In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy. Sushi RiceBecause sushi rice will be processed after it's cooked, it's easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish. MixedMixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings.
This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over. PorridgeInstead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture. Steaming function can be lengthened or shortened by adjusting time setting.
MICOM (Microcomputer) TechnologyAided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from "occasional" to "serious". Basically, the microchip does all the thinking for you, as far as adjusting cooking times and temperatures according to the of rice you are cooking, and timing the pre-soaking of the grains and the final "wait" period during steaming. MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into her daily diet.
How it WorksConventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The "fuzzy logic" of MICOM fine tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all has different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan's weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.
