A rice warmer does not cook. It holds cooked rice at serving temperature, usually for up to 12 hours, so the cooker is free for the next batch and the rice can sit near the service line. Warmers draw about 100 W, so they run on any outlet. An insulated body and a hinged lid keep the rice from drying out.
