I have a IH rice cooker and it cooks differently to my old rice cooker

Induction Heating (IH) rice cookers cook rice differently from conventional rice cookers, so it is normal to find that you need to make some small adjustments when switching from a conventional model to an IH cooker.

Instead of transferring heat from a conventional heating plate underneath the inner bowl, IH technology generates heat through electromagnetic induction within the compatible inner bowl itself. This allows heat to be applied more directly and gives the cooker greater control over the temperature and cooking process.

Because the heating method is different, the amount of water that produced your preferred results in your previous rice cooker may not produce exactly the same results in an IH model. Different rice varieties can also require different water ratios.

If your rice is too soggy or wet

Try slightly reducing the amount of water you use.

If your rice is too dry or overcooked

Try adding a small amount of additional water.

Make adjustments gradually rather than changing the water quantity significantly. Once you find the right balance for the particular rice you are cooking, you should be able to achieve consistent results every time.

It may take a little experimentation when you first switch to an IH rice cooker, but once you have perfected the rice-to-water ratio, the results are well worth it. With the correct settings and water level, your IH cooker can consistently produce excellent rice, batch after batch.
