Know before you buy
Unlike traditional cookers that heat only the bottom, Induction Heating uses electromagnetic energy to heat the entire inner pot directly. This allows for more precise temperature adjustments and consistent heat distribution, which prevents uneven cooking and results in a better texture for your rice.
The GABA brown rice setting activates the rice by keeping it at a specific temperature for an extended period before the actual cooking begins. This process increases the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring amino acid, making your brown rice more nutritious and easier to digest.
Yes, the cooker features two delay timer settings that allow you to program exactly when you want the cooking cycle to finish. Simply set the timer, and the unit will calculate the necessary start time to ensure your rice is ready right on schedule.
The stainless steel inner lid is designed to be fully detachable. You can easily remove it after each use to wash it by hand with mild detergent, ensuring no residue or odors build up over time.
No, this model does not use pressure cooking. It relies exclusively on advanced Induction Heating technology to achieve consistent results across its various rice settings.
No, the components of this rice cooker are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating and the finish of the parts, we recommend washing the inner pot and detachable lid by hand using a soft sponge.
