Zojirushi’s Micom’s advanced fuzzy logic technology enables the rice cooker cook different types of grains to perfection in every use. This model’s specific 3 cup capacity is ideal for couples or smaller households, allowing a minimum of ½ cup of rice to be cooked. The versatile menu this compact rice cooker offers include GABA Brown settings and a convenient Jasmine White Rice setting. The Brown Rice Activation (or GABA Brown Setting) refers not to a different variety of brown rice, but rather, a relatively new discovered way of cooking it in order to reap the health benefits that is believed to be the outcome. The GABA setting, when activated, keeps the temperature inside the pan at about 104°F for 2 for soaking the rice hours before the actual cooking begins. Throughout this process, GABA (shorter for gamma-aminobutyric acid) is increased up to 1.5 times as much as that contained in non-activated brown rice and is said to lower blood pressure, improve kidney function, and relieve stress. The model also comes with the Jasmine White setting, a function that sets the cooking flow precisely to accommodate Jasmine rice grains which cook differently when compared with short or medium grain white rice and results with flavorful Jasmine rice.
