Eventually, we looked it up. And now I’ve forgotten.
You know those shows where a person goes back in time and using their future knowledge, they make all sorts of things and have all sorts of advantages. Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Temperature. When the rice reaches a certain temperature all the way through it stops.
How does it know that it reached the same temperature all the way through?
There is probably some kind of thermometer in it.
You should know this, Leezet. You’re full Asian!
Race has nothing to do with knowledge of cooking.
Race or Rice? 🙂
Personally, I can’t cook anything.
It does when you’re on one of these cooking shows.
Wrong definition of race, you say?
My rice cooker has a crock part and a pot part. There’s a button in the bottom of the pot. When I put the crock part in, and add the rice and water, it presses the button down. and the crock part sits flush. When it’s finished cooking, the crock part is sitting crooked again. I can only assume that the weight of the raw rice plus the water presses the button down and keeps the rice cooking, and that when the rice is done, it somehow weighs less, and can’t keep the button pressed, so the circuit is broken and it turns off. I have no idea why a cup of rice that has absorbed a cup of water weighs less than the cup of rice and cup of water weigh separately.
I have noticed that with my rice cooker too! Some type of weight thingy.
My guess is that some of the water evaporates.
I probably should look this up.
