Mastering the Cooking Key for a More Delicious Taste
In traditional rice cookers, after pressing the cooking button, you still need to soak the rice for a certain period before it starts cooking. After that, it requires simmering before consumption. With an IH rice cooker, the intense heat allows immediate and thorough cooking without the need for soaking. Enjoy delicious and chewy rice right after it's done cooking.
Diamond "Kamado"(鑽石竈釜) Unleashes Key to Delicious Rice
The high thermal conductivity of diamond particles enables direct heat transmission to the core of the rice; coupled with the special gold-coating, it enhances thermal conductivity and heat retention, rendering the rice brilliantly translucent with even heating, preserving its natural sweetness and delectable flavor.

High Praise and Recommendations
A Blessing for Busy Moms - Making Meals Effortless
Prepare cleaned and shredded Napa cabbage, sliced sausages, and white rice. Put them into the cooker and set it on the "Delicious Cooking" mode. When the time's up, open it, mix well, and it's ready to be served in bowls!
With the Panasonic IH rice cooker, the natural sweetness of the Napa cabbage and the richness of the sausages combine perfectly with the rice. My kids absolutely love it. Watching them happily devouring their meal brings me so much satisfaction.

A Culinary Novice's Best Helper - Professional Cooking Modes for Effortless Mastery
When cooking rice, my biggest concern is the risk of burnt bottoms or inaccurate water levels. With the IH rice cooker's cooking modes, precise settings mean I don't need to worry about ruining any rice dish. I can entrust it with even my most complex recipes!
The deliciously chewy rice grains, combined with the aroma of vegetables and salmon, greet me when I open the lid. The fragrance alone tempts me to eat several bowls!

Arrived in great condition and works perfectly! Highly recommend!
Delivery was quick to UK and came well packaged. Mum tried cooking sticky rice and thai jasmine rice and turned out really nice. It's defintely better than the pressure rise cooker we used to have. The rice grains are chewy and loose and doesn't stick to the bowl. Very happy with our new rice cooker.
