A standard rice cooker cooks in absorption method by cooking till all water is dried up in cooker. HumbleRice® cooker cooks rice in fixed proportion of water (e.g., 1 cup rice :4 cups water ) till rice get's cooked (fully automated way) and then drains the extra starch water out.
Our WeightSense technology suggests the proportion of rice : water required to cook different types of rice like white, brown & red rice. It automatically weighs quantity of rice & water you are cooking & recommends a time required for cooking it.
If the rice is cooked harder or softer than you like it to be, you can increase or decrease the time suggested by the cooker. HumbleRice® Cooker will learn your preferred cooking time for the type and quantity of rice you are cooking and use that memory for next time you are cooking. That gives same consistency of cooked rice every single time.
~15% sugar is reduced in rice due to starch draining. up to 15% less rice is consumed because of fluffy rice
Due to use of pesticide, rice contains cancer causing arsenic. 50% of arsenic is reduced when cooked in this method. Up to 90% of arsenic is reduced if you soak rice overnight before cooking.
Rice cooked in normal rice cookers becomes hard or soggy. In HumbleRice™ it will be fluffy and a delight to eat every single time.

How does a normal rice cooker works todayIn a normal rice cooker user needs to use rice-to-water in a fixed proportion say, 1:2. A heater heats up the rice & water and heater is ON until there is water left in the rice cooker. As soon as all the water is steamed off, the temperature of container starts rising above 100 degree C, because water's boiling temperature is 100 degree C, a thermostat senses this rise in temperature above 100 and switches OFF the heater and the rice is deemed cooked. Since not all rice take equal time to cook, user has to adjust the amount of water, to make sure the rice gets cooked for longer or shorter duration. It ends up being a trial and error process for the user to make sure the quantity of water is just right for each kind of rice.
