context_page_description: A rice cooker or rice steamer is an automated kitchen appliance designed to boil or steam rice. It consists of a heat source, a cooking bowl, and a thermostat. The thermostat measures the temperature of the cooking bowl and controls the heat. Complex rice cookers may have sensors and other components, and may be multipurpose.
context_section_description: Gas rice cookers have a significantly larger capacity than home rice cookers (5 to 10 liters) and are  more commonly used for commercial purposes. They must be connected directly to a fuel source (either a natural gas line or a portable propane source) and do not require an electrical power supply.
  When cooking in a commercial setting, where quality, quantity, and speed are important factors, gas powered rice cookers offer several benefits.  The gas powered flame source heats the cooking pot much more quickly than electrical power sources.  Cooking at higher temperatures allows the rice to absorb water faster and cook more quickly, yielding a sweeter and more firm final product.  Due to the amount of rice being cooked at one time, electrical powered cookers are not able to heat the cooking pot fast enough.  This usually results in uneven cooking of the overall batch of rice-often leading to mushy or burnt rice on the bottom of the pot and sometimes under-cooked rice at the middle and top of the cooking pot.  Finally, being able to heat the cooking pot to a higher temperature relatively quickly allows the rice to cook faster and steam properly, resulting in a better quality batch of rice.
  Most, if not all, gas rice cookers use a heat based automatic shut-off system.  The basic principle of these systems is such that gas flow into the burner is halted once a specific temperature is reached, resulting in the burner flame to go out.
  A relatively new concept is the commercial gas pressure cooker.  These cookers use pressure cooking to produce a uniformly cooked batch of rice.  Cooking rice in a pressure cooker allows the rice to cook under more optimal conditions.
  Ideal cooking for rice employs a method of a fast heating source along with a uniform delivery of that heat.  A gas powered pressure cooking system is able to use a flame heat source to heat the cooking vessel quickly and the pressure cooker is able to heat the internal cooking environment to higher than the boiling point of water in a uniform manner.
  Induction Heating Rice Cooker
  These modern and high tech rice cookers are the best rice cooker in the market out there. You may call them state of the art in rice making.

caption: A typical commercial gas cooker. To use it, the left lever is depressed to ignite the pilot burner for stand-by and keep-warm purposes. To start cooking, the right lever is pushed to operate the main burner, which is ignited by the pilot burner. Like its electric counterpart, the cook lever releases automatically once the rice is fully cooked.
