This pot allows preparation of every type of rice to perfection. One of the most interesting current styles of rice is GABA Brown. Not a new variety, it is a new method of cooking which is said to increase the gamma-aminobutyric acid, which has several positive effects on health. The activation of the acid is accomplished by soaking the rice for two hours at one-hundred-four degrees, then cooking it.

This model uses induction heating. Coils in the bottom of the cooker cause the rice pan itself to become the heat source as a magnetic field is generated. This creates heat quickly and evenly moves it through the pan.

The inner lid detaches for cleaning. The timer allows the cooker to complete cooking at a specific time or in a preset number of hours, then automatically keeps the rice warm without overcooking. The vent and gasket combination truly reduce the volume of steam (and the mess). The Zojirushi instruction manual has precise instructions and detailed information focused on giving you the best possible finished rice.

If you want something simpler, compare with Black & Decker's rice cooker.

The top is made from Eurokera glass with stainless steel trim. The unit is lightweight and compact. It comes with a digital timer and touch control panel, six power levels, and temperature ranges from 190-430 degrees. The features include a child safety lock and automatic pan detection, which will shut off the cooker after sixty seconds if no cookware is detected. The cooktop has a low and high voltage warning system, a diagnostic error message system, and requires a standard household 110v connection.

The unit is made for induction ready cookware (enameled iron and steel, stainless steel with a magnetic bottom, cast iron, cast aluminum) but can work with some other pieces. It offers rapid precision heat, boils quickly and has an extremely low setting for delicate items. You save up to 50 percent of the cook time. Best of all, it saves a lot of energy. Because the surface of the cooktop remains cool, only the pan and your food heat. As a result, induction cooking will use 90 percent of the energy produced vs. 55 percent for gas and 65 percent for electric cooktops. Hot spots are even less of a problem because the pans are evenly heated.

People really enjoy the many potential uses, the portability, and the temperature adjustments possible. The energy savings are quite convincing and the safety features exceptional. The device can act as another home cooking center or be used outdoors, at parties, or even in a dorm if allowed.

Many of us are not ready to completely replace our current stove or cooktop, yet want to give induction cooking a try. Enter the portable single burner induction cooktop. This model from Max Burton has all the features that will enable you to find out for yourself the advantages of this method of cooking. At 1600-watts, this draws no more power than a hairdryer yet provides ample power for any cooking need, as well as very precise control over the cooking process. Unlike electric or gas, when you adjust the cooking temperature the effect is instantaneous. That's because the cooktop is generating the heat electromagnetically into the bottom of the pan itself, rather than transferring thermal heat through it, a rather inefficient method. The induction cooktop stays cool to the touch as a result, as one can demonstrate vividly by placing a paper napkin between the cooktop and a pot of boiling water! Don't try that at home on your conventional stove.

After you get over the sheer novelty of induction cooking, the convenience and precise control will keep you using it. Ten power settings and nine temperature controls from 150 - 390 degrees, plus a keep-warm setting, are all accessed via the easy to clean touchpad. There are safety features built in to this model as well. It has a shut-off timer for timed cooking, and automatic shutoff to prevent overheating, such as a pot boiling dry.

Most but not all metallic cookware will work fine for induction cooking. This unit will actually signal when an incompatible pan is placed on top, so no guesswork there.

Ten years from now we'll all be cooking with induction, so if you want to be a trendsetter, now is the time!

Compare this with Fagor's portable induction cooktop.

Chop and slice without the dangers of a mandoline. The seven cup bowl is large enough for most food preparation tasks. The smaller bowl is perfect for nuts, garlic, and smaller tasks. The entire length of the feed tube can be filled, which lets the pusher smoothly guide your items through. This model features continuous processing and pulse control for precision results.
