TODO: look through other Panasonic model's .pdf manuals, to see if other manuals explain the "soup function" and other things better.

• The manual is opaque. This is okay if you're already familiar with rice cookers, but a problem if you're new. Other people online have agreed.
• It doesn't have a congee mode. however, is it possible to use one of the below modes?
  • soup mode? The subtitle of the Sanyo ECJN100W seems to suggest that soup+porridge modes are interchangable?

Modes

• White rice mode (also use for mixed rice, glutinous rice)
  The temperature sensor in the bottom waits for the temperature to rise to 100°C, this indicates that the water is now boiling. It then waits for the temperature to go above 100°C, this indicates that the water completely boiled off. At this point, it either switches off, or switches to the keep-warm mode.
• Brown rice mode
  Manual page4 says that it always takes 1 hour. So how does it work then? I assume it still bases some decisions on the "finished boiling off all water" trigger?
• Soup mode
  It automatically finishes. How does it know how long to cook for?? Page4 of the manula says it always cooks for exactly 1 hour?
• Cake mode

• Slow-cook mode

• Steam mode
