Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Traditional rice cookers use binary logic. 0 or 1. On or off. Or more accurately: "Cook" (full power) or "warm" (low power).
Traditional program: if temperature is below 212 F then keep on at full cook power, if temperature is above 212 then switch to warm.
Usually this "program" is implemented with a mechanical computer consisting of a magnet which is calibrated to lose its magnetism at a precise temperature (the Curie point) and trigger a switch.
Fuzzy logic just means not binary on or off, but can adjust to a range of power outputs.
Fuzzy logic program: beginning of program ramp up to full power to bring water to boil, once at boiling then reduce power to keep at rolling boil, once at steam temperature maintain heat using PID controller to consistent steaming temperature, after timer complete and temperature above steam level switch to keep warm temperature.
Usually this program is implemented with a microcontroller running a software program that reads from (possibly several) temperature sensors, sometimes also a pressure sensor, and a timer.
Edit: for the record, I personally prefer basic rice cookers. The only thing that's really nice about the fancier models, in my opinion, is the timer function but I have a bunch of smart plugs available so I just plug the basic rice cooker into that and that sorts that (I do the same thing with my coffee maker).
I didn't realize rice cookers were such a rabbit hole. There are three 6-cup CUCKOO rice cookers on sale now.
On Amazon, there is the iMac one (CR-0655F) $120 down to $70, the normal looking white one (CR-0675FW) $130 down to $75, and Costco has a similar one (CR-0661F) $100 down to $80.
Can anyone advise if I'm missing any major pros and cons? The website isnt much help and tough to see if any features or extra tools make one a stand-out deal. (Though you don't get the 10% back from Prime if you buy from Costco).

I've had one since 2023 and I really like it. It's much better than the cheap rice cookers. We've made rice, pasta, couscous etc and everything comes out perfect as long as you don't add way to little or to much water.
We have one of the Cuckoo rice machines and the water lines in the pot are really hard to read. Not sure if this is the case with all the Cuckoo machines.
I'm confused, if anyone could please chime in.Micom rice cooker is also on sale. If Fuzzy Logic better or worse? https://a.co/d/eIKwReaOr do I just listen to my heard and buy a red egg, because it looks pretty cool?

I need a ten cup. We are three people... rice could last for up to 3 or 4 days in our fridge.
Just make it again. So easy and fresh rice tastes much better. I bought this brand a few years ago without the fuzzy logic for $45. Great investment. As mentioned, so easy to clean.
