Imagine a rice cooker (perhaps with pressure) that gives you data and control. Modulate the applied power (pwm), read a few thermocouples, pressure sensor, release solenoid. Make it all programmable, let people program it. I speculate that the usual strategy would be full power to get things warm while extracting an estimate of the specific heat of the contents. oh, maybe add a scale, so you can estimate the water content. I guess that once you get things hot, the specific heat of a rice-water mixture changes, so you want to ramp down the power. Validate that by looking for an increase in pressure. Heck, maybe different kinds of rice (or different rice dishes) would benefit from different heat-pressure schedules. Think of it as a Decent (espresso) machine, but for rice. And open-source, please.
