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 (Arctic White)

I will start by saying that this is small. But mighty. It cooks the rice to perfection and fluffy. We have always wanted on of these rice cookers but was always bias about trying them. My wife and I eat a lot of rice and this was the perfect choice for us as there is only two of us. We only use one cup of rice at a time as that is plenty for us two. It is so easy to follow the instructions as the manual that comes with it is very informative and before you know it with just a few button presses you will be cooking rice in no time at all. I just love everything about this Yum Panda rice cooker. The clean up is great the top steem housing, Inner lid plate, Bowl and drip cap at the rear all can be removed for easy cleaning. It comes with a detachable power cord and that I like as it can be tucked away in my kitchen draw with the supplied utensils. Once I have cleaned it up up I leave the measuring jug supplied inside the unit just for the next time. The display is bright and clear and easy to read and follow. The Panda cooker tooks away in the corner of my worktop as it has a small footprint. There is a steaming basket that comes with it to but I have not used it yet. All in all This was one of our best buy's of the year.

The Yum Asia Panda Mini has completely transformed how I cook. I’ve used it every single day since it arrived and it genuinely couldn’t be easier to operate. The results are consistently great, the size is perfect for everyday meals, and it’s taken all the hassle out of making rice. I’m so impressed that I’ll be recommending it to family and friends without hesitation. A brilliant little machine.

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.

I am absolutely rubbish at making rice, I can never get it just right, this little machine however made it to perfection!!! The rice was lovely and fluffy!! Smelt good while cooking. I will defo be having more rice now, it’s just dead easy!! Follow the instructions, cups of rice to cups of water, turn it on and away you go. While it may take longer to cook than if you did it yourself, this doesn’t bother me as I can just prep everything else I need for my meal while this is cooking but that might not suit everyone. as it’s only small, it doesn’t take up much room and the buttons are easy to control and navigate. I love it!!! You can also steam in it too.

I finally caved and got this little rice cooker after putting it off for a while. This compact gem is perfect for my tiny kitchen, approximately the size of a compact CD player, remember those? Suitable for preparing dishes for 1-3 people. I'd been worried that adding a rice cooker to my arsenal of Kitchen appliances would be a waste of money for a single use appliance. I was surprised to learn It's like the Swiss Army knife of rice cookers – not only does it nail rice dishes, but it also handles steamed meats, veggies, soups, stews, and even cakes. Yes, cakes! Who knew? I certainly didn't. The best part? It's ridiculously easy to use. I mean, if I can do it without calling for my mum for help, anyone can. Whether you're a kitchen novice, pressed for time or just tight on space, this versatile little guy is a game-changer. Highly recommend!

It's such an easy thing to use, and it delivers perfectly cooked rice every single time. I always cooked microwave rice beforehand as I didn't have a lot of time, but that started to get expensive as I eat a lot of rice. However, since using the mini rice cooker, I can just measure out the rice, top it up with the required amount of water and set it and forget it, and it'll keep the rice warm for me until I am ready to eat it. It takes up barely any counter space which is great for me as I have a rather small kitchen and a collection of kitchen gadgets already, so if you're struggling for counter space I'd definitely recommend it.

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.

Excellent rice cooker --- spend the extra money for this over other brands. I did a lot of research and considered a number of options, but after reading many reviews, I decided to purchase this one. Easy to use and clean. Really good instructions and guidance included. Does an excellent job cooking various kinds of rice - and over 10 uses have all turned out perfectly. Nice that you can use timers, but also set it to cook and not worry about it, plus the "keep warm function."
