How does a rice cooker know when to stop heating?

I discuss how engineers make use of the different temperature of a mixture and a material property of magnets to control this batch process in an elegant, cost-effective way.

I was wondering exactly this for days and you’ve explained it to perfection, thank you!

Yes the simplicity of those things is amazing. And it works so well.

I've always wondered this but never took the time to find out... until today! Thank god the first google search link I clicked was concise! Good job explaining!

I had no idea materials could have a Curie temp as low as 100 C. That's great engineering.

The cook mode operates at full voltage to the heating element which is around 300 watts. The warm mode sends the voltage through a resistor before it passes through the heating element. Very ingenious invention
