Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker - 10 Cups (NS-ZAQ18)

The Zojirushi NS-ZAQ18 features advanced Neuro Fuzzy logic that 'thinks' for itself, automatically adjusting cooking time and temperature for consistent, perfect rice every time. With a generous 10-cup capacity, it’s ideal for larger families and entertaining, handling everything from white and sushi rice to brown rice and porridge with ease.

The classic egg-shaped body—a signature Zojirushi design—helps distribute heat evenly, while practical features like a retractable power cord and fold-down handle make for simple storage.

Good to Know

All rice cookers we stock are Australian 240V models sold with local warranty — not grey imports.

Size: capacity is measured in cups of uncooked rice. A 1-cup or 3-cup cooker suits singles and couples, a 5.5-cup feeds a household of 3–5, and a 10-cup suits larger families or batch cooking.

Heating: base-heat models are simple and affordable, induction (IH) heats more evenly for noticeably better rice, and IH pressure models are the top tier — softer, sweeter rice and better brown rice. Not sure which? Read Induction vs conventional rice cookers.
