multi-cook function can be used to cook various types of meat and vegetables, stews etc.

2. What is an IH (Induction Heating) Rrice/Ppressure cooker? How are they different to conventional pressure rice cookers?

IH rice/pressure cookers are also classified as pressure cookers. All Ppressure cookers basically build pressure inside the pot to cook food. This process enables the rice cooker to reach a higher boiling point than when it is at a standard pressure (1 atm/105 Pa->100 degrees celsius). Pressure cookers can reach 120 -to 150 degrees celsius. IH rice/pressure cookers builds more pressure, and thus have higher boiling point than a conventional pressure rice cooker. IH pressure cookers uses 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.

3. What are the benefits of IH Ppressure cookers?

As explained in FAQ 2., Tthe rice cookers can reach higher boiling points. Not only thatdoes it reaches 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 bottom the the inner pot (conventional rice/pressure cookers usinge a heat pan on the bottom), the rice is more evenly cooked. This is what makes the Cuckoo very popular in Iinternational markets.

5. What are the coating layers of the inner pots ?

Different rice cookers models have different inner pot coatings. Many of our models have diamond coatings on the top layer of the pot to prevent rice from sticking on theo the pot. IH rice cookers havre more durable to scratches.

6. Do you have inner pots that have no coatings at all?

In Australia, our rice cooker only has non-stick coating on its pots. Non-coated inner pots (pure stainless steel, cast iron) were sold in Korea in past for a very short time but they have been discontinued, as they are very difficult to use (sticking problems). If your inner pot has been scratched due to mis-use, you can purchase rextrpla icemenner pots on our website.

7. 6 CUPScups? ORr 10 CUPS cups? WHICHhich ONEone WOULDwould SUITsuit MEme?

If you are intending to use the cooker as a pressure cooker, a 10 -cup cooker is recommended. If you are intending to use the cooker solely as a rice cooker only, a 6 -cup cooker would be suitsable for 2-3 to 3-persons family, or a 10 -cup cooker wfouldr sufamilites of 4- to 8 personsple. Please note that, this is a guide only.
