   "smart mini rice cooker"
   
   How about a big dumb one?
   
   We had a 3 kW or something before and all of them are now < 1 kW and take forever.

     @silkevicious Sure! Heat the water to a boil and boil it off us a fixed amount of energy!
     
     Doing it slower and for longer probably even leaks more heat.

     @clacke and i suppose they use the same amount of energy at the end of the process

     @silkevicious Yeah I already 100% suspected this is why all the rice cookers at the shop are underpowered.
     
     So sad that the old one broke.

     @andy Heh. It probably wasn't quite that high, maybe a slight exaggeration, but I know there are kettles that go about that high. The outlet is 13A * 240 V = 3.12 kW. Probably most stick to below 6A though, so that'd be 1.44 kW.
     
     The rice cookers in the online shop are rated in three segments, where the highest is "> 350 W" and the old cooker was certainly closer to 1.44 kW than to the bottom of that bracket.

     @clacke @silkevicious @me @noa Saw one of these massive ones the other day in a food court that was close to your initial spec.
     
     They're locally made like this one 👇
     
     
     
     Although you might have to rewire your kitchen, if you want to use it at home 😄
