Zojirushi Induction Heating System Rice Cooker & Warmer NP-GBC05, 3 Cups

The model’s foremost asset is its cutting-edge Induction Heating (IH) system which, rather than relying on the traditional heat generated from the bottom of the rice cooker, utilizes induction heating principles to heat the entire inner cooking pan.

Zojirushi’s NP-GBC05 also features the healthy GABA brown rice setting as a menu option. The rice cooker activates brown rice by keeping the temperature inside the pan at about 104°F for 2 hours prior to cooking. By activating brown rice, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), one of the nutrients contained in brown rice, increases its amount 1.5 times as much as that contained in non-activated brown rice. The main function of this popular setting is to increase this nutritional value of brown rice as it is believed to lower blood pressure, improve kidney function, and relieve stress.
