Although I consider myself to be a proficient amateur cook, I’m painfully aware that rice is one of my shortcomings. I thoroughly enjoy cooking everything from fried rice to biryani, but since I make mine on the stovetop, it’s never perfectly fluffy. That’s why, as of recently, I’ve been eyeing this Zojirushi 6-cup rice cooker.

The brand hails from Japan, manufacturing ultra-durable appliances that cook rice to perfection. And ahead of Fall Prime Day, the 6-cup iteration is on sale for 47% off, bringing the price from $80 to just $42.

The Zojirushi can cook up to six cups of rice at once. Whether you prefer jasmine, basmati or white rice, it can do it all. It can also double as a steamer with a stainless steel, non-stick, removable tray. Once it’s finished, the see-through glass lid and warmer both activate to ensure the food is up to your standards.

When dinnertime rolls around, its durable handles stay cool to the touch. Meanwhile, its stainless steel and glass materials are easy to clean, while the removable cord simplifies the storage process. If you’d rather keep it on the counter, it’s incredibly compact, measuring at roughly 10 by 9 inches and weighing less than five pounds.

Based on its 4.5-star rating and nearly 12,000 reviews, it seems as though shoppers seriously appreciate the rice cooker’s small size and quality. “This is the easiest rice cooker I’ve ever used! It’s small in size but mighty in power… it makes perfect rice every time,” one shopper writes. “Once it’s done cooking it automatically switches to ‘warm’ mode so if I’m in the middle of making dinner I don’t have to worry about the rice burning. It is super easy to clean and tucks away perfectly when not in use. 10/10 buy this!”

So, if you want to bring your culinary abilities to the next level, snag this amazing deal—it’s too “rice” to pass up.
