Zojirushi 🔥🔥🔥
trippiler t1_j4yaus7 wrote
Zojirushi is awesome but those flasks are legit too good. Even if I prepare my coffee the night before, it's way too hot to drink in the afternoon so I have to open it and let it cool for like an hour.

May I asked where you bought it?

So I took the 0-ring off of my my flask a few years ago to clean it and now it leaks. I can't figure out how to get on on correctly. I only got a few months out of it.

You should write to them. They are an amazing company. I'll bet they'll at least send instructions on getting it back together properly.

i had a stanley with a similar "issue". took me a few days of trial and error to figure out exactly how many ice cubes to add to bring it down to the perfect drinking temp.

More and more Zojirushi stuff is made outside of Japan. :-(
ConBroMitch t1_j4yq3h7 wrote
Curious as well.
Cottonita t1_j4yupm6 wrote
Yes! I used to bring soup to work in one of those, and it just never got cool enough to eat. That said, Zoji flasks work super well in keeping cold drinks cold.

We loved ours and had the same problem. Now they leak when you sip and thats just untenable. Sadly we had to retire them, we couldn't get it fixed.
rolandofeld19 t1_j4yw00k wrote
Same problem.

They have on amazon!

I use mine every time I go to work. It's awesome! Make sure you seal that bottom container tight, because it will leak if you don't!

What am I looking at and why am I excited? Any info about them? I’m just curious I’ve never heard of these

friend got one of their rice cookers from a japanese store in the states and they made sure to tell him it was chinese

I live in Japan so I just bought it locally! I heard it can be expensive outside Japan though

I am now looking into this. Have wanted a thermos that is microwave safe and all in one set. Thanks for the suggestion.
timisher t1_j4zc1o8 wrote
They have models made in Japan still.
MomentsLastForever t1_j4zchj0 wrote
Many of the Zojirushi products available in the US now are made in China and a definite step down from the older Japanese models.
GizmosityQPublic t1_j4zeuva wrote
Yes it is. More than 2x what you paid. Thank you!
Tokyo_babygirl OP t1_j4zjd6v wrote
All these says made in Thailand, is there any difference?
HustleI87 t1_j4zovmo wrote
Best rice cooker too
Tyetus t1_j4zoxhk wrote
Those flasks are amazing, I can fill mine up with ice and water and it will legit last all week with the ice. (I have a 68 oz one)
dolphone t1_j4zxnk8 wrote
Yeah they're definitely not meant to be drinked from, unless you like your throat burned (or store lukewarm drinks).
I really like their products.
captain_flak t1_j4zzhvi wrote
Yeah, I just got a Zojirushi griddle for Christmas. Made in China, but it still works really well.
NeVMiku t1_j4zzjiz wrote
Awesomely over-engineered thermal flasks. The last one lasted my family 20 years and others on this sub got them to last even longer.
They also perform very well in keeping things hot or cold throughout its life. It's an investment when bought outside of Asia/Japan but it's a good investment I'm willing to pay for again.
They also do rice cookers and other lunch boxes (bento boxes) well worth checking out.
rectalhorror t1_j4zzxaw wrote
I've had the grey model of that lunch box for 20 years as well. I used to only use it for camping trips, but I decided to drop some weight, so I'd pack miso, salad, grilled fish, and pickles.
VisualKeiKei t1_j504n80 wrote
Zojirushi makes a thermal cooker which is basically where the inner layer is a pot that you can boil a soup or stew in on the stove, then place it into another insulated container with a lid and it would be an energy-free slow cooker.
On the personal vacuum flasks, I usually toss in a small ice cube which gets it where it needs to be or I'll be burning my lips on hot tea all day.
Their higher end appliances are fantastic. I've got their induction pressure rice cooker and their water boiler/dispenser.

Is that a lunchbox?? Those all look awesome! Il have to look into all of that for myself for work
LeeisureTime t1_j508qq3 wrote
Yes, that water boiler is amazing. Wife goes through one 3.4 liters of boiling water every two days (she doesn’t like cold water and she drinks a lot of water every day). Best damn money I’ve spent, imho, gets daily use and keeps water piping hot. Just so damn convenient.
And every once in a while if I want tea or a hot drink, I can just pop in to the kitchen, press a button, and instant hot drink!

