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 (Cobalt Grey)

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.

Cooks basmati rice absolutely brilliantly. 250gr takes around 35mins. No standing over the stove and each batch comes out as good as the one before. Not tried any of the other features yet. This unit is very sturdy and well made. The only thing that lets it down is the rear condensation trap. It could do with being a little larger.

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.

Miglior acquisto del 2025. È incredibile, le cotture vengono perfette, la pulizia è facile e la programmazione puntualissima. I materiali interni e degli accessori sono molto validi, in particolare la ciotola interna per la cottura è davvero pregiata. La cuociriso è poco ingombrante, molto compatta e facile da spostare, molto bello il cavo di alimentazione rimovibile. Siamo molto soddisfatti di questo acquisto, è davvero comodissima da usare.

Works great so far. Read the instructions! It has a lot of info but it’s helpful and the rice cooker cooks perfectly if you use it correctly. And it bakes cakes?! I haven’t tried that yet but I’m intrigued.

Amazing device!

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.

Does the job without worries. Easy to handle.
