To use the device, users simply scan their pack of rice and the device will identify the type, brand and origin of the rice being used. The smart rice cooker will then adjust its heating methodology accordingly using a combination of induction heating, pressure control and a gray cast iron lining.

Designed to support more than 200 different types of rice, the Mi Induction Heating Pressure Rice Cooker is a perfect addition to any kitchen.
