Review: Fantastic Luxury, be sure to pick the right size - This is my first review and I'm writing it in case it helps anyone out there similar to me ... so first a little background: I recently decided to change up my diet - I had been on a mostly wild salmon / some-type-of-vegetable diet. I weight train a bit so I've tried to keep my protein high and carbs low, but I decided to totally shake it up after reading a lot of research on vascular health. Despite my carb / low protein fears, I switched to a more/less vegan diet: grains & legumes for fats/protein + vegetables - zero added fat of any type, zero animal protein including dairy and whey protein powder. Well, some surprising things happened within 1 week: I lost some of my stubborn belly flab! No amount of cardio, diet, lifting has made a budge in that for 10 years, but this mostly carb diet did! Bro-trition did NOT predict that. But there was a problem, and so on with this review: cooking steel cut oats, spelt, barley, brown rice and other grains just for 1 day's meal is a real pain in the butt. Sure you can make extra ahead of time but that's not very tasty re-heated, at least for me. And, yes, you can use a slow cooker for steel-cut oatmeal, but that also has mixed results. I began researching solutions and came across rice cookers ... a dedicated appliance just for rice? really? and, holy crap HOW MUCH? I skipped it and kept on with my pots and pans ... But I couldn't shake the notion that as odd as it sounded, a dedicated appliance might actually make sense, mostly because a few years ago I bought a Zoji hot water thermos Zojirushi America Corporation CV-DCC40XT VE Hybrid Water Boiler and Warmer, 4-Liter, Stainless Dark Brown which also seemed ridiculous but has turned out to be a real luxury ... that's another story. So I did a lot of rice cooker research: Zoji, tiger, cuckoo ... and I researched all of the features: size, fuzzy logic, timers, modes, heat type, pressure, clean up, et al. With all of that I settled on this one because I've had a good Zoji experience, I like the looks the best, and I couldn't find any data showing that other brands with more features were marginally better for my needs. However, I did struggle with which size ... if you buy from other retailers, I found the next size up for $10 more once you adjust for no taxes. I decided to go with desertcart and this size but it felt like a mistake. Ok, so with that, and adding that I have zero other rice cooker experience, here's my 2 cents review: LOOKS: As others have mentioned, it's very dark brown trim over a slightly tinted stainless. It more/less matches all my other stainless stuff and looks great, so unless you're particular about an exact match I'd say it'll fit in with just about any decor. SIZE: I mostly use this for just me, but it could easily work for 2 people and probably 4, but that's probably a stretch; so if you routinely cook for more than 3 people I'd go with the size up. If you're usually cooking for 3 people or less and want the counter space get this one - it's a great size and I only use about 1/3 of it's capacity on a per-meal basis ... having the larger one would really bug me, so I'm glad I got this size. FUNCTIONS: As others have mentioned it's about as easy as it gets: dump in the grain, dump in the water/broth (and mix-ins) and go. I use either 1/2 or 1 zoji cup per meal. I don't eat white rice, but I use the mixed setting for quinoa, freekeh, barley, etc and the porridge setting for steel-cut oats. I've tried using most of the modes and broadly they don't seem to make much difference, but the modes above work best for the grains listed. I love the GABA rice feature ... I don't know if GABA helps me, but I use it daily as a hacked timer: if you want hot food in 3 hours, dump-n-go, when you return hot stuff. Speaking of the timer - 2 timers! perfect for my weekday/weekend oatmeal. FOOD: Many have mentioned ... this thing makes some killer grains! No comparison to my stove-top technique. Not only does it make the cooking easy, the food comes out PERFECT. and every time. I use this thing about 4-5 times/day, and it's perfect every time. Some examples: * Steel-cut oats - the night before I dump in 1 zoji cup of oats, 1 cup of water, some cinnamon and it's perfect. I also put a tbs of fresh ground flax over the top and yeah I like it a bit thicker and am off dairy so no milk ... but I did try oat milk both before and after. I guess I'm a traditionalist but I like just water best. The oatmeal is perfect, and really the best oatmeal I've had as with all the other grains I've tried. * Freekeh, wheat berries, barley, etc: half-zoji-cup of freekeh, 1 zoji cup of veg broth, some soy sauce, a bunch of fresh or dried shitakes - perfect! * Spanish Rice: 1 zoji cup of brown rice, 1 zoji cup of hot salsa, 1 zoji cup of water - perfect! SUMMARY: If you cook grains often, it's a game-changer. Yes, it's also an expensive luxury, but it's such a daily (hourly) luxury that it makes it actually cheap given the usefulness. It's very simple to use, easy to clean, and makes perfect food. and,oh, who would've thought one could lose fat by going all carb??? Dreams do come true.
Review: Quality, well tasting rice at a price. Best for small households. - Expensive, yes, but its a high quality item that is made in Japan and cooks rice quite well. I recommend adding more water than what the manual tells you to. If you're a family of four it may be too small for you, however. It is great for just the wife and I.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone cooked steel cut oats?  If so, how did it turn out?**
A: I make steel cut oats several times a week and it comes out perfect. I use a 1:4 ratio of oats to water, usually 1/2 cup of oats in the Zojirushi measuring cup, on the porridge setting. Some water will boil over so I fold a paper towel and put in under the rear edge of the top vent where it catches most of the water. Cooking more than 1/2 cups oats at a time might result in much more boil over. Recently tried a 1:3 ratio and oats seem just as good with much less boil over.

