IH Technology

Induction Heating (IH) Technology

With IH, the heat is transferred into the rice by alternating electrical current. This minimizes damage to the original quality and taste of the grain.

Delicious Rice with Pressure and Steam

Pressure and Steam maintain a high temperature to thoroughly steam and cook rice.

Optimum Atmospheric Pressure

High 1.3 atmospheric pressure generates high temperature steam that cooks thoroughly to the core of each grain.

In order to achieve the best evenly cooked rice quality, optimum temperature must be 98C and above. Hitachi rice cookers achieve this with its 1.3 atmospheric pressure cooking combined with the boiling point of 107C for deliciously cooked rice.

High Heating Iron Pot

Highly heat efficient iron responds best to IH and is heated up faster. With its high heat-generating efficiency of 82-84%, Hitachis iron inner pot transfers heat more deeply to the center of the pot.
