What is Micom (Microcomputer) Heating?
A basic intelligent heating system that uses a microchip to control cooking time and temperature.
Definition
Micom (Microcomputer) heating is a fundamental intelligent system in rice cookers. Unlike traditional on/off heating, Micom models use a small computer chip to monitor temperature and adjust heating elements more precisely throughout the cooking cycle. While not as advanced as Fuzzy Logic or Induction Heating, it provides better results than basic rice cookers by optimizing the cooking process for different rice types.
Why It Matters
Micom heating provides a significant upgrade over basic rice cookers, offering more consistent and reliable cooking results by actively managing the cooking process. It ensures rice is cooked through without being gummy or hard, especially for common varieties like white and brown rice.