**Q: where is made**
A: This brand has their products made in Japan and made in China.  If it is made in Japan, it will be shown on the lid of the rice cooker.  Those made in China are priced lower.

**Q: Does anyone know what the non-stick material is made of? Trying to avoid toxics like some non-stick. Thank you!**
A: The coating, PTFE, is Teflon. Teflon is a brand name of PTFE.  It's toxic if ingested or if inhaled.  If you are avoiding toxic materials, this is probably the kind of thing you don't want to ingest, and as someone said, the problem of ingesting arises if the surface material chips or peels and falls into the food. Some reviewers have posted here that this has happened. I pay attention to this because i don't want to ingest teflon. I started using one of these about 5 months ago. During the first month or so, i accidentally hit the upper rim lightly with the plastic rim of my Dishmaster brush that i use when for washing dishes. It's not a harsh dish washing tool, it's a brush, but the plastic rim accidentally lightly hit the rice cooker bowl. The surface material chipped. There is now a very tiny hole in it. I kept an eye on it after that and did not see any spreading of the chip and i have no reason to think material is falling into my food--again the chip is on the upper rim of the bowl, which isn't near the food. But i was struck by how easy it was to chip the material. I try to be careful, but i can't say for sure i will never accidentally hit it against the faucet or something like that and chip it again. I have read comments by some reviewers saying that after a period of time, the material begins coming off even if not accidentally hit and broken, it just wears out. This does not happen to many reviewers who report using the cooker for a long time without any change in the material surface.  I love the rice cooker, it's very easy to use and extremely easy to clean. So if i did chip the bowl badly enough for teflon to get into my food, i'd buy a new bowl, even though they are expensive. But if the material starts wearing off on its own, i would  probably stop using it. I just keep a close eye on it when washing it.

**Q: How does this model differ from Zojirushi NS-LAC05XT which is also 3 cup and approx $100 less?**
A: 1) The NP-GBC05 has induction cooking. 2) The NP-GBC05 is made in Japan while the other 3 cup units from Zojirushi are not made in Japan. (China?)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality, well tasting rice at a price. Best for small households.
*by P***N on January 7, 2026*

Expensive, yes, but its a high quality item that is made in Japan and cooks rice quite well. I recommend adding more water than what the manual tells you to. If you're a family of four it may be too small for you, however. It is great for just the wife and I.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brown rice worth the price
*by N***T on October 27, 2025*

I had the basic frumpy Zoji NS-KCC05 that I got as a hand-me-down around 20 years ago. Worked fine and still does, but the coating started flecking off the pan and the internal battery died so it was time for an upgrade. I got the NP-GBC05XT because it has a brown rice setting, has 3 cup capacity, and looks good. The first batch of brown rice was superb with no learning curve. Plump individual grains, a bit chewy and not mushy. Perfect. Long grain white rice was also excellent. I tried the GABA setting on brown rice. It takes twice as long and the cooked rice was identical to the regular brown rice, but if there's any chance of lowering my cholesterol I'll take it. I like the brown tones of the exterior. I can leave it out on the counter and it matches my Zoji boiler. Hope it lasts 20 years like the old one.
