oh right, it doesn't autodetect on the models i've seen, so that is one thing to think about, but it has seemed pretty forgiving. just remember to 1:1 the water since it's sealed

if you're asian or whatever and make rice 10x times a week then a dedicated device is probably a good idea but if not then i'd think twice before getting something mechanically similar to but not as capable as a pressure cooker

Yes I hate the proliferation too - these pressure/multicookers must have a temperature sensor, and so all the program needs to do is switch to a 'warm mode' when the temperature exceeds 102-3C, ie that's when all the water has evaporated. Tempting to buy one and hack around with it.
