Yum AsiaSakura Rice Cooker with Ceramic Bowl and Advanced Fuzzy Logic (8 cup, 1.5 litre) 6 Rice Cook Functions, 6 Multicook Functions, Motouch LED Display, 220-240V UK/EU Power (Black and Silver)

This rice cooker is quite big (see the pics for measurements) but that also means it has a large capacity (up to 8 cups of white rice). It makes beautifully fluffy rice every time and couldn't be easier to use, simply measure the rice using the included measuring cup, wash it and then fill it up to the line on the bowl and then select the relevant function and that's it. Give the rice a stir with the included rice paddle after it's finished to fluff it up and that's all you need.The blue LCD screen is bright easy to read, even in full light in the kitchen. It's worth noting that the timer only appears during the final 10 minutes of cooking. This sounds worse than it is as once it's finished cooking it automatically switches to the "keep warm" mode which keeps the rice ready to serve for hours. Admittedly I've not yet pushed this to its limit and I'm sure theres a limit to how long the rice will stay good for, however its definitely still good for over 2 hours.I've been using this for about 2 months now and there's been no issues. I've cooked perfect white rice, brown rice, short grain (Thai sticky rice), tahdig (crust function) and even tried the cake function with a banana bread. It's not going to replace my oven for cakes any time soon but the rice functions have all been excellent every time. The bowl is super easy to clean as well, even when the rice was a little stuck on. Just a quick soak and it washes right off. The non stick is great, I was worried the tahdig would be a hassle but it slipped right out when it was cooked.It comes with a measuring cup, rice paddle, soup spoon, steaming basket and a utensil holder which clips on the cookers handle. The instruction booklet is useful and gives you rough times and some recipes for the different functions.All in all I would definitely recommend this if you have the counter space for it. It is definitely on the large side but I love it and it's not let me down yet!

I honestly wasn't expecting to be this impressed!! This rice cooker is amazing performance like no other. It's like a steamer for rice, makes it all fluffy and delicious. I bought this after my rice cooker broke and I'm glad it did because it was drying out the rice every time. If you are thinking about buying this product don't think just buy !! It will be money well spent. And it's not just for rice !! I bought the large one which costs more but cookes a LOT of rice. It looks rice super fast with count down indicator, easy to clean , hot rice which keeps walm after it's cooked. Its so easy to use which is great because i don't read instructions 😆 if you want sticky rice just move the rice around whith the spoon it comes with before the cooking time is complete. Going to buy my mum one for the birthday!!

We purchased this rice cooker to replace our old and outdated persian rice cooker. Couldn't be happier with the results, so simple to use and the design looks good on the worktop. There are plenty of cooking functions so will support different types of rice and ways to cook. Good investment.

I didn’t need another rice cooker – I already had a basic one that did the job. But I kept seeing people on Instagram using these fancier ones to make proper meals, and since I’ve got fatigue and struggle to eat regularly, I thought I’d try something that might make cooking easier.So far, it’s doing the job. I’ve made plain rice (came out great), turned the leftovers into egg fried rice, and did a one-pot meal with broccoli and salmon that actually tasted decent and took hardly any effort. Haven’t tried the multicooker functions yet, but I will. Still need to compare it properly to my slow cooker and Instant Pot.I also tried porridge. First attempt – disaster. I didn’t read the instructions properly, added milk at the start, and it boiled over. Nightmare to clean. Second go – cooked it with water, stirred milk in after, and it was perfect. Nicer than slow cooker porridge, weirdly.The main downside (and why I knocked a star off): the lid. You can only remove the inner bit, not the whole thing. After my porridge incident, cleaning around the fixed outer lid was a total faff. A removable full lid would’ve made life a lot easier.The manual is also a bit pants – ended up on YouTube to figure things out. But once you’ve got the basics down, it’s easy enough to use.Yes, it’s expensive, but if it keeps helping me make low-effort meals and lasts a few years, I’ll consider it money well spent.
