Overview
Zojirushi designs this tabletop cooker around a circular heating base that takes two swappable pans: a deep one for sukiyaki, fondue and soups, and a flat plate for grilling. A steaming plate drops into the deep pan, and that pan can also go straight onto a stove burner.
Versatility at the table is the reason to buy: one base cooks a hot pot one evening and grills the next by swapping the pan, and the steaming plate adds a third mode. Capacity in liters is not stated, and the small number of heat settings means coarse temperature steps.
Who it's for
A dining table where the meal is cooked in front of the people eating it, with the base swapping between simmering and grilling. Cooks who also want the deep pan for stove use get that too. Someone after a large flat griddle for pancakes or a precise sear should choose a dedicated griddle.
Pros and cons
- Deep pan and flat grill plate included
- Steaming plate included
- Deep pan usable on a stovetop burner
- PTFE free listed
- Wattage differs between title and spec sheet
- Pan capacity not listed
- Only three heat settings

Performance notes
Even cooking across the pan relies on the circular heating element matching the round pan base, so the edge of a sukiyaki broth simmers at the same pace as the center. The heat settings step rather than dial, so holding a gentle fondue temperature means choosing the lowest step and watching it. Swapping to the flat plate changes the mode from simmering to grilling, with the same element underneath.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the box with the Zojirushi EP-RAC50?
A lid, 2 pans and the cooker. The description identifies the pans as a deep pan and a flat grilling plate, plus a steaming plate.
Is the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 a griddle or a hot pot?
Both, by swapping pans: the deep pan handles soup-type foods like sukiyaki and fondue, and the flat plate is for grilling. It is not a large flat griddle while the deep pan is fitted.
Does the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 use a nonstick coating?
The material is listed as stainless steel and PTFE free. The listing does not describe any other coating.
