== == The preparation of rice has traditionally been a cooking process which requires attention to ensure the rice is cooked properly. Rice cookers simplify the process by automatically controlling the heat and timing, while at the same time freeing up a heating element on the range. Although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process, the cook's involvement in cooking rice with a rice cooker is reduced to simply using the correct amount of water. Once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked with no further attention.
Typically, a rice cooker contains an insulated outer container containing a heating element, into which is fitted an inner removable bowl, which is sometimes non-stick or Teflon-coated, which often has graduations marked in cupsof rice (white). Whereas less expensive and older models use simple electronics and mechanical and thermal sensors, high-end rice cookers use microprocessors with fuzzy logic to control the cooking process [1] and often incorporate a timer which can be used to set the desired "ready time". Many rice cookers can keep rice warm safely for up to 24 hours. This helps to avoid the dangers of food poisoning due to ''Bacillus cereus. New rice cookers normally include a small measuring cup, and a plastic paddlefor serving the cooked rice. The rice cup measure is normally 180 ml, approximately 25% smaller than the western measuring cup of 8 (US) fluid ounces / 250 ml.'' Restaurants that serve a lot of rice, particularly those specializing in Asian cuisine, often use industrial size rice cookers that quickly and cheaply produce large quantities of cooked rice. A rice cooker is a standard appliance in kitchens in many Asian countries and in many Asian households; indeed a recent survey showed that over 95% of Japanese kitchens feature such a device[2]. === ===

What happens to a grain of rice when a strong wind carries it away?
Depends on whether it has been processed/polished or not. White rice has been processed and can no longer germinate (grow into a new plant) so it will simply rot in whatever place the wind has carried it. If it is an unprocessed grain of rice it is possible that wherever it lands, if it has enough water and nutrients, it will grow into a new rice plant.
Why are refined grains nutritionally inferior to whole grains?
processed rice is where the factory takes out all of the nutrients and use a chemical to cahnge the color of the rice. whole wheat rice/Brown rice is where they do not process it and they leave the essential nutrients that rice has.

Which state invented brown rice?
Brown rice was not invented. Brown rice is a product of milling rice without polishing off the natural rice bran layer. Only the husk is removed. Rice bran is normally brown in color. Some varieties of rice have black, violet or red bran layers therefore are called as such. Ancient people ate brown rice because the polisher wasn't invented yet and rice was kept in the husk and processed only before eating . Today millions of tons of rice are processed into white rice. Why? Brown rice spoils in 6 months because of the oil in the bran. If you don't keep them in the husk they oxidize.
Is brown rice and example of a refined grain?
