Zojirushi’ s fish roaster has a platinum catalytic filter on lid that reduces up to 90% of smoke and odor components. Platinum is a very efficient catalyst in chemical reactions. By infusing platinum particles in the filter, it allows the filter to chemically decompose odor components into carbon dioxide and water more efficiently. Smoke is also chemically decomposed in a similar way. A catalytic filter itself does not change or easily deteriorate and does not have to be replaced, as opposed to other filters. The roaster also has top and bottom heat reflectors that work in tandem to enhance crispiness. Top and bottom heating elements allow even cooking without flipping foods. The extra wide roasting rack accommodates large fish and meats.

Platinum Catalytic Filter
The filter works similarly to a car’s catalytic converter. Platinum is a very efficient catalyst in chemical reactions. By infusing platinum particles in the filter, it allows the filter to chemically decompose odor components into carbon dioxide and water more efficiently. Smoke is also chemically decomposed in a similar way. A catalytic filter itself does not change or easily deteriorate, and does not have to be replaced, as opposed to other filters.
Heat Reflectors
Two reflectors are located behind the top and bottom heaters. The bottom reflector, called the floating reflector, floats atop a shallow pool of water. The water helps to keep the temperature of the reflector down in order to reduce smoke from oil or food particles that may fall onto it and become burnt-on.
Worry-Free Roasting
- Platinum catalytic filter on lid reduces up to 90% of smoke and odor components
- Top and bottom heat reflectors work in tandem to enhance crispiness

Great way to cook fish without the mess and the smellHigh points:• Better tasting fish due to direct heating from top and bottom in close proximity to the fish• Less smell due to full lid and vent with filter• Low smoke due to water tray to catch drippings• Works really well for oily fish like mackerel, salmon, black cod• Easy to disassemble and clean, no need to wipe down the kitchen afterwardsVery easy to use. Fill the drip tray with some water, preheat the roaster, put the fish in for desired time and that’s it! The roaster has top and bottom heating elements so there isn’t as much of a need to turn the fish and risk breaking it up, but since you can only set a timer, not temperature, you may want turn to insure even cooking since the top heating element sits closer to the fish than the bottom one. I have never had an issue with flareups like one of the reviewers, but I don’t apply a lot of oil or marinades to my fish – maybe that was the cause. Since it is fully lidded with only a small vent with a filter at the top, very little of fish smell comes out of the unit unlike cooking it over the stove. I normally put the unit on a cookie sheet on the stove and turn on the range hood. Any fish smell coming out of the vent goes right out of the house.Clean up is really easy. The bottom tray, drip pan and grill pulls away from the heating element and the base so you can carry it to the sink and wash it. The top comes apart similar to the bottom but has a few more latches to remove the individual pieces. The heating elements can be wiped down after they cool. I clean mine after each use so it still looks as good as new after owning it for 2 years. I’m not sure what some of these other people do to theirs for it to rust. . .Very happy with the purchase. It allowed me to enjoy cooking and eating fish again.

No more kitchen odorDefinitely worth it. Kitchen is cooler than if using the oven. The appliance would be perfect if the rack were non-stick. It’s easy to clean. Important to remember to pour water in first! The purpose of buying this was to encourage more eating of fish (as opposed to red meat), and it is working. I recommend it.

Beautiful and Cooks Perfectly with no SmokeThis is a beautiful appliance. Easy to use and cooks food perfectly. Pay attention to the packaging notes when opening up. They show where tape is to be removed when unpacking. They do a great job of packing and explaining things.I cooked Salmon the first night. I added lemon olive oil and spices. No skin or bones. I set the timer for 12 minutes. It was thick salmon. Turned out excellent! Very moist. Make sure water is added to the plastic tray when using.Next night boneless/skinless chicken breasts. Set the timer for 15 minutes after first preheating for 2 minutes. Olive oil and spices. Best chicken breasts I’ve ever made. Moist with a slight crisp on both sides. Cooked to perfection. No pink.This is one impressive appliance. It has made me set my air fryer to the back of the counter.I also own a Zojirushi Rice Cooker. I am very impressed with their products.There are no temperature settings on this roaster but it doesn’t seem to make a difference in cooking.Tonight I will try steak but I will set the timer less then the suggested setting so I will get a red center.This item is easy to clean. Wipe the burners off after it cools down so you won’t get any smoke. Which, by the way, there was absolutely none! Besides the first heating out of the package. There is also no odors.Everything comes apart for cleaning and the spatula that comes with it is genius!This is a keeper.

