If you look around your house you will see several examples of fuzzy logic in action. Products like shower heads, washing machines, air conditioners and even rice cookers use fuzzy logic.
Wiktionary states that Fuzzy Logic is “A form of reasoning, derived from fuzzy set theory, whereby a truth value need not be exactly zero (false) or one (true), but rather can be zero, one, or any value in between.” But what does that mean for regular people?
Fuzzy Logic Examples
Take the common expression that asks if the glass is half empty or if it is half full. Well discrete logic or on/off logic, has two options for the answer. Either the answer is the glass if half full or the glass is half empty. If we apply fuzzy logic to the problem the answer can be almost anything. We can say its 0.1 empty or 0.8 full.
Another example of this kind of logic could be in fuzzy logic washing machines. The old on/off washing machines would use a mechanical timer to go through its various cycles, like wash , rinse and spin, thus resulting in length of wash time to be the same everytime. The only problem with his is that it didn’t take into account how “dirty” the clothes were. Modern washing machines on the other hand, have various sensors to detect how dirty or greasy clothes are which allow it to control and adjust rinse time, water temperature, spin spee and so on, thus resulting in cleaner clothes. Just imagine a cooker using fuzzy logic can do for rice?
How does fuzzy logic result in perfect rice??
A digital rice cooker using fuzzy logic essentially acts as a highly trained chef would. It monitors and adjusts the cooking time and cooking temperature depending on the type of rice in the pot and also by using its sensors to measure moisture in the rice that is cooking. Just like a pro chef, you’ll get perfect rice everytime.
There are several things to keep in mind when choosing a rice cooker. When you are pricing it out you will need to know what additional features will you require from your digital rice cooker. The brand of this kitchen appliance is
also important. The size that you will need is another component of your choice. What kind of material the inner pot is another thing to consider.
Consider what features you will need
Brand of Rice Cooker
Several brands have high reputations when it comes to rice cookers. Companies like Zojirushi, Tiger, Sanyo and National or Panasonic produce high quality and reliable rice cookers. In particular try to find models that are made in Japan.
Size of Rice Cooker
Fuzzy logic rice cookers come in all sizes. You can get as small as 1 cup, or as big as 3 cup, 4 cup, 5 cup, 6 cup, 10 cup and all the way up to a massive 20 cup rice cooker. When choosing the size, determine how many people you need to cook for and how often in a day you will be eating rice.
Also think of the counter space you may have in order to accommodate your rice cooker as this may also play a factor.
Material of Inner Pot
Maybe you’ll want an non-stick inner pot for easier cleanup. Perhaps you want some material that is naturally non stick like clay or charcoal. Perhaps the cooker requires a stainless steel pot. Or maybe you want induction heating, so you’ll need a copper pot.
There are many things to look for in a rice cooker. Try to choose carefully as for me, the fuzzy logic logic rice cooker is the best kitchen appliance. I could live without a food processor, blender or even microwave, but I could not live without my Rice Cooker.
There are many types of rice cookers as you can cook rice in a variety of different ways, using a sauce pan or using a rice steamer or rice cooker. The most easiest way is by using a on/off rice cooker or the ultra fuzzy logic rice cooker
