Before I tell you about how Sanyo ECJ-N55 rice cooker performed in my entire rice cooker reviews and testing, I cook rice almost everyday, and what I’m looking for is a rice cooker that is easy to operate and extremely easy to clean. Well, Sanyo rice cooker perform extremely well in this two areas.
Cook Illustrated Rice Cooker Review
When I first pick up Sanyo Rice Cooker ECJ-N55, its have mention in couple places and received tremendous good review from cook illustrated. So I decided to give it a try here. Cook illustrated pick this as the best basic rice cookers ( Excellent performance at an affordable price ). In Cook’s Illustrated review and test, the Sanyo rice cooker ties with two Zojirushi rice cookers models for first place, but unlike Zojirushi, the Sanyo has a steamer basket and an easy-to-understand instruction manual.

Sanyo ECJ-N55 5.5-Cup Rice Cooker Review
So I got to personally test it out. As I expected, Sanyo rice cooker don’t have the advance feature such as setting and program the cooking time so that the rice will be ready as you come home (hmm, don’t you just love technology).
But if you want to cook white rice or brown rice perfectly with a press of button, this rice cooker will get the job done. The Sanyo rice cooker ECJ-N55 can cook up to 5 1/2 cups of raw rice that good enough to serve five people in the family.
I’m not surprise its cook the rice perfectly but I’m more impress with how easy to clean this rice cooker up. Plus it’s extremely portable to store and move around. After this rice cooker review, I have bought couple of Sanyo ECJ-N55 as a gift for my good friends, they just love it.
Currently at this writing, amazon have good discount on this Sanyo ECJ-N55 (Amazon), check it out then.
This is only one of the many Sanyo rice cookers that I have to recommend. If you are looking for a fuzzy logic rice cooker, I would point you to the Best Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker.