That's exactly why I started drinking with milk!

they look really great
coffeejn t1_j50b0a1 wrote
Got any recipe recommendations for the three part thermos? I've been eyeing it but cannot come up with anything that I would use it for.
(Photo is misleading since you probably don't want any food sticking out and I question the leak proof section for soup, probably good knowing the manufacturer but still questionable).
Hodgej1 t1_j50bpkz wrote
Coffee makers also. I had a Zojirushi coffee maker with a insulated decanter and it was the best ever.
800-lumens t1_j50fxjc wrote
I've had mine for 10+ years and I love it. The clock blinks 7:00 forever now, but I'll accept that as long as it makes perfect rice.
K1ng-Harambe t1_j50g3da wrote
I ran over my coffee flask with a tractor and it still keeps my coffee too hot to drink.
I dont know how anyone can complain about them.
Emuc64_1 t1_j50j1as wrote
Nice! I use a Zojirushi carafe (SH-FB19) for coffee. Morning coffee drip brew and put the 12-cup into the 64oz container and have coffee throughout the day at home. No burnt coffee from the coffee maker, no weird microwaved taste, etc.
Edit: The cool part is you can just pour without unscrewing the lid or depressing a button.
notenoughcharact t1_j50nhqz wrote
I rings need a certain amount of tension to work properly. If it’s older it might have just stretched out too much when you took it off and no longer be keeping a seal. I’d contact them and ask for a replacement o ring. Or just measure the dimensions and get a replacement.
Tokyo_babygirl OP t1_j50umez wrote
We’re saving up for that next!
Tokyo_babygirl OP t1_j50zk6s wrote
I won’t be packing that much rice, so i’ll put rice and protein-rich appetizers in the middle, cut up fruits at the top, and miso soup at the bottom
Sanpaku t1_j50zn83 wrote
Products from the consumer insulated vacuum bottle maker with the best engineering/QC. And sometimes prices to match.
Here, we're probably looking at:
- (2L) Stainless Bottle SF-CC20 MSRP $66.49 USD
- Classic Stainless Lunch Jar SL-XE20 MSRP $71.99 USD
- (600 mL) Stainless Mug SM-WA60 MSRP $62.99 USD
I was recently in the market for a thermal carafe for coffee, and reviews for every competitor said: 'will keep warm for maybe 2 hours', while the Zojirushi reviews stated: 'we can brew the night before and wake up to hot coffee'. So I waited till the one I wanted popped up on Ebay (for $29 rather than $45), and yes, its hot out to 7-8 hours.
Sanpaku t1_j510h5w wrote
- they all have manuals on the Zojirushi site
- A thin coat of food safe silicone grease helps o-rings seat correctly in their channel. I use it on more things then I imagined, for example its the best product to use on the silicone seals on pressure cookers.
sullinsjb t1_j511614 wrote
Awesome this is the info I was hoping for. Are the ones listed on Amazon the same? They’re cheaper didn’t know if there is a difference.
Sanpaku t1_j513677 wrote
MSRP: manufacturer's suggested retail price from the Zojirushi site.
Retailers discount. All of these are much less expensive in Asia, so there may be some 3rd party imports undercutting Zojirushi US or Zojirushi EU.
AfroMan7723 t1_j5157oz wrote
I work outside in the cold a lot of the time. Anyone know if they keep stuff hot for a while even if it’s around 30F?
Frosty_Pizza_7287 t1_j51fyqs wrote
Why? China has wonderful products comparable or even exceeding those of other countries? Have a lot of wonderful Chinese products.
Edit: just bought one. You Yankees and your hatred of everything China is foolish.
MomentsLastForever t1_j51h53t wrote
The design may be the same. The build quality is just a bit lower as a rule. Japanese Zojirushi appliances routinely last for decades. You can pass them down to your kids. The non-Japanese made items are still good, they’re just not made to last forever the way the older Japanese ones are.
MomentsLastForever t1_j51w88b wrote
I would suggest keeping the thermos in an insulated lunchbox or cooler. Should easily stay hot all day then.

We have 2 of those thermal cooker at my momma house. It was expensive but it still works like brand new after 14 years!
We use it on a weekly basis.
suitopseudo t1_j53tc34 wrote
Eh.. I have had my made in China Zojirushi rice cooker for 10+ years. It works as well as it ever has. The stupid clock battery has died, but not a problem since it displays when plugged in. The hate for the China made ones is way exaggerated.

Lol… mine too.. stupid soldered battery.
