Common Questions

Which rice cookers have a removable inner lid for easy sink washing?

All Zojirushi models (NL-EAC18, NS-ZCC10, NS-TSC10, NP-HCC10XH, NS-LGC05XB), Cuckoo models (CR-0675F, CRP-RT0609FW), and the Tiger JKT-D10U have detachable inner lids. Entry-level budget models like the Aroma ARC-914SBD and Tiger JBV-A10U have fixed inner lids that cannot be removed.

Which Zojirushi rice cooker does NOT have a carry handle?

The flat-top Zojirushi NL-EAC10 (5.5-cup) and NL-EAC18 (10-cup) do not have a top carry handle; you lift them from underneath where four small feet sit. The NS-ZCC10, NS-TSC10, NP-HCC10XH, and NS-LGC05XB all include a fold-down carry handle.
