Know before you buy
The Umami setting extends the initial soaking and steaming phases of the cooking cycle. This process releases more sugar from the rice grains, resulting in a deeper, more savory flavor profile compared to standard cooking modes.
The GABA brown rice setting keeps the rice at a specific temperature for an extended period before the actual cooking begins. This process activates the rice, increasing the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring amino acid, to improve both nutritional value and texture.
Yes, the unit is quite versatile. It includes dedicated settings for porridge, steaming vegetables or proteins, and a slow cook function for stews or soups, making it a multi-functional kitchen appliance.
The non-stick coating is designed for easy release and simple cleanup. To preserve the coating, we recommend using the included plastic spatula and avoiding metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads.
The cooker measures 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 10 inches high. Given its 10-cup capacity, it has a substantial footprint, so it is best to measure your available counter space to ensure it fits comfortably under your cabinets.
The three warming cycles allow you to manage the rice's temperature and moisture levels based on how long you intend to keep it stored. This helps prevent the rice from drying out or yellowing, ensuring it stays at an optimal serving quality for longer periods.
