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).

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).
Community Reviews
CUCKOO's 6 cup Micom rice cooker is a strong all around pick for rice and other grains, with fuzzy logic that helps it handle water levels well and keep rice fresh for a day or two. The nonstick inner pot gets praise for making rice release cleanly and cleaning up easily, and the cooker also does well with pasta, couscous, and other grains. The main cautions are that the water lines can be hard to read, the pot should not go in the dishwasher, and some units have shown pot wear or chipping over time. It is made in China, which matters for shoppers comparing it with Korean made alternatives.
Common Questions (5)
A repeatable method is to use the same number of cups of water as rice, plus an extra 1/2 cup. That ratio was reported to produce perfect rice every time, and the cooker can hold leftovers on warm for a day or two, though rice safety and texture depend on cooling and storage.
It makes consistently good rice when the water level is right, and it can also handle pasta and couscous. The nonstick pot is easy to clean and rice does not usually stick, which helps keep results consistent.
One reported issue is a chipped or warped inner pot liner after regular use, and replacement inner pots were quoted at about $40. The nonstick surface is otherwise praised for easy cleaning and not sticking, but it may not be as durable as stainless steel.
This CR-0655F model is made in China. A Costco CUCKOO model was identified as the Korean-made version, so the country of origin differs by retailer and model.
No. The nonstick inner pot should not be put in the dishwasher, and hand washing is the safer way to preserve the coating.

We have this model - I bought it cheap used a few years ago. It's been great so far. I just do however many cups of rice, then the same number of of cups of water and add an additional half cup of water. Perfect every time.
If we have extra I just leave it warming in this for a day or two with no significant loss in quality.

I mix two cups of brown, one cup of red and a half of cup of black and cook it on the brown rice setting... about 2 hours... now it is perfect every time. I did have to adjust the water and figure it out.
I buy my rice in a Chinese grocery store in Montreal... https://www.google.com/search?q=M...s-wiz-serp
I mention this because I buy rice from California AND IT IS 1/3 THE PRICE IN THAT STORE VS AMAZON ONLINE OR ANY OTHER VENDOR. And the Chinese grocery stores near me are EXPENSIVE.
So I buy this rice... BUT FOR $18.00 NOT $60!!!!!

I am planning a trip to Montreal shortly... I can't wait.
