The Prestige rice cooker automatically switches to "keep warm" mode after the rice is cooked. No additional steps are required to keep your food warm.
Here's a breakdown of how the "keep warm" function works:
- Automatic Switching: Once the rice cooking cycle is complete, the control switch lever automatically moves to the "warm" position. This is indicated by the "warm" indicator light turning on.
- Temperature Maintenance: The rice cooker maintains a low, consistent temperature ideal for keeping the food warm without burning or overcooking it.
- No Manual Adjustment Needed: You don't need to manually adjust the settings. The Prestige rice cooker is designed to handle the transition from cooking to warming automatically.
Important Considerations:
- Duration: While the "keep warm" function is useful, it's not designed for extremely long durations. Keeping rice warm for an extended period (e.g., several hours) might dry it out.
- Food Safety: Always ensure food is kept at a safe temperature to prevent bacterial growth.
- Type of Food: While primarily designed for rice, the "keep warm" function can be used for other foods. However, consider the food type and potential for drying out.
