Cuckoo Electronics announced the release of its new ‘Silence Urban Rice Cooker,’ which significantly reduces operational noise, on Monday.

According to the Korean lifestyle appliance company, the new cooker features Cuckoo’s patented Silent Pressure System, which uses an embedded cylinder that controls pressure with precision to maintain a consistent level of pressure and heat. The steam passage has also been widened to reduce noise even further.

The cooker also includes a Silence Steam Shield that keeps cooking sounds inside, resulting in a noise level of just 37.3 decibels or equivalent to a whisper. The rice cooker is additionally equipped with Twin Pressure technology, allowing users to choose between ‘High-Pressure Mode’ for sticky rice and ‘Non-Pressure Mode’ for a fluffier texture.
