How long can I keep Bamboo on ‘Keep Warm’?

Bamboo features a unique 24-hour Keep Warm cycle, allowing you to cook a larger batch of rice and keep it ready to serve throughout the day.

This is particularly useful for busy households or families who may want to eat rice at different times. Rather than having to cook a fresh batch for every meal, Bamboo can maintain the cooked rice at an appropriate serving temperature until you're ready to eat.

How the Keep Warm Function Works

Once the rice has finished cooking, Bamboo can automatically switch into Keep Warm mode.

The system is designed to maintain the rice at a suitable serving temperature while helping to preserve its texture and quality.

There is also a useful count-up timer on the display, so you can see exactly how long the rice has been on Keep Warm.

For example, if you cooked rice at lunchtime and wanted to serve it again later, you can simply check the display to see how long it has been kept warm.

Up to 24 Hours

Bamboo's Keep Warm function can operate for up to 24 hours, giving you considerable flexibility when preparing rice ahead of meals.

However, as with any rice cooker, the quality of rice can gradually change the longer it remains on Keep Warm. Over time, moisture naturally evaporates from the rice, which can cause it to become drier.

If you notice the rice beginning to dry out, you can add a small amount of water and gently mix the rice to help restore some moisture.

Convenient for Family Meals

The 24-hour Keep Warm function is particularly useful when cooking for a family because you can prepare one larger batch of rice rather than having to cook separate batches throughout the day.

The combination of automatic Keep Warm operation and the on-screen count-up timer means Bamboo not only keeps your rice ready to serve, but also lets you know how long it has been held.

So whether you're preparing rice for lunch, dinner or different family members eating at different times, Bamboo's 24-hour Keep Warm function provides the convenience of having cooked rice ready when you need it.
