Moose, you are right. Here in Hong Kong I think more than 99% of family has
an electric rice cooker. We use 1:1 rice to water for cooking.
The very old rice cookers use aluminium pot, the later one (many years ago)
have teflon coating to prevent "burnt rice" surrounding the pot. Now you
get induction heating, copper layered pot with fluorocarbon resin coating
at 5 times the price of a normal one.
