Old-fashioned rice cookers are extremely clever

Well met, spirit of the credits!

I can find that cooker still, with some generic brandname, here in Denmark. (Nedis). Apparently they added a on/off switch to the side of it.

wow the most confusing part of this video is explanation of the most essential element of the entire topic! magnet, button spring, second spring. you gave it what like 10 seconds and paired it with shots that didnt even align with the voiceover 😢

MY Weller W60 soldering iron uses the same principle.
The tips came in two temperatures:
7 for 700°F
and
9 for 900°F
And IT STILL WORKS after fifty years.

The boiling point of water in Celsius is 100

I discovered microwave boil in bag rice.

100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water and 0 degrees the freezing point

was that a techdif reference at the end????

Thanks I always wondered how the rice cooker knows what it knows!

I just received the exact same rice cooker this afternoon. Same color, too.

Old rice cookers were indeed better, but simpler. could even use hot water and the rice will be cooked perfectly, and quicker.

I know I don't speak for everyone but myself. Thank you for making these.I love to learn...

they also cook rice into garbage

I’m standing in front of the same rice cooker on the thumbnail just by chance lol😂

My stove was broken for a few weeks and I cooked almost every meal using that same rice cooker

I fucking love rice cookers man

Had one of those old rice cookers and it never made a good serving of rice. Not once. Compared to our new pressure cooker which makes perfect rice every time, it is positively crap.
(Well at least the one I had)

You're free to eat what you want but I'd never use one of these gadgets as it's the worst way to cook rice. By absorbing all the water you ensure maximum arsenic retention. The opposite way would be soak, rinse several times, cook in ample amount of water, strain - done.

In Celcius the cooking point if probably 69 decided by 420. Very arbitrary and stupid

I shouldn't be surprised Technology Connections has a video on a simple rice cooker. When I was picking one out I went with a simpler option because why not, and whaddya know you have a video on the exact same model from 4 years ago.

I always assumed on my own that it was phase transition temperature but the cool part I never figured out was the thermal magnetism. Sweet!!

Sorry to be a bore here but. Water freezes at 0°C. Boils at 100°C. It’s a pretty understandable measure of temperature. I’m not saying Fahrenheit is wrong but, it’s wrong 😂

Simply,100 metric celcius

This is the exact rice cooker I have and it’s perfect

I can cook good rice in a pot without measurements I’ve done it countless times but I don’t care anyone says rice cookers cook rice better than anyone can do in a pot

How bizarre. I just randomly ordered a rice cooker on Amazon and got it today and wanted to know how they worked and it happened to be the EXACT rice cooker you used in the video. 😂

Yes amazing use of physics

cooking rise is mega is, risecookers suc as.
Just put 2 cups of water on every 1 cup of rise, let the water cook away. done.

Wow that’s such a cool mechanism!! Thanks for making these videos❤ I’ll enjoy making my rice a bit more each time now

So we were deceived that Celsius is based on 0º = freezing point of water and 100º = boiling point of water, is totally arbitrary then.

amazingly simple and clever

Isn’t rice the first most consumed grain? Help I need answers and Google says I’m right so now I need info

I have the same rice cooker.

Oh heck no, I need a video screen, at least 8 functions, and a good blue tooth connection to my cell phone app.
Oh wait, yeah K. I. S. S.
I love my simple rice cooker. Fun engineering. Be well all!

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

Magnetism really is confusing. Turns out there is now a third type called altermagnetism, just to make things harder to explain

Rice is consumed more than wheat globally in terms of the number of people who rely on it as a staple food. Rice is particularly dominant in Asia, where it forms the base of the diet for billions of people. Countries like China, India, and Indonesia are some of the largest consumers of rice, and it's also commonly eaten in parts of Africa and Latin America.

On the other hand, wheat is more widely consumed in regions such as Europe, North America, and parts of the Middle East. While wheat is grown and consumed in large quantities, it does not match rice in global consumption numbers because rice is more concentrated in the populations of Asia.

In terms of production, wheat and corn (maize) both surpass rice, but the actual consumption pattern shows rice leading in terms of total calories consumed by people worldwide.

there is uncle ben s boil in bag rice easy peasy

I bought my rice-cooker in a jiffy and it canged my daily life.

Thanks I've used these for years, as have my parents and always wondered how they work. Also you can steam things as you cook the rice with the right stand and dish.

Thx for the mechanics and electrical explanation. Our family owned ours since I could remember about 1970. I still use it nearly every day. Don't want to jinx but the thing still works so darn good, built tough. It might just outlive me.

Love ur content

Your explanation would've been much simpler if you'd mentioned that the spring is a pull spring and not a push spring.

japan may claim to be first, but I doubt it was someone japanese who invented it. Probably Korean but wasn’t given due credit by the japanese.

As someone who's very blind, you're very wrong about water not staying liquid after reaching it's boiling point. Well, it can under weird and specific circumstances but I guess that's not important for the video.

Celsius, silly arbitrary thing....

Stop making me appreciate the little things.

This guy’s jokes are so corny but he teaches me science

Wow… never knew this. 🤯