It’s a grill that really doesn’t smell.This performance is excellent at a low price. Not only does it keep the room odor free, it also cooks fish very well.I would recommend this great product to many people.

I bought this again!This grill is easy to use. I grill/roast not only fish but also chicken, beef, vegetables, etc. This grill is easy to clean. I like how this is made – pieces are removable to be cleaned well.

Botton pan rusts each time use, it gets worse. Major design flawsI dislike it. I loved the fish grill from National for 20 years and all our family members also own one from National in their house hold. However, I am disappointed by the Zojirushi fish grill.First of all, I could not believe that the machine started to rust within a month of the purchase. You need to empty and wash up the water pan after each use for the fish smell and it does not work since it rusts more and more each time.I also disliked the way the customer service handled the case. They told me to spend another $39 plus tax for the replacement and they also said it is completely harmless because there is no direct food contact with the rust and the fish. The fish gets cooked by air circulation inside of the grill, how can they be so confident?When I receive the Zojirushi fish grill by mail, I saw the sign the product warning for cancer cause in CA, I should have returned it. This product is made in China. The machine looks bulky and compare to National Panasonic fish grill, this is NO. With the price, they should make a better product. Fish grill is ok but I want Japanese made ZOJIRUSHI since it is Japanese brand. It is a shame.

If it was easier to clean, I would have given it a 5 star…This product is really good for grilling fish. It is not smokeless or order free, however. Oil from the fish will catch fire and start smoke and stink up your kitchen. Cleaning is NOT easy. It always takes me 15 minutes to cook the fish and then 30 minutes to clean the roaster. And you MUST clean after each use; therefore, you cannot roast more than one serving. For one meal, it works, but for one meal with more than 4 adults to feed, it would be a disaster. I really wanted to like this roaster and I do (if I don’t have to clean it), but it is too much pain to clean it each time. Also, you cannot control the temperature other than just using the timer. In conclusion, if you love cleaning instead of eating, you should get this roaster. If you hate cleaning and just love eating, don’t waster your money and stick to conventional electric toaster/broiler.

I like it.I like this fish roaster. The good: It does a fine job of cooking fish, and I’ve also roasted sliced sweet potatoes in it with excellent results. It’s simple to use and not too much trouble to clean. As promised, I cannot detect any cooking smells.The bad: After cooking fish for 8 minutes and then immediately roasting some veggies for an additional 15 minutes, the plug and cord are very hot to the touch. They should never be hot. The roaster loses one star for not using a heavier cord and plug.Also, the owner’s manual only lists cooking times for a few foods. It would be nice if they devoted a page to an extensive list of cooking times, or at least offered such information on their web site.The indifferent: The timer is an old-fashioned clockwork dial. I’d have expected a digital timer for more precise control.

Love this thing. Easy to clean, cooks fish perfectly, and doesn’t stink up the house.Love this thing. Easy to clean, cooks fish perfectly, and doesn’t stink up the house.All internal parts remove easily for cleaning them, and comes with a cool spatula thingy that lets you remove your cooked fish without anything sticking to the rack they cook on. It is a mechanical timer (not digital), but it works perfectly and gives a loud enough “ding” sound when it’s done cooking.I don’t understand how this works so well at filtering the smells, but it does. You can cook fish all day in this thing without getting a fish-stank house. You can smell that something is cooking, but it’s just light food on the grill smell. Never too strong and never fishy- even when cooking varieties of fish that are naturally stinky.I’d recommend this to anybody.
