FAQS
Yes, and they aren’t cheap.
Maybe instant rice if you keep an eye on it, but overall I would not recommend this for rice.
Yes, water/broth boils even without a lid on.
Yes, it’s like Teflon nonstick. It’s not poorly made though… It’s one of the better expensive high grade coating.
So it won’t peal off or etc… this brand is worth it’s weight in Gold… I know I been banging on the 2 pots included.
Worth the money… it’s a good investment.

Not the US version. Check their website for non-US versions that will run 220-240V.
The Gourmet d’Expert® Electric Skillet EP-RAC50 was specifically made for stewing, grilling or steaming foods (stew-type menus and/or steaming type menus). It is not designed to sauté, fry or deep fry foods. Please contact Zojirushi America Customer Service for further assistance by email at [email protected]
For the pot insert, its top is 30cm and its bottom is 25cm.
For the skillet insert, its top is 30cm and its bottom is26.5cm
The manual says it is only for 120 V, 60 Hz. This is the US version. Since they market world-wide, their European and Japanese versions must be 220-240, 50 Hz. I suggest you contact them via their website and find out how to purchase one of these. I thought the only thing necessary would have been to swap the power cords, but the manual specifies the 120/60 power.
China,… but is a high quality machine that has held up very well .
The Gourmet d’Expert® Electric Skillet EP-RAC50 is larger in dimension and will include 2 different pans: a deep which can be used directly on the stovetop burner and a flat plate for grilling. Please contact Zojirushi America Customer Service for further assistance by email at [email protected]
Using water and an accurate 16 ounce measuring cup, the “pan” will hold 5 quarts when filled up to the point where the water touches the rim of the glass cover. The pan is used for stew-type dishes. Four quarts is a practical maximum. The “flat plate” (also provided), is used for grilling and sauteing, but also has some depth to it (about 1.5″) and holds about 2 quarts as a practical maximum, and 2.75 quarts to the rim of the glass cover. Keep in mind, this is the EP-RAC50 model, there is also a smaller version. The diameter of the EP-RAC50’s glass cover is 12-3/8″ and fits both the Pan and the Flat Plate.
