With the advent of the “Japanese food” craze, various home appliance manufacturers have improved the performance of rice cookers in order to cook more delicious rice. At present, what manufacturers are pursuing is the cooking effect of “old wood stoves”.
Various manufacturers have worked the raw materials of the inner tank. The inner tank of the Mitsubishi Electric IH Jar (Japanese: IHジャー) series rice cooker “Hontanu KAMADO” is made of carbon material that is easy to transfer heat. The part at the top called the “hakabu” is several centimeters higher than the mouth of the pot. It is said that this elevated part is conducive to a drop in temperature, so even strong heat will not overflow.
In addition, the “Ji Cook” (Japanese: 極め炊き) series of rice cookers launched by the Zojirushi Magic Bottle Company are also designed with a “hakabu” part, and the inner tank is made of southern iron ware from Iwate Prefecture. The person in charge explained that “iron is very suitable for IH’s electromagnetic induction heating method.” In addition, the “THE cooking” (Japanese: THE炊きたて) series of rice cookers launched by Tiger Magic Bottle Company is made of earthen pot liners.

Increase the capacity and cook soft rice grains
Mitsubishi Electric’s IH rice cooker “Hontan Kamado” series has increased the capacity of the inner tank, which not only increases the heat power by 28% compared to the previous one, but also does not overflow when cooking. It is said that the cooked rice grains are more fragrant and soft. According to the different function buttons, the number of cooking modes has also increased to 23. The price is about 120,000 yen (about 6,035 yuan).
Cook rice at 1.3 times the heat to make the rice full
The pressure IH rice cooker “Ji Cooker” launched by Zojirushi Magic Bottle reduces the number of ventilation holes in the inner lid compared to the previous product. In this way, it will not overflow even when boiling over a strong fire. It is said that the firepower of the new product when boiling has increased to 835 watts, which is 1.3 times that of the past. The price is around 118,000 yen (about 5,934 yuan).
Increase the heat and increase the viscosity of rice grains by 30%
The IH rice cooker “THE Cooker” launched by Tiger Magic Bottle Company in June improves the far-infrared effect that covers the bottom of the inner tank of the earthen pot. It is said that because the heating amount has increased by 8% compared to the previous amount, the viscosity of the rice grains has also increased by 30%. The 5.5-in-1 (150g contract) capacity is priced at about 130,000 yen (about 6,538 yuan).
The “Jump Cook” function has been doubled
Panasonic’s “W ODONI cooking” series, which was launched on June 1, has improved the “jump cooking” function that alternately pressurizes and depressurizes to achieve uniform heating. By decompressing in a short time, the intensity of the rice grains tumbling in the pan is increased by 2 times, increasing the sweet taste of the rice. The price of the 5.5-volume capacity is about 110,000 yen (about 5,532 yuan).
The above products are recommended products selected by the head of sales at Yodobashi Camera’s Umeda store from the newly released rice cooker, and the prices are all prices excluding tax.
