Fuzzy Logic Technology

Fuzzy Logic  rice cookers use intelligent algorithms to “think” and  make real-time adjustments to temperature and cooking time based on the contents of the pot. Quinoa requires precise water absorption and cooking time to achieve the ideal texture. Fuzzy Logic helps ensure consistent results by adjusting for factors like water-to-quinoa ratio and temperature.

Induction Heating

Induction heating generates heat directly within the pot, providing precise and even temperature control. This ensures that Quinoa is cooked evenly, resulting in a better control over the cooking process, preventing the Quinoa from burning or sticking to the pot. It also ensures that each grain of Quinoa remains fluffy and avoids overcooking or under cooking.

Multi-Functional Settings

Many modern rice cookers come with dedicated presets for grains, including quinoa ensuring the correct cooking temperature and water absorption. This Tailored cooking programs optimise quinoa’s texture, making it fluffy and light.

Keep-Warm and Delay Timer

Once the quinoa is cooked, the rice cooker automatically switches to a “keep warm” mode, maintaining the texture and fluffiness. This keeps quinoa warm and ready to serve for hours without drying it out or making it mushy.
