If you want the best small rice cooker for sale in North America then you should buy a Zojirushi NP-GBC05 unit. It is the most expensive 3 cup rice cooker but this is not what makes it the best, rather it is because it is the best that is is expensive.

Zojirushi are a popular choice when it comes to buying rice cookers in Japan. These days they are aggressively targeting the U.S. and Canadian market too. This is a good thing because it allows people living outside Japan, for the first time, to get their hands on some of the best the Japanese electronics industry has to offer. The other company that has a variety of their products for sale here is Sanyo. In my opinion, these are the two brands that you want to consider, simply because they have a fairly large selection to choose from and they make top quality machines.

The Zojirushi NP-GBC05 in particular is very impressive. It is the only 3 cup rice cooker that makes use of their Induction Heating system. Other larger machines like the NP-HBC10 and NP-HBC18 also have it. The way this system works is by creating a magnetic field within the rice cooker. There is no heating element. Instead, the magnetic field makes the inner cooking bowl become instantly hot. Also because the cooking bowl acts as the heat source, every grain of rice should be cooked to perfection.

On top of this nice system, there are a lot of different cooking settings. If you would prefer your rice to have more or less bite, you can select which you would prefer. Also, for the health conscious, with this machine, you can turn regular brown rice into GABA brown rice. This is supposed to be easier to digest and have more nutrients to ward off illness.
