The Neuro Fuzzy is the Zojirushi rice cooker people inherit. It adjusts the cooking on its own for white, brown, sushi and porridge, keeps rice warm for a day without drying it, has a delay timer so rice is ready when the day ends, and plays a little tune when it finishes. The nonstick inner pot has lasted a decade in a lot of kitchens.
It is the wedding gift for a couple who eat rice most nights, the Christmas present for a mother or grandparents who have been using a dented old cooker, and the housewarming gift for a foodie who will notice the difference in the first pot.
The 5.5 cup model makes up to about ten cups cooked, which is a family. It is white, it is not small, and it is worth the counter space. Expensive for a rice cooker and the last one they will buy.
