| | Rice cooker, Panasonic / National, available online from ImportFood.com |
 | | The rice cooker goes to work until the rice is perfectly done, then automatically stops cooking and switches to "keep warm" mode. |
 | | These cookers are a bit cheaper, but they don't have a proper ventilation system to capture and maintain moisture, so unless you serve the rice immediately after it's cooked it dries out. |
 | | At sea level, the boiling temperature for water is 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C. As soon as all of the liquid water has evaporated (or, in the case of the rice cooker, as soon as all of the water is absorbed by the rice), the temperature inside the container immediately rises. |
