rice cooker 2
For those of you interested in how things work, this is what the rice cooker looks like with the rice-cooking bowl removed. The shiny thing at the bottom is an induction coil: an electric current is passed through it, which generates a magnetic field, which generates an electric current in the cooking vessel, which then gets warm, which cooks the food. Very efficient - none of this heating something to heat something else to heat the food lark. Also doesn't generate much excess heat, useful in the stifling Chinese summer.
