Pars Rice Cooker

This cooker is specifically engineered to create tahdig, the crispy, golden-brown crust that forms at the bottom of the rice pot. It features a specialized timer that allows you to control the duration of the cooking cycle, which is essential for achieving that perfect crunch without burning the rice.

The 20-cup capacity refers to the volume of raw rice the cooker can handle. Keep in mind that rice expands significantly during cooking, so this unit is best suited for large family meals or hosting gatherings.

While the inner pot is non-stick and dishwasher safe, we recommend using the included rice scoop or a silicone utensil to preserve the coating. Avoid using metal spoons or abrasive scrubbers, as these can scratch the surface and reduce its lifespan.

While it is primarily designed for Persian-style rice and tahdig, the steam cooking function is versatile enough to handle other grains and vegetables. However, the timer is calibrated specifically for rice, so you will need to monitor other ingredients closely to prevent overcooking.

Yes, the keep-warm function is intended to maintain the temperature of the fluffy rice above the crust. If you leave the cooker on keep-warm for an extended period, the tahdig may continue to darken or harden, so it is best to serve the rice shortly after the cycle finishes.

Yes, this unit operates on 110 volts, making it fully compatible with standard household electrical outlets in the United States and Canada.
