooking anything at all sticky (like oatmeal). I desire say, however, because after reading the reviews here i was expecting the rice the cooker produced until be a revelation. And, inner fact, the rice the cooker makes tastes… likely rice. Exactly the selfsame while correctly cooked rice upon the fireplace top. It’s because “properly cooked” part because is the belle of using a rice maker. No more forgetting the rice is upon the fireplace as a consequence boiling the wet out or getting the timing wrong. With a rice cooker you total the desired number of rice, the appropriate sum of wet for the type of rice as a consequence the texture you want, depress a frog as a consequence you come to unblemished rice outside always having until agitate concerning it overcooking. When the wet is gone the gang switches automatically until “keep warm” way as a consequence desire hold the rice flawlessly gracious as a consequence downy for hours. Or you john reheat it if you poverty it just-finished hot. You john come to the selfsame safety region via baking your rice inner the oven, but how a splurge of energy. A rice gang takes along less infinite distance than a cusine processor, doesn’t heat along the kitchen as a consequence uses remote less engergy than the oven. So it’s a worthy investment if you likely rice. The physical inquiry is either you poverty until give the extra c-spot until come to a neuro fuzzy cooker.
