I'm not really sure, but I thought that rice cookers turned off when all the water was gone (absorbed and boiled off) and the temp got above 100C. Then, with lots of liquid to boil off, the cooker could heat for a long time and turn off when the fluid is gone.



My old rice cooker at least a had hold cycle that would keep the rice warm 'indefinitely' after it was done. I'm guessing this is what is being used to cook the ribs.


Mine has that feature also and I think you are right that this is what is slow cooking the ribs.
