Well done!
I think the cookers needed to cook basmati are wholly different animals to those that cook Chinese to Thai type rices and most of the cheaper ones will handle those adequatly but the zojis are cleverer and cope with Indian stuff. I think I spent something like £250 to £300 each on my two.
Good luck and rice with your new baby ..... I don't know the model it looks a little basic.but I see it has fuzzy logic which I think is the main thing ... the ones we get in the UK are too expensive .....
We have these ones ...
Zoji NS-YSQ10
How did the one you want differ to the one you have?
I had been looking for the NS-TSC10 since it has a retractable power cord and a steamer basket. It also has a cake baking setting, for some reason. But when I went to Bed Bath & Beyond with my 20% off coupon, the one I got was the only Zoji they had in stock. Since it had fuzzy logic, I figured that was the most important thing. I don't really need a steamer basket or retractable cord (and don't think it's worth the extra $80 for them or the ability to bake cakes in a rice maker). And spending $80 ($100 list minus 20%) on a rice cooker feels more sober since I don't know that I'll really use it all that much anyway.
The digital display would be nice, but a friend tells me that it only counts down the last ten minutes, so seems of limited value. The rice cooker does make a nice electronic chime when it's done, but sadly it doesn't play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star like the more expensive ones do. It does have settings for white, brown, or sushi rice, or porridge. And it has a timer, which I don't think I'll ever use.
It took about an hour and 45 minutes to make 3 cups of brown rice! I'd read in the reviews that Zojis take longer to make rice (especially brown rice) than other brands. But it came out great.
