    Rice cookers also use some pretty cool physics to know when to stop heating. What other kitchen appliance uses both latent heat of vaporisation and Curie (loss-of-magnetization) temperatures! The latter is a quantum effect BTW, rice cookers (at least the analog “dumb” ones) use quantum mechanics! Well I guess the digital ones do too, since semiconductors are also quantum.

    What an I going on about? https://yewtu.be/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI
