Any recommendations, what tech is worth it and not, what brands to look at?
Should we just buy the most expensive Zojirushi we can? Are the better features/tech even worth it or will any of them cook rice well enough?
Their 'best' one at $750 is too expensive if some of their models at about 1/3 of the price do just about the same thing.
We usually eat white jasmine, basmati or brown long grain rice, if that matters at all. Occasionally we'll cook (Japanese) short or sushi rice, but that's less frequent.
