Zojirushi

Zojirushi rice cookers set the standard for rice cooker technology with its micom (short for microcomputer) machines. The brand is always near the top of our rice cooker testing, and many staffers in the test kitchen swear by them. They vary in functionality, but all Zojirushi rice cookers come with a removable nonstick cooking pot, a measuring cup, and a keep-warm function. Higher-end models feature induction heating, luxe-looking stainless-steel exteriors, and specialized settings for brown rice, congee, oatmeal, multigrain blends, and more. We found deals on a range of sizes, too, from 3-cup models we’d classify as mini rice cookers to 10-cup cookers big enough to feed a family (or two).

Cuckoo

Cuckoo is a Korean rice cooker brand that has made in-roads in the American market over the past few years. Similar to Zojirushi in Japan, the brand has a loyal customer base in its home country. We’ve liked a number of Cuckoo machines in our testing, especially the more affordable models, like the CR-0655F.

Toshiba

Toshiba developed the very first automatic rice cooker in the 1950s, and they’re still in the game in 2024. Our sister brand Epicurious likes these machines for their “fuzzy logic” technology–which allows the machine to adjust during the cooking process rather than being stuck on a preset–and programmable features. They don’t score quite as highly in our test kitchen as Zojirushi, but we still give a lot of credit to the OG.

GreenPan

GreenPan (and their budget-friendly sister brand GreenLife) is all about making non-stick non-toxic. The brand introduced ceramic nonstick cookware to market, and now they make rice cookers too. The GreenPan Elite Ceramic Nonstick Induction Rice Cooker is Epi’s top pick for a Teflon-free rice cooker, and it’s on sale at a whopping 65% off today. For a more compact option that—importantly—comes in a baby pink, turn to the GreenLife Rice Cooker. (For more about Teflon coatings, read this section of our nonstick pans guide.)

Instant Pot

The brand behind the beloved Instant Pot makes a dedicated rice cooker, which is on sale right now…but did you know you can also cook rice in an Instant Pot? OK, maybe you did. But if not: Those do-it-all pieces of cookware pressure cook, sauté, slow-cook, steam, and make yogurt, and they can also cook a mean pot of rice. If you have yet to hop on the Instant Pot bandwagon, now is the time to do it. We found a deal on the “whisper quiet” Duo Plus, as well as a model that can double as an air fryer. If you’re wary about dedicating money and storage space to something with only one real use case, an Instant Pot is the answer.
