Product Information

Persian rice cookers also have a nonstick pot, an all-important feature in ensuring that the tahdig keeps its shape when its comes out of the pan (though the vegetable oil also helps). At the forefront of precision engineering, Pars Khazar products are not merely appliances; they embody a commitment to quality and ingenuity. Coming of age in separate environments that both invalidate your existence is demoralizing, and I was left without a core to support myself. We’ll also give you practical advice on choosing the right cooker, and tips on how to make your Iranian tahdig a sure-fire success. Even when I moved to New York City two years ago, I made plans to fly home for Nowruz — the Persian New Year — the following year.

You can serve Rice Cooker Baghali Polo with mahi, pan-fried salmon, braised chicken breasts, braised chicken thighs or braised beef. Measuring Cup: The best way to master cooking rice the Persian way is to have a trusted cup measurement and understand the portions it yields. I remember us talking about the difference between a Persian rice cooker, and say an Asian rice cooker.It’s always a tradition to make sure everyone at the table has received their piece before going for seconds. Pronounced "Tah-dig" actually translates to 'the bottom of the pot' in Farsi, a very popular staple in Persian cuisine. With my older cookers I sometimes just push the button down again and again until enough time has passed to get a crispy, golden crust. What’s great about this particular recipe is that you can skip all the complicated nuances of making Persian rice in a regular pot and go straight for the rice cooker to make your life a whole lot easier! However, if, like me, your one vice is eating rice from a Teflon-coated pan (and maybe drinking multiple Diet Cokes a day), you have everything to gain—and everyone to impress—with a tahdig-making rice cooker.

Staff credentials vary but include training at the Culinary Institute of America; kitchen stints in fine dining restaurants; and countless hours in the test kitchen itself.

Whether you’re seeking a culinary companion in the form of a state-of-the-art rice cooker or modern cleaning tools to streamline your household chores, Pars Khazar’s range delivers on both functionality and durability. Keep the rice on after the timer has hit 60 minutes and you'll get extra-crispy tahdig; keep it on for 45 minutes or less and you'll just get a standard pot of basmati rice.
