Old-fashioned rice cookers are extremely clever


This can all be summed up in a sentence, @ 7:02, "a magnet holds the latch down to keep the cooker cooking, until the temperature rises just above boiling temperature, at which point this magnet reaches its "Curie temperature," at which it loses its magnetic strength and releases the latch."

I suppose at high altitude, the rice wouldn't cook as well at a lower boiling temperature, but the rice cooker would still turn off once it reaches the higher temperature after the water has boiled away.
