ABOUT RICE
COURTESY OF THE USA RICE FEDERATION
Traditional electric rice cookers heat only at one set temperature, then turn off
once all the water has been absorbed. Sensor Logic
™
rice cookers are for true
rice enthusiasts. This rice cooker uses an on-board micro-computer to ‘think’
for itself. By simply pressing the corresponding function button, Sensor Logic
™
will optimize the cooking temperature of the rice to enhance flavor and
texture. The sensor monitors the boiling rate of the water in the pot and
controls temperature accordingly to provide the perfect pot of rice— every
time.
