Rice cookers with documented controlled Open Cooking
If you need a documented controlled opening during cooking, the Cuckoo CRP-LHTR1009F gives a known 1–6-cup non-pressure White route; the LHTAR0609F's steel-pot White/Open plan also supports the operation, but its upper amount is unconfirmed. Neither permission means it is safe to open an active pressure cycle.
- The exact selected method must document controlled opening for ingredients.
- Use the maker's indicator and sequence; do not open a pressure cook while pressurized.
- An unknown batch ceiling remains unconfirmed.

Controlled opening is not open-lid heating
The option refers to the maker's prescribed mid-cycle ingredient-opening process. Follow the exact unlock indicator and cooking sequence in that model's manual; it does not authorize opening while a pressure cycle is active or cooking with the lid left open.
Check the exact recipe and amount
The LHTR1009F White/Open route is non-pressure and covers 1–6 supplied cups. The LHTAR0609F White/Open route is also non-pressure and documents a one-cup minimum, but no upper amount is confirmed; its separate pressure menu cannot fill that gap.
Choose the proper pressure mode
For a White meal that uses controlled opening, the supported examples are non-pressure methods. If you need a high-pressure cooking plan, do not combine that request with Open Cooking unless the exact manual confirms that same intersection.
Questions that change the choice
Can I open a pressure cooker while it is under pressure?
No. Controlled Open Cooking is a maker-directed procedure for a documented non-pressure method here; it is not permission to open an active pressure cycle. Follow the exact manual and its safety indicators.
How much rice can I make on the LHTAR Open Cooking route?
The cited manual establishes a one-cup minimum but leaves the upper quantity unconfirmed. Do not use the high-pressure White maximum as the missing non-pressure limit.
