Hi, thanks for looking at my post.

The Rice cooker in question is from China where they use 220 volt 50
hertz. I want to hook it up to 220 volt 60 hertz.

should be fine.

In case you've never seen a rice cooker, it has a paddle switch that
you press down to put it into "cooking mode" and then after a time the
switch moves by itself to "keep warm" mode. This one also has a toggle
switch for cooking "rice" or "soup."

I'm pretty sure the heating element won't mind the different frequency
but do you think the timer or whatever it is that moves the switch will
be adversely affected?

the one I saw had a heat sensor that did that... (it was spring-loaded to
contact the base of the cooking vessel)

if it's done with a synchronous timer you may find that it turns down the heat
too soon.
