How is the Bamboo inner bowl heated?
Bamboo is an Induction Heating (IH) rice cooker, which means it uses electromagnetic induction to generate heat directly within the inner cooking bowl rather than relying solely on a conventional heating element underneath it.
Inside the cooker are induction coils that generate a rapidly changing electromagnetic field. This causes electrical currents to be induced within the specially designed inner bowl, making the bowl itself heat up and transfer heat directly to the rice, water and other ingredients.
Even Heat Distribution
Because the inner bowl is heated directly, heat is distributed more evenly around the cooking vessel rather than being concentrated primarily at the base.
This helps provide:
More even cooking throughout the bowl
Consistent heat distribution around the rice
Greater temperature control during the cooking process
Excellent results when cooking different types of rice and other dishes
More consistent results when using the Keep Warm function
The spherical design of Bamboo's inner bowl works together with the IH heating system to promote effective heat circulation around the cooking chamber.
IH Heating for Consistent Results
Unlike a conventional rice cooker, where heat is transferred from a heating element into the bottom of the bowl, Bamboo's IH system generates heat within the bowl itself.
This gives the cooker rapid and responsive temperature control, allowing its advanced cooking programmes to adjust the heat throughout the cooking cycle.
The result is more evenly distributed heat, carefully controlled cooking and consistently excellent rice from the first serving to the last.
