– Yum Asia Panda Mini Rice Cooker With Ninja Ceramic Bowl and Advanced Fuzzy Logic (3.5 cup, 0.63 litre) 4 Rice Cooking Functions, 4 Multicooker functions, LED display, 220-240V (White and Grey)

We use this at least 4 times a week. Honestly it is just as good as the product description details. We have been using it for a few months now and I would highly recommend it. The size is good for a small/medium kitchen ideal to be on the counter if used as regularly as we use it. Cook quality is great so easy to use and we have even been using the porridge setting with I’m not a huge fan of. The cooking pot is brilliant it’s easy to clean given it’s not dishwasher safe it cleans in just a few minutes even when it’s been sticky sauces. The ceramic coating allows you to wipe clean really nicely. The steam basket deceptively fits a lot in it great for adding veg to your rice dishes or to steam fruits for in porridge both taste amazing!

Oh boy, where do I begin. Let's start with the product 1. Easy to use? Absolutely, literally plug it in, put rice and water, press a button to select the type of cooking, start, forget about it, it will let you know when it's finished and then go to keep rice warm automatically 2. Size? Quite small, I'd compare it to my 4 bay toaster, it can fit in most spaces but if you don't use it daily like me, you can easily just store it somewhere. 3. Can it cook rice? Oh yes it can, and soup too apparently but I haven't tested that yet. The only "issue" I have is trying to get the measurements right, or maybe I need to buy a different brand of rice, because it always ends up a bit "sticky". Not horribly so, the rice still tastes absolutely great, but sometimes I want fluffy rice that doesn't clump unless you press it, but I don't think that's the machine's fault. 4. Is it fast? Oh yes! It depends on the type and quantity of rice you're making but 1 cup of rice it's usually 15-20 mins, perfect to start working on the rest of your stir-fry. 5. Does it taste good? I literally can't tell the difference between this or restaurant made. I mean, sure, they can make the whole dish better than I can at home, but just the rice itself? As good as any I've ever had at any restaurant worth its salt. Now, the personal stuff. Really, I regret not buying one sooner, like... I've been wasting my life having to try and cook rice in a pot and almost ALWAYS do something wrong about it. Either some got stuck to the bottom, either too wet, not enough fluff, temperature was too high/low, the list goes on. Seriously, if you do rice even 2 times a week, this is worth it! Now for a "warning" bit. Nothing wrong just a word of advice, as all that steam needs to escape somewhere, and it does, through a little vent on the top of the device, so don't put it underneath other stuff, especially cupboards or such in the kitchen. Let that steam just rise all the way up. However, you can use this as a great opportunity to clean the bottom of those suspended wall-mounted cupboards, by letting the steam melt down all the grease and dirt that went on over the years, so maybe it's a good thing?

I always thought cooking rice in a pan was easy, so why waste money on a rice cooker. Boy was I wrong! The rice comes out perfect every time, just set the type of rice and the machine does the rest. The keep warm function doesn't dry it out either. The instructions are very easy to follow and it's very easy to clean. If you have never used a rice cooker before do make sure you use the measuring cup that comes with it, as the cup size is different to standard UK/US measurements. So overall I'm extremely happy with this little appliance. Well worth the money.

I’ve been using the Panda Mini for about 2 months now, and it’s become one of my favourite kitchen gadgets. It might look cute, but it packs serious functionality. What I really like: Fluffy, consistent rice — No matter whether I’m cooking jasmine, basmati, or short grain, the fuzzy logic handles it beautifully. I rarely get undercooked or mushy rice. Easy to use — “Set and forget” is exactly what it feels like. Just add the rice and water, choose the setting, and it gets to work. Great fit for small households — With its 3.5-cup (uncooked) capacity, it’s ideal for 1–3 people. I don’t have to worry about large, unused portions. Keeps rice warm well — Even if dinner’s delayed, the “keep warm” function holds rice without drying it out. (This lines up with what others have observed too.) Easy cleanup — The Ninja ceramic inner bowl is nonstick and makes washing really simple. Nice extra functions — I often use the steam, porridge, or slow cook modes when I want more than just rice. What could be better / things I noticed: Cook times are not always fast — On “normal” mode it takes a while, so you need to plan ahead. (That said, there is a quicker mode, but results differ slightly.) Steam basket is shallow — When I try to steam a load of veggies, it’s not as roomy as I’d like. Others have mentioned the same limitation. Footprint in storage — It’s compact, but still has a bit of height, so I end up keeping it out on the counter. My verdict: For anyone cooking for one to three people (or just wanting perfect rice without fuss), this is a solid pick. It balances performance, convenience, and build quality well. It’s not flawless, especially if you push it with large steam loads or want blazing speeds, but for everyday use it delivers.

This makes cooking rice so easy to do. This rice cooker consistently delivers perfectly cooked rice, taking all the guesswork out of the process compared to traditional stovetop methods. It is also relatively cheap, so I don’t understand the point of spending a lot more money on one when the result will only be fractionally better. The interface is straightforward and user-friendly, making it easy to operate right out of the box. While the instruction manual could be clearer when it comes to measuring water and rice ratios, a quick online search easily resolves any confusion. Cleanup is also very easy with detachable parts that make disassembly simple, and the non-stick inner pot prevents any rice from sticking, making washing up quick and effortless.

