The energy efficiency of the appliance will only be a small dent in the energy consumption of cooking the rice. Most methods rely on boiling the water. Heating water up doesn’t take very much energy - about 4 kJ/kg/K. This means that heating 1 liter of water from 20 C to 100 C takes about 320,000 Joules (1 kWh = 3,600,000 Joules).

Once water is heated up to 100 C, the next step is boiling where you phase change from liquid to vapor. The specific enthalpy of vaporization for water at atmospheric pressure is about 2000 kJ/kg, so the one Liter of water would take 2,000,000 Joules to completely vaporize. You could weigh your pot before and after cooking to see how much water you vaporized.

Let’s assume you have 1 kg (about 1 liter) of water and 1/10 of it vaporizes. The minimum energy for this is about 500,000 Joules assuming 100% efficiency. Divide by efficiency, so if the appliance is 90% efficient it would be around 550,000 Joules, while 80% would be about 625,000 Joules.

So, to answer your question, the most energy efficient method will minimize vaporization. Soaking the raw rice for a few hours will help reduce boiling time. Then either a standard issue rice cooker, which should stop the boiling process as soon as the rice is finished.

Starting to change from some to most to all.

Maybe we’ll find Black Mesa

Maybe Microsoft will be giving a discount on the licenses to the affected people

I vote republican in the primary, Democrat in the general. My state has open primaries. But even with closed primaries, you can vote for whomever you want in the general. Register as a republican to vote in their primary and try to resist fascism.

Thanks, you made me laugh, I told my partner, and she also laughed. You, kind lemming, have brightened my day.

It might be fun to see a good KSP 2. I never got the official KSP 2 because of the reviews, but KSP original is still awesome.

I recently turned 40, and we’ve switched entirely to decaf. I still drink it because I love my latte, but now I can make a latte with dessert and don’t have to switch out anything. I use a Miele automatic.

Sensible heat is where it’s at!
