The NS-TSQ18 has multi-menu selections which uses Micom (micro-computerised) Fuzzy logic technology to control the temperature for the efficient cooking of many different types of rice including white, sushi, porridge and brown rice. There is also a quick cooking feature on this model. The micro computer chip inside the NS-TSQ18 automatically makes adjustments to temperature and heating time – it ensures perfect rice every time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. Zojirushi rice cooker are factory made for UK and European 220-240V, 50Hz power supply.
No. USA units are not compatible with UK and European power supply (they are 110V and 60Hz) and you would need to purchase a bulky and expensive transformer to convert the voltage so you could use it. Transformers for stepping up voltage take up a lot of electricity when converting voltage, are bulky and don’t convert the cyclical electricity frequency of an appliance (ie they don’t convert from 60Hz to 50Hz). We have had several customers who have tried to use US rice cookers with a voltage converter and they do not work or broke within 6 months.
Japanese models are confusing as they are available in both 110V and 240V power ratings. Please take care if going this route.
Yes. The display and menu is in English and the supplied manual is also in English.
Note that there are no other language options are available for the manual.

Zojirushi rice cookers have lithium batteries that are used only for retaining timer and cooking memory for if there is a power interruption. The batteries have an estimated lifespan of around 5-10 years depending on use.
These batteries are not essential to the operation of the rice cookers but can be replaced only at authorised Zojirushi service centres if you feel you need to have it replaced. After warranty you would need to contact one of these centres if you wish the battery to be replaced.Â
We have no plans at all to sell Zojirushi Induction Heating models because the Zojirushi IH models for 220-240V power haven’t passed any CE safety tests for use in the UK or Europe so they therefore cannot be legally supplied within the UK or Europe, so this is why we do not supply them. Not only is there a voltage difference but there is a difference in the frequency of electricity used. The Zojirushi IH models are also very, very expensive to purchase (around £150-200 more than our conventional rice cooker models).
We do have our own branded Induction Heating rice cookers, Fuji YUM-IH07 and Bamboo YUM-IH15/2/B. These are the first IH rice cooker to be made for the UK and Europe. It has many unique rice cooking features which Yum Asia developed using our rice cooker/cooking expertise.

Philip Suchard (UK) –
This rice cooker is perfect for my family. We have two teenage children and the amount of rice cooked is enough to give us all a good feed. The steamer cooks our vegetables really well at the same time and makes them crunchy perfect and retains their flavour. We have been eating rice every other day for the past 2 years and we have all noticed the health benefits from our change in diet. That alone is worth the price of this beautiful machine which takes away all the faffing around with saucepan cooked rice. Next to try is the cake baking feature. Highly recommend this to rice eaters and healthy eaters everywhere.

Totally stunning piece of kit, worth every cent! We (family of four) have been making do with a garden variety rice cooker for years but were never truly happy with the outcome so only used it say once a week. Boy oh boy, does this machine make a difference! The rice is perfect every time (nice & fluffy, ‘standing up’ as they apparently say in Japan). Steamer, timer function, porridge, it all just works as it says on the box. In hindsight could have opted for the smaller version (NS-TSQ10) but since we now tend to eat double the amount of rice per serving -and- use it up to four times a week (yes, it’s that good!), the additional capacity is put to good use :-). One tip: now that you’ve sunk half your family’s annual GDP into this machine, please go out and buy ‘proper’ rice. It’s so worth it!

J’ai reçu hier mon rice cooker zojirushi, il est parfait et le riz testé était délicieux ! La livraison a été rapide et le prix même avec les frais bancaires du paiement en Angleterre depuis la France était plus avantageux que d’autres sites français !
