If you are asking the question where can I buy a Zojirushi NP-GBC05? Then you obviously know quite a bit about rice cookers already. This is obvious because the Zojirushi NP-GBC05 is one of their top of the range kitchen appliances. In fact it is the best 3 cup rice cooker that is sold in North America today.

You may already know that this machine features a Micom (Micro Computerized) controller as well as their Induction Heating system. In fact, it is the only 3 cup rice cooker with this feature. There is actually quite a big difference in the quality of rice that can be produced in a regular Micom vs an Induction Heating Micom machine. So if you buy a Zojirushi NP-GBC05 you will not be disappointed.

Admittedly, this cooker is not for everyone. The issue is mainly the cost. Currently the price for this machine is over $250 so it will be out of the price range of many people. But do not worry, there are still a host of different Micom rice cookers for sale closer to $100.

3 cup rice cookers like this one are great for people who live alone as well as couples and even small families. “3 cups” refers to the number of cups of un-cooked white rice that they can hold. So if you make 3 cups it is actually enough to feed up to five people. But if you have five people in your family it may be a better idea to consider the NP-HBC10 which is the 5 1/2 cup version of the NP-GBC05. The features are identical. The only difference is the capacity of the units.

With a high quality rice cooker like these ones you are able to make great tasting rice any time. The only things that you have to do are to measure out your rice into the cooking bowl, give it a wash and then add the appropriate amount of water before putting it into the rice cooker and turning it on. The Zojirushi rice cooker will then take care of the rest and prepare your food perfectly.
