Know before you buy
Unlike standard cookers that heat from the bottom, Induction Heating uses magnetic fields to heat the entire inner pot directly. This ensures more precise temperature control and even cooking, resulting in a better texture for your rice.
Yes, the Fuzzy Logic technology automatically adjusts the cooking parameters to accommodate different types of rice and grains. You can select from the multiple pre-set menus to optimize the cooking cycle for your specific grain.
No, the inner pot is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the non-stick coating, it is recommended to wash the pot by hand using a soft sponge and mild detergent.
The delay timer allows you to set a specific time for the cooking cycle to finish. You simply add your rice and water, set the desired completion time, and the cooker will automatically manage the process so your rice is ready exactly when you need it.
Yes, the inner lid is designed to be detachable. You can easily remove it after each use to wipe away any starch buildup or residue, ensuring your cooker remains hygienic.
No, this model does not have an automatic shut-off feature. Once the cooking cycle is complete, it will automatically switch to the Keep Warm function to maintain the rice at an ideal serving temperature.
