Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker - 10 Cups (NL-EAQ18)
The NL-EAQ18 is the entry-level Zojirushi: micom-controlled cooking with ten menus, in a flat-top body that wipes clean, with a self-cleaning cycle that steams out lingering odours.
It cooks from 2 cups up to 10 cups (180ml cup), suited to larger families or batch cooking. A standard White cycle takes 45–59 minutes; Quick takes 34–49 minutes and Brown 84–107 minutes. For smaller households, choose the 5.5-cup NL-EAQ10.
It has no steaming basket and is made in China. To steam a dish while the rice cooks, choose the NL-GAQ18; for a made-in-Japan micom cooker, the NS-ZAQ18.

- 1 x NL-EAQ18 Rice Cooker
- 1 x Nonstick Inner Cooking Pan (B687)
- 1 x Rice Spatula

Key Features
- Micom: Zojirushi's term for microcomputer control: the cooker senses temperature through the cycle and adjusts heating and timing on its own.
- 10 Menus: White, Quick, Short Grain White, Mixed, Sushi, Congee, Sweet, Brown, Multi Grain and Cake.
- Keep Warm & Reheat: Regular Keep Warm up to 12 hours, a lower-temperature Extended Keep Warm that reduces drying and yellowing, and a 7–9 minute Reheat.
- Two Preset Timers: Set the time you want rice ready for White, Short Grain White, Sushi, Congee and Brown.
- Self-Cleaning: A 60-minute steam cycle that reduces cooking odours in the lid and body.

User Guide
Good to know before you buy: warranty, size and heating
- Warranty: 12-month manufacturer's warranty. If anything goes wrong, contact us first — we lodge the claim, and Tiger's or Zojirushi's authorised Australian service centre carries out the repair and contacts you directly.
- Australian models: All rice cookers we stock are Australian 240V models — not grey imports.
- Size: Capacity is in cups of uncooked rice, using the 180 ml rice cup in the box — not a 250 ml metric cup. 3 cups suits singles and couples, 5.5 cups a household of 3–5, and 10 cups larger families or batch cooking.
- Heating: Base-heat models are simple and affordable. Induction (IH) heats the whole pot evenly for noticeably better rice. IH pressure gives the softest, sweetest rice and handles brown rice best. Not sure which? Read Induction vs conventional rice cookers.
- Spare parts: We stock replacement inner pots for every rice cooker we sell.
