SENSOR LOGIC™ TECHNOLOGY

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

Sensor Logic™ technology ensures that you will have restaurant quality,
perfect rice every time.

Traditional electric rice cookers heat only from the bottom at one set
temperature and turn off when the water has been absorbed. Aroma’s Sensor

™

Logic

Rice Cooker uses advanced technology and an all around heating

system that maintains the optimal cooking environment.

This technology automatically regulates the temperature throughout the
cooking process. Based on the amount of rice and water, the temperature will
adjust to create quality results every time. During the process, the rice cooks
as the water is absorbed into each grain. After the boiling stage, the cooker
will have one last heat surge where excess water and steam will be burned
off. The complete process ensures that the rice will be perfect for as little as
one cup or as much as six cups of cooked rice!
