What is the Bamboo inner bowl made from?

In our years of selling Zojirushi rice cookers, we realised that all of rice cookers on the market in the UK, Europe or the USA only had teflon/similar non-stick material inner bowls.

Based on many customer queries and opinions, we took the decision to supply an inner bowl with a premium and durable 3mm thick ceramic coating.We call this type of bowl - Joubu.

The Joubu bowl is BPA, PTFE or PFAS (PFOA and PFOS) free and is hard wearing. The inner bowl also has a special honeycomb structure to help the heat disperse evenly across the bowl’s surface.

The level lines of the bowl are silk printed rather than stamped so they can be hard wearing but also easily read in low light conditions. The inner bowl also has easy lift handles.
