Cuckoo CRP-JHT1010F IH Pressure Rice Cooker & Warmer 1.8L / 10 cups - Chrome

IH rice cookers are also classified as pressure cookers. Pressure cookers can reach 120 to 150°C. IH rice cookers build more pressure and thus have a higher boiling point than a conventional pressure rice cooker. IH pressure cookers use induction heating technology (induction coils build electromagnetic induction to heat up the whole stainless steel inner pot), whereas conventional pressure cookers use a heating pan to heat up the inner pot.

The IH rice cooker can reach higher boiling points. Not only does it reach a higher boiling point, but it shortens the time of cooking. When food/grain is cooked at higher heat within a short time, the food becomes softer and tender. As the whole inner pot (bottom and sides) is heated up instead of only the bottom of the inner pot (conventional rice/pressure cookers use a heated pan on the bottom), the rice is more evenly cooked. This is what makes the Cuckoo so internationally recognised.