It's a modern Rice cooker. It's very compact size, stylish and usage is very simple. We used twice. First time we followed the instruction exactly for water level. The cooked rice was slightly not cooked properly. So the second time we increased the water level and it was okay. Anyone using need to read the instruction throughly and adjust the water level according to the individual need.

This is a fantastic rice cooker. Stylish, effective and easy to use, it ticks all the boxes for me. The sleek white minimalistic design and shape makes it look very futuristic and blends well in any kitchen. It's very lightweight and the size of it makes it surprisingly easy to store away after use. Compared to my last rice cooker, this is around 2/3rd the size and weight, which makes it much more convenient. It does however, still feel very durable and of excellent quality with a sturdy shell and inner basket. It's very easy to use. The manual is quite extensive for multiple different options, but the basic use of it is very simple. It comes with a small cup to put your rice in and the inside of the cooker shows the water level needed for the amount of rice, which makes it very easy to get the right quantity. There's a steam filter which you can also use to steam vegetables. It's easy to use with the panel, select the option you want and start it up, very simple and quick. The display shows when it is cooking and then when it has 10 minutes left, and beeps when it's done. You can easily leave this without supervision, which is one of my favourite features of a rice cooker, and there's not been any mess at all when using it and leaving it. The quality of the rice is excellent, really lovely and fluffy, especially if you wash it well beforehand. It takes around 30-40 minutes for a couple of portions, which is good for the quality cook you get with this. It's got lots of different options for different types of rice, which makes this very versatile, and the vegetable steaming also works great. Everything smells good and the steam clears away nicely by running it underneath the ventilation. I've found it's nice and easy to clean out with the non-stick basket inside, mainly with a rinse out first then in the dishwasher gets it spotless. This is very pricey compared to more basic rice cookers I've seen, but it's definitely worth it if you can afford it and you eat rice regularly. The quality is far superior to other cookers I've used and the design is much sleeker and more convenient for storage. A first rate item. Highly recommended.

Bought this to replace our very old spring loaded rice cooker, on the recommendation of someone on instagram who uses one a lot (not an ad, a genuine recommendation). I might be being hyperbolic but this rice cooker has changed my life 😂 Absolutely obsessed with it. The rice comes out perfect every time, its easy to use, easy to clean, and the ability to just ‘set and go’ is great. It definitely takes longer than a pan, but it keeps it warm so you could steam it in advance if needed, or set the timer (which I haven't tried yet). If you're considering buying one, Id highly recommend. Perfect for 2 people but could easily do a family of 4 (I usually do enough for leftovers/meal prep with 2 cups) if you also wanted to co-steam in the basket though, you’d only really be able to do enough rice for a single meal. Jesus what a diatribe about a rice cooker - totally worth it, would recommend to anyone who eats rice frequently.

Idealny ryżowar dla 2-3 osób. A jak trzeba to ogarnie nawet małą imprezkę urodzinową. Ryż zawsze wychodzi idealny a czyszczenie jest bardzo łatwe. To jest taki sam lvl jak japońskie ryżowary, nie ma co przepłacać. Polecam!

È semplicemente perfetta per chi ha poco tempo. Un limite definirla cuociriso perché si possono fare minestre di verdura, porridge perfetti, yogurt, cottura a vapore, torta margherita. Cottura ceci perfetta ( ovviamente con ammollo precedente) in 40 minuti. Si pesa , si accende e via fa tutto da sola. Facile da pulire. Dimensioni compatte è fatta per stare sempre sul piano cucina. Ideale da uno a tre persone al massimo. Ho impiegato mesi prima di decidere ma devo dire che vale ampiamente il prezzo. Se fate la torta non aspettatevi la parte alta dorata , ma i lati e il fondo si. E il sapore e la cottura sono perfetti.

Design The Yum Asia Panda Mini Rice Cooker looks great, wipes clean easily (inside and out) and is well designed to fit into small kitchens with not much extra space. The layout of the menu screen and buttons is logical and easy to use. Functions I have used the rice settings and the cake setting so far, and both were impressive. The cooker is very quiet in both modes. The rice came out perfectly cooked, and the "keep warm" function keeps it that way while you finish cooking the rest of the meal. Making a cake in the rice cooker was very easy and it's perfect for small, moist, dense cakes. It also means you can cook during summer without heating up your kitchen by using the oven! I'm excited to try different recipes in this cooker. Overall + Small, easily stored + Makes enough rice for 4 ppl + Quiet, not too much steam + Perfectly cooked rice + Easy to use settings + Easy clean + Inspires you to try new things + Manual includes clear cooking instructions, tips for different foods, and starter recipes.

J'ai hésité au vu du prix et de la petite taille, mais je suis ravi d'avoir sauté le pas. La cuisson est parfaite, que ce soit du riz long ou du riz rond. Le design est soigné et le nettoyage est simple. La notice est disponible en plusieurs langues dont le français — et pas traduite avec Google Trad. Il y a même quelques recettes incluses. Je redécouvre le vrai goût du riz et je ne rate plus mes sushis ! Les accessoires sont simples mais de bonne qualité. Idéal pour 1 à 3 personnes.

Miałem problem z tanim ryżowarem, iż od spodu przyklejał i brązowił się ryż. Tutaj przy nalaniu wody do linii ryż wychodzi świetnie. Funkcja keep warm z czasem wysusza ryż, ale nawet po 9ciu godzinach nie jest źle. Polecam z ryżem jaśminowym.
