The new generation rice cooker is able to do more than rice cooking. With good temperature control and timer, it can work like a pressure cooker to cook food to soft, yet retaining its form and moisture. The Philips Avance rice cooker has a thick base inner pot which works like a couldron, good in retaining heat and keeping temperature constant.
By utilizing the soup functions of the rice cooker, it can help to free up your stove by taking care of slow-cooking dishes :)
