Cloud Gate's 'Rice' is a timeless puzzle

Members of the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan's perform in a segment titled "Grain" during the dance production of "Rice" at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Music Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 2016.

Like many rice makers, my Japanese model has a button labeled "Quick." How quick I couldn't say: I've never tried it. My instinct is that rice shouldn't be rushed. I always use the slowest setting, which requires nearly four hours for the rice to cook.

The machine's instructions recommend a 10-minute ritual of soaking and rinsing the rice. Then the rice maker's fuzzy logic does its intriguing work. The result is invariably mysterious and delicious.
