Induction Heating (IH) rice cookers cook differently to conventional rice cookers. The magnetic coils apply heat to the contents of the inner bowls and agitates the contents differently to conventional by use of eddy currents and instant heat application.  Therefore there may be some small adjustments required to how you have previously cooked your rice in your old conventional type of rice cooker.  Here are some tips for the most common issues: Rice is too soggy/wet – add less water to your rice Rice is overcooked/dry – add a little extra water to your rice Once you have the volumes perfected for the rice you are cooking – we promise you it will be worth it and you will be cooking perfect rice in no time – time after time. IH rice cookers are also more energy efficient than most conventional rice cookers. Although they are higher power (wattage), they apply heat directly to the bowl and contents. The heat is instant and more directed so there is less energy wasted. See more information on our energy guidance pages related to this.
