Overview
Measure rice into the inner pot, choose white, brown or flash rice, and the cooker runs the cycle and drops to keep warm on its own. A steam tray rests above the rice for vegetables or meat during the same cycle, and the slow cook function turns the pot into a slow cooker for stews.
Three jobs in one pot is the point: rice, steaming above it, and slow cooking, all driven by a digital panel with a delay timer. Flash rice shortens the cycle for grains that otherwise take long. Cleanup is hand wash only, and the lower end of the rice range is still a family quantity.
Who it's for
Built for a household that fills the pot and wants rice ready on a timer, with vegetables steamed on top. Cooks who prefer a small pot for one or two servings, or who want the inner pot in the dishwasher, should pass.
Pros and cons
- Rice, steam and slow cook in one

- Not smart home compatible
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Rice quality comes from the preset cycles: the white and brown settings run different timings for the grain, and the cooker drops to keep warm when the cycle ends so the rice holds without scorching. Flash rice compresses the cycle for a faster result on tougher grains. The steam tray rests above the rice and cooks from the same heat, so steaming runs alongside a rice cycle, while the slow cook function runs the same pot as a slow cooker for stews.
