A rice cooker or rice steamer is a container or kitchen appliance dedicated to cooking rice. The bowl in the rice cooker is usually removable; beneath it there is a heater and thermostat. A spring pushes the thermostat against the bottom of the bowl for good thermal contact. During cooking the rice/water mixture is heated at full power. By the end of cooking there will be no free water left; most will have been absorbed by the rice, and some boiled off.
