The Zojirushi NP-HCC10 is a Stainless Dark Gray induction-heating rice cooker and warmer with a maximum uncooked white-rice capacity of 5.5 supplied rice cups, or 1.0 liter. Its IH system heats the inner cooking pan, while bottom, side and lid heating surround the rice. It is a household-use model with limited similar applications described in the manual.

White, quick white and Jasmine batches range from 0.5 to 5.5 rice cups. Sushi rice starts at 1 cup, and mixed, sweet, brown, GABA Brown and porridge use separate limits. Measure raw rice with the supplied approximately 180 mL cup and follow the selected menu’s water line; the maximum rating is not a cooked yield or serving count.

Choose regular, softer or harder white rice, or use the dedicated Jasmine, sushi, porridge, sweet, brown and GABA Brown settings. GABA Brown adds an approximately two-hour activation stage before cooking. The orange LCD panel has a clock, two finish-time memories for eligible rice menus and selectable melody, beep or silent completion signals.

A clear-coated stainless steel exterior surrounds the black, thick spherical nonstick inner pan. The stainless steel inner lid detaches for washing, and a carrying handle and spatula holder are provided. Protect the pan coating by using suitable utensils, adding sushi vinegar outside the pan and hand-washing after use.

Cooking automatically changes to Regular Keep Warm. The manual limits Regular Keep Warm to 12 hours and Extended Keep Warm to 24 hours for eligible rice. Extended is unavailable for mixed, porridge, sweet, brown and GABA Brown menus and returns to Regular 24 hours after cooking finishes. Do not use Keep Warm to reheat cold rice or hold rice containing added ingredients or seasonings.

The NP-HCC10 requires AC 120V, 60Hz power and is rated at 1,230W for cooking, with a supplied 1.0-meter cord. Approximate dimensions are 10 inches wide by 14 inches deep by 8 inches high; allow 15-3/4 inches for the open lid as well as room for steam and ventilation. Zojirushi lists cETLus certification and manufacture in Japan. Loosen rice within 10 minutes of completion and allow at least 40 minutes of cooling before another batch.
