The NS-YSQ10/18 has multi-menu selections and uses the Micom (micro-computerised) Fuzzy logic technology. Micom Fuzzy logic technology automatically makes adjustments based on the thermal sensors to control the length and temperature to ensure perfect rice quality every time. The unique option allows users adjust the hardness of the white rice.

The NS-YSQ10/18 features additional settings including thicker/thinner congee (porridge), short grain rice, slow cook, Premium 'taste' and GABA brown rice settings. The YSQ10/18 rice cooker is the only NON-IH rice cooker that offers this GABA rice menu.

The GABA Brown Rice setting offers a new method of cooking brown rice that has health bene­fits. The GABA Brown Rice setting “activates” brown rice by soaking it at 104°F for 2 hours before the actual cooking begins. Proper activation can boost the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid that occurs naturally in brown rice, to 150%. GABA is believed to help lower blood pressure, improve kidney function and relieve stress.

NS-YSQ10/18 has an interchangeable melody and beep signal to indicate the user when the cooking cycle has ended. The automatic keep-warm, reheating and delay timer function also allows the user to keeps rice at an ideal serving temperature until it's ready to be served. There is also a quick cooking feature on this model. For added convenience, the NS-YSQ10/18 has an extra-large low energy LCD display and a spherical heating system.

The appliances are designed for 220V / 50Hz EU. A plug adapter is provided, depending on the outlet in your country.
