Do you sell pressure type rice cookers?

No. We do not currently sell this type of rice cooker.

We have extensively tested pressure-based rice cooking and found that, in our experience, the results can be less predictable and consistent than those achieved using conventional heating or Induction Heating (IH) technology.

One of the main claims made about pressure rice cookers is that they cook rice more quickly. While applying pressure can reduce the time during which the rice is actively being cooked, the overall process also needs to take into account the time required for the cooker to build up pressure before cooking and then safely release that pressure afterwards. When the complete cooking cycle is considered, we found that pressure-based rice cooking can, in some circumstances, take as long as or even longer than conventional or IH cooking methods.

Rice grains are also delicate and require carefully controlled heat and moisture throughout the cooking process to achieve the desired taste, texture and aroma. In our testing, combining pressure with heat could produce less consistent results, including rice that was overcooked or mushy, or rice where the natural flavour, aroma and texture were compromised.

Our focus has therefore been on developing rice cookers that provide precise control over temperature, cooking time and the different stages of the cooking process, rather than relying on pressure as the primary cooking method.

It is also worth noting that some rice cookers marketed as “pressure” or “pressure IH” models may not use pressure in the same way as a true pressure cooking system. A genuine pressure rice cooker requires a purpose-designed pressure vessel capable of safely containing elevated pressure, together with appropriate safety mechanisms. This would typically include a heavy-duty steam/pressure release system and a secure locking lid designed specifically to contain and safely release the pressure.

For these reasons, we have chosen not to offer pressure rice cookers and instead concentrate on technologies that we believe provide the most consistent and controllable results for cooking great-tasting rice.
