The heating method known as Induction Heating (IH) is produced when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field. For example, coils within the bottom of the rice cooker create the magnetic field. When the inner bowl is placed into the rice cooker and the unit is activated, a magnetic field is generated to create instant heat. Through this technology, the inner cooking pan itself rather than the heating element becomes the heat source utilizing both high heat and fine heat adjustments to control the cooking process. Induction Heating rice cookers cook the rice more evenly and faster than a rice cooker that only has fuzzy logic. This results in a better texture and more flavourful rice. Bamboo also has a UMAI Fuzzy Logic processor which is the ‘brain’ – it helps the rice cooker to automatically make adjustments in temperature and cooking time depending upon the programme entered by the user. This ‘brain’ makes the cooking of rice foolproof – instead of the cooker simply switching on and off reacting to temperature, the rice cooker now makes small adjustments in temperature and cooking time according to what the thermal sensor senses. This fuzzy logic computer chip means you can also have different programmes for the rice cooker which include cooking white, long grain, short grain, brown rice, Yumami, GABA and porridge (both rice and oat varieties of porridge).
