Rice Cooker Glossary

 
Induction Heating (IH)
 
The heating method known as Induction Heating (IH) occurs when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field. In our case, coils within the bottom of the rice cooker create the magnetic field. When the aluminum nonstick inner cooking pan with stainless steel outer lining is placed into the rice cooker and the unit is activated, a magnetic field is generated to create instant heat. Through this technology, the inner cooking pan itself becomes the heat source utilizing both high heat and fine heat adjustments to control the cooking process. The result—quicker, more evenly distributed heat for perfectly cooked delicious rice every time.

GABA BROWN
 
This is not a new variety of brown rice, but a newly discovered way of cooking brown rice to “activate” it and increase naturally occurring gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid in brown rice believed to have health giving properties such as lowering blood pressure, improving kidney function and relieving stress. The brown rice is “activated” by soaking the rice at 104°F for 2 hours before the actual cooking begins.
 
 
Automatic Keep Warm
 
Once the rice is cooked, the rice cooker automatically goes to Keep Warm mode to keep the rice at the perfect serving temperature without overcooking. More advanced rice cookers may also feature Extended Keep Warm and Reheating Cycle modes.

Detachable Inner Lid
 
The inner lid (a lid that covers the inside of the outer lid of the rice cooker) detaches for easy cleaning. We recommend cleaning the inner lid after every use.
