This review is from: Zojirushi NP-HTC Induction Heating Pressure Rice Cooker & Warmer - Color: Stainless Brown, 5.5 cups / 1.0 literLet's get right to the critical question that many people checking out this rice cooker are probably asking: is the addition of pressure cooking worth $180 MORE than what this same cooker costs with induction heating only? In my opinion, no. As the owner of the 10 cup induction-heating only model, I decided to take a chance on the pressure-cooking feature when I was in the market for a smaller sized cooker. So I was able to compare them side-by-side and could not detect any difference in blind tastings of cooked rice. Both units cook rice to equal perfection. Zojirushi claims that pressure cooking converts beta starch to alpha starch, making the rice softer and easier to digest. That may be true, though I couldn't detect "softer" rice. You should also know that pressure cooking doesn't speed up the process--both machines take about the same amount of time. What pressure cooking does add is some additional and more frequent cleaning requirements, though it's still pretty simple. While much less important, I would also say that the pressure-cooking models are the nicest looking of the Zojirushi high-end cookers, which could be a consideration if you intend to leave this out on your counter. Overall, this Zojirushi does a five star job of cooking rice, but no better than the much cheaper induction-only model. So I deducted one star for value. I hope you found this review helpful in making a purchasing decision!...
