If the Preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will Start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with
additional assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.

1.5 hrs to 24 hrs
Note – be aware that perishable foods should not be left for long periods of time when you have set the 'Preset'
function as they may spoil.
The Start time of the Preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Tsuki has to
assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can 'assess' the
contents.

YUMAMI FUNCTION EXPLAINED
Yumami or 'extra tasty' rice function on Tsuki enhances the flavour of any type of white rice by using a specially
designed cooking cycle. It does this by using a sequence of soaking and steaming to release the sugars
contained in the rice. These sugars are then reabsorbed back into the rice as a different chemical structure and
can attach to the surface of the rice. This change in sugar chemistry can then activate Umami receptors of the
tongue. The result is more flavourful rice with improved texture and taste.
Usually the rice produced is fluffier, softer and sweeter (depending on the type of white grain used). The full
cooking time, including the special soaking and steaming, for the Yumami function on Tsuki is between 1 hour and
1 hour, 10 minutes.
NOTE – due to the unique properties of Tsuki's natural, handmade ceramic inner bowl, cooking only 1 cup of rice
may result in some slight crusting. The Yumami function therefore works better with 2 or 2.5 cups of rice.
