01 · The method

Built on a method Tamil kitchens have used for centuries

Boil the rice in plenty of water, drain the kanji, let the grains rest. Sangam poets wrote of drained rice-water running like rivers through the streets of Puhar. ORYZA follows the same pattern, without lifting a hot pot.

02 · The build

Food-grade SS304 where it touches your rice

The cooking vessel and strainer that hold your food are food-grade SS304 stainless steel. Outside, a solid powder-coated steel body in graphite with an amber band, built to take everyday use.

03 · The display

Tells you what it's doing

Mode, starch setting and time left, in plain words. Three buttons sit under it: Schedule, Cook and Warm.

04 · The knob

Six modes, one turn

Graphite anodised aluminium with a knurled grip. Light Rice is the first stop. No menus to dig through.

05 · The lid

Lifts straight off

No hinge to clean around. When the rice is done, a lifter raises the strainer vessel out of the pot.

ORYZA 1 is our only product for now. More Gantham products are planned, and we will share them here as they get closer.

How it works · 1

Cook

Rice boils in plenty of water, the way your mother made it.

How it works · 2

Detect

ORYZA watches the cook and picks the moment to drain for that grain.

How it works · 3

Separate

The strainer vessel holds the grains away from the water.

How it works · 4

Drain

The starchy water goes out. Nobody tilts a hot pot over the sink.

How it works · 5

Finish

The grains steam dry so they come out separate and light.
