Yum Asia Panda Mini Rice Cooker With Ninja Ceramic Bowl and Advanced Fuzzy Logic 3.5 cup, 4 Multicooker functions, 0.63 Liter 4 Rice Cooking Functions

Panda has a small footprint but is big on functionality - it's ideal for smaller kitchens, individuals or couples. It might be cute, but we have made sure that functionality is not affected and have packed Panda full of essential rice cooking functions and useful add on multi functions. Our advanced fuzzy logic (AI) technology controls the temperature for the efficient and perfect cooking of many different types of rice. You can cook long grain, short grain (including sushi and glutinous rice), brown rice (short or long grain). Panda doesn't just cook perfect rice, it cooks other grains like quinoa, cous cous, millet and pearl barley perfectly too. The add on functions include porridge that can be used for rice porridge or oat porridge, slow cook, steam (food grade steam basket included) and cake baking. Panda is designed to be used in the US as it is ETL approved for this (rated 120V, 60Hz power) and is supplied with a US plug.

Panda's functions use advanced fuzzy logic technology (AI) to control the temperature for the efficient cooking of all different types of rice including long grain, short grain (sushi), brown rice and a quick cook option for if you want the rice cooked a little faster. Panda is designed to cook rice using over at least 7 phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain nutrients, aroma, texture and give a great taste. This phased cooking allows adjustments in temperature all controlled by Panda's AI processor so you don't have to do the thinking. When the food is ready, Panda then counts down the final 10 minutes of cooking so you can see exactly when your rice is going to be ready to serve!

Yum Asia's rice cookers have a 24 hours automatic keep warm - it keeps rice at an ideal serving temperature until it's ready to be served. There is a countdown indicator during the cooking cycle and when the rice is cooked a beep sounds and the cooker automatically shifts to keep warm mode. This keep warm temperature has been designed to be optimal for safe rice preservation. For added convenience, there is a pre-set time function which can be set up to 24 hours in advance, so you can have delicious rice ready for when you come in from work or steaming hot porridge waiting on a cold winter's morning.

Panda has unique Asian styling with a tough, hard-wearing and easy to clean exterior. It has a Korean designed 'Smart Button' control panel with a large, cool ice white clear and bright LED display all packed into an extremely kawaii (cute) thermopolymer body and white carry handle. The small footprint of Panda means that it can fit in even the smallest of kitchens and is perfect for individuals and couples.

We have designed every aspect of Panda with our customers in mind and decided to include a hard-wearing, 5 layer Ninja inner bowl with a 2mm thick ceramic coating which is BPA, PTFE and PFOA free. The stainless steel inner lid, steam cap and condensation collector are all removable for easy cleaning and to ensure no mess and good hygiene.

Panda uses advanced fuzzy logic (AI) to ensure rice is cooked perfectly every time. The graph above shows how our fuzzy logic / AI processor adjusts the temperature using the weight and detecting the heat inside the cooker along with pre-programmed conditions to cook rice on a typical cooking cycle.

Panda also uses at least 7 phases of cooking which includes preheat, absorb water, heating, boiling, steam, cool down and keep warm with steam which are each calculated for time and temperature using the advanced fuzzy logic to create the perfect rice for your meal.

'We are the rice cooking experts!'

At Yum Asia we love Asian food but found that the biggest problem is that we couldn't replicate the perfect rice we found when we were in restaurants! No matter how hard we tried, rice cooked in a saucepan just wasn't the same. After some really disastrous purchases of non-fuzzy logic rice cookers, which rather than cooking the perfect rice we were looking for, just spat out starchy water all over our kitchen worktop, we bought a fuzzy logic rice cooker and it changed the way we cook completely. From 2006 onward we coined the phrase 'Perfect rice at the touch of a button'.
