This electrical rice cooker has a precise and contemporary form and many diverse functions. The prominently designed, very large steam valve combined with a micro-pressure valve ensures that the rice is cooked at a constantly high temperature and consistent pressure and that the water does not overflow. Due to this functionality, the rice is not cooked at intervals as has been usual until now, but rather at a constant temperature and in a shorter time, whereby the rice retains its sweetness and tastes better.
