Zojirushi launches 2 models of high-end IH rice cooker with 1.3 times the thermal power "NP-WU10 / WD10": Pursuing the highest taste!

On May 18, 2015, Zojirushi Mahobin announced two pressure IH rice cooker models "NP-WU10" and "NP-WD10". All prices are open prices and will be released on June 21st. Both models have a capacity of 5.5 go (1 liter) for cooking.

The feature of both models is the adoption of the "new moisture double inner lid", which is the same as the conventional model (NP-WT). The boiling process is possible with a high heat power equivalent to about 1.3 times that of the conventional method, and the volume of the cooked rice is about 105% compared to the conventional one. In addition, we have added two new rice cooking courses, “Soft” and “Softer”, in consideration of the ease of eating rice.

The basic functions have been inherited from the conventional high-end model "NP-WT10". We have adopted the “Kamado Ultimate” menu that allows you to cook fragrant scorched rice and the special specification “Nambu Tekki Ultimate Hagama” that produces a large amount of heat. If you leave the okoge cooked in the Kamado Extreme menu in the inner pot, add water and cook it in the Yunoko menu, you can recreate the old-fashioned okoge porridge. Adding a bit of salt or dashi stock makes it even tastier.

The maximum power consumption when cooking rice is 1360 watts, and the main body size is 29.5 (width) x 36.5 (depth) x 24 (height) cm. Weight is about 8.5 kg.

The NP-WD10 is a high-end model that uses the "ironware coat extreme hagama" for the inner pot. There are two main body colors: Prime Brown and Prime White. The estimated actual selling price is around 99,800 yen (excluding tax).
