What is Pressure Cooking Function?
Utilizes high-pressure steam to cook rice faster and enhance its texture and nutrient absorption.
Definition
The Pressure Cooking Function in a rice cooker elevates the internal temperature above the boiling point of water by sealing steam inside, creating high pressure. This intense heat and pressure penetrate rice grains more deeply and quickly, resulting in exceptionally soft, fluffy, and often stickier rice with a chewier texture. It can also significantly reduce cooking times for tougher grains like brown rice.
Why It Matters
Pressure cooking not only speeds up the cooking process but also changes the molecular structure of rice, making it more digestible and potentially enhancing its nutrient absorption. It's particularly beneficial for achieving specific textures for different rice varieties, like perfectly sticky sushi rice or soft brown rice.
