I started using the old-fashioned analogue rice cooker after watching Technology Connection's video on how they work.
The principle is clever: liquids at boiling point stay at boiling point, since any additional heat energy is used to change their state from liquid to gas. When the temperature does rise above 100°C, that means there is no liquid left in the cooker, and so rice must be done. It then switches off the high heat and runs in "warm" mode.

- dehrmann 6y agoIt's more clever than just this, though. My Zojirushi rice cooker has a timer, so it seems to know how far along the process is and speed it up...or it lies, pads the cook time by 10 min, and keeps it warm.
