Rice cookers · Choose by your needs
For a named Jasmine congee plan up to one supplied dry cup, the Zojirushi NL-GAC10 documents a 0.5–1 cup range. If you need more than one cup, the NL-GAC18's plan extends to 1.5. Use the congee-specific range for the batch; the models' larger plain-rice capacity does not change this recipe limit.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
| Model | Named congee plan | Congee dry-cup range | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zojirushi NL-GAC10 | Jasmine congee menu. | 0.5–1 supplied dry cup. | Choose when your planned batch is no more than one cup. |
| Zojirushi NL-GAC18 | Jasmine congee menu. | 0.5–1.5 supplied dry cups. | Choose when you need the documented congee range above one cup and up to 1.5. |
Choose it when: The NL-GAC10 manual identifies a Jasmine congee plan and sets its own half-to-one-cup quantity range, including a documented half-cup starting amount.
The limit: The congee plan ends at one supplied cup even though the model's ordinary rice capacity is larger; it is not the right documented choice for a congee batch above that limit.
Choose it when: Its named congee plan starts at the same half cup as the NL-GAC10 but extends the documented maximum to one and a half supplied cups, which is the relevant difference for larger batches of this recipe.
The limit: This higher limit belongs only to the NL-GAC18 congee method; it is not a general conversion from model size to congee capacity or a claim about taste or performance.
The amount of dry rice allowed for congee can be different from the cooker’s regular rice range. Choose a model whose manual names Jasmine congee and read the quantity table for that method. A general rice capacity cannot be substituted for a recipe-specific limit.
Choose the NL-GAC10 for a 0.5–1 supplied-cup Jasmine congee batch; choose the NL-GAC18 if your batch needs to exceed one cup and stays within 1.5. Both plans begin at half a supplied dry cup, but their congee-specific upper limits differ by half a cup.
The NL-GAC18's larger documented congee amount applies to its named Jasmine congee plan; it does not establish the same quantity for another grain, recipe, or porridge setting. Follow the exact model's markings and directions for water and dry rice.
No. The relevant number is the range attached to its congee method. The NL-GAC10 plan reaches one supplied cup; the NL-GAC18 plan reaches one and a half. Do not infer either amount from another menu or a cooked-yield label.
Neither featured plan documents that amount. Use the complete match list to check other exact manuals or choose a smaller batch that fits a documented congee range; do not extrapolate from ordinary-rice capacity.
