The best rice cookers consistently prepare multiple varieties of rice well with the push of a button. We found two models that make exceptional rice and are also easy to use and clean. The Zojirushi 5.5-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer is our top performer, followed closely by the Toshiba 6-Cup Rice Cooker with Fuzzy Logic. They both have clearly labeled measurement lines inside their cooking bowls and audible alerts that signal when they have finished cooking and switched to their keep-warm settings. And since both machines have removable inner lids and slick nonstick-coated cooking bowls, they are a breeze to clean. The Zojirushi came out on top due to the convenient plastic handles on either side of its cooking bowl, which protected our hands from the heat when scooping cooked rice.
