Yum Asia Tsuki Mini Rice Cooker with Shinsei Ceramic Bowl (2.5 cups, 0.45 litre) 5 Rice Cooking Functions, 2 Multicooker Functions, Hidden LED Display, 220-240V UK (Pebble White)

This is probably the best mini rice cooker for 1 person, without breaking a bank. I love the ceramic inner bowl, and the utensils it comes with. The device is very compact, perfect for small kitchens or if you have little storage space, and it looks beautiful. The control panel is easy to read and use, and because it is like-touch control, it's easy to clean. Most importantly, it cooks perfect rice for 1-2 people. This is the only rice cooker I found to be able to perfectly cook a small single portion of rice (half a cup of uncooked rice, about 90ml). I really needed it just for that, single portion of rice, as I have a full size multicooker, which I love, and which can cook, steam, roast and bake a variety of dishes, but the minimum amount of rice in my multicooker is just too much for myself. This Tsuki cooker can also handle other pulses, like pearl barley, and can be used as a clay pot. The keep warm function does work for 24 hrs, although I found it is best to use the cooked food within 12-15 hours. After cooking, all it needs is just a wipe with a damp cloth on the inner lid and rim, and wash clean the ceramic bowl. The power cord detaches from the unit, and can be stored inside the bowl when not in use. This little beauty is worth every penny.

Perfect size for 2 people. Could easily do 3/4. Great for the price. Makes very fluffy voluminous rice. But also does good porridge.

I love the design, its easy to clean and maintain and look nice. I haven't had it long and I have only cooked basmati rice with it so far, but the rice came out perfectly. Its also easy and simple to use. It looks and feels well made, but time will be the true judge of that.

There are two major advantages with this machine. Firstly, the rice is perfectly cooked and will keep warm for hours, and secondly it has a ceramic bowl which just needs a wipe. No more sticky pans to clean. This machine also has a cute compact design. The only fly in the ointment is the ridiculously dim display on the front. These days modern kit has these super bright clear led displays but this baby is barely visible in daylight. Also worth noting that due to its compact size it will do a max of three portions of brown rice but 5 of white.

Love this rice cooker! I got it as I grew sick of my badly cooked rice, either sloppy or burnt. Makes perfect rice, simple to use (just fill up the cup with rice and then fill up to appropriate waterline in the bowl) and saves so much time and effort. You have to plan ahead of your meal so you allow the cooking time but that’s fine to plan for when it means you’re not stood at the stove minding rice in a pan. The keep warm feature is helpful so the rice is still hot if you’re not quite ready for it. Easy enough to clean if you do it straight away - spoons and cup all go in dishwasher but the inner bowl needs handwashing. The ceramic is naturally non-stick so washes clean easily, just needs a quick rinse. I dry it off immediately and leave upside down on a tissue to dry fully as you inevitably get a bit of water on the bottom of the bowl, so this needs to dry thoroughly so as not to damage the ceramic. Read the instructions fully re care of the ceramic bowl! I just run a piece of kitchen roll around the seal to dry that after each use, again easy enough if you do it right away. (Or at least as soon as you’ve finished your meal.) Also has a few handy recipes, though I’ve only used it for basic rice so far.

Having struggled to make consistently good rice over the years, I finally invested in this rice cooker. I have to say that it has been a revelation - you can simply set it to work and 40 mins (approx) later you have perfectly cooked rice. No saucepans boiling over or running dry, you can concentrate on whatever else you are cooking for your meal. It is especially useful because it reduces waste - when you are measuring rice freehand with a measuring jug I always seemed to make way too much. This is precise. Also, it is fine to make half a cup (supplied measuring cup) for a good single portion if eating alone. The only down sides (and they are slight niggles) are these: 1. The control display is quite dim to read. So if the cooker is on a kitchen worktop in a lit kitchen, you will find yourself bent over with your glasses on trying to read it. It's not a show stopper, but it's a bit annoying. 2. The instruction booklet could (should) be rewritten. It came with an insert card as well, which seems to have been an attempt to head off questions arising from the booklet, which is great, but in my view it could have been clearer from the start. Having said all that, I will still give five stars because the quality of the rice it produces is excellent, and removes the complication of good rice preparation from your time at the stove.

It's a smart cooker so cooking times vary a little. I wish there was a countdown on the front to give an idea how much longer to go. As it is it only gives a ten minute prompt so hopefully your meal can be arranged in that time.

I just don’t seem to be able to eat the rice made in the rice cooker. It’s so overcooked and the settings don’t allow me to set it for less than 40 mins. I think the fuzzy logic doesn’t work clearly. When I tried to use less water, it turns at the bottom. Quite disappointing but my dog seems happy. Not even sure I can send it back now. I wouldn’t buy it again.

Garnek super. Świetna jakość i wykonanie. Miska ciężka, ceramiczna, ale bardzo dobrej jakości i przede wszystkim bez teflonu i innych syfów. Ryż wychodzi idealny. Jeśli ma być dodatkiem do dania, z powodzeniem starcza na 4 osoby przy ilości 2.5 kubka (a martwiliśmy się, że to garnek wyłącznie na max 1-2 osoby). Bez zastanowienia kupilibyśmy go jeszcze raz. Polecamy!

Il prodotto è oggettivamente di ottima qualità. L'imballo è super protetto quindi non c'è il rischio che prenda colpi indesiderati: (doppia scatola con involucro di polistirolo). È leggermente più grande di quello che mi aspettavo dalle foto. Il suo punto di forza è la ciotola interna in ceramica che da l'idea di essere di ottima fattura e cucina, a mio avviso e a mio gusto, il riso in modo perfetto. Rispetto ad altri cuoci riso si nota in alcuni casi a fine cottura, una sottilissima crosticina sul fondo della ciotola, che si rompe mescolando il riso, e non pregiudica affatto il sapore del cereale, anzi... . Il manuale che arriva anche in Italiano spiega tutto alla perfezione e contiene anche alcune ricette. La quantità minima di riso che si può cucinare è una tazza, che nel mio caso mi basta per preparare la basi per due bowl, la quantità massima due tazze. Il corpo della macchina si pulisce perfettamente e in modo semplice. La ciotola di ceramica necessita più attenzione per conservare le sue qualità e il suo rivestimento: - va lavata esclusivamente a mano con prodotti poco aggressivi (no anche all'aceto) - non va immersa totalmente nell'acqua e va fatta asciugare perfettamente prima dell'utilizzo Non esagera con le funzioni, ma ha tutte quelle che servono per cucinare tutti i tipi di riso (e non solo) in modo corretto. L'interfaccia è minimale chiara semplice e intuitiva. L'oggetto a mio gusto personale è piuttosto carino anche nelle forme, e rispetto alla maggioranza degli altri prodotti (che io trovo terribili a livello estetico), può essere lasciato esposto per chi ha una cucina di design. Nello store di amazon se ne trova qualcuno molto più bello per estetica, ma l'abbinamento rapporto qualità-dimensioni-prezzo-marchio di questo prodotto l'ho trovato imbattibile. Conclusioni: è una macchina di ottima qualità, minimale nelle funzioni e nelle dimensioni. La ceramica della ciotola necessita delle attenzioni che si devono agli utensili da cucina di alta gamma. Non posso che consigliarla. Sconsigliato a: - chi vuole molte funzioni e programmi - chi ha necessità di gestire la ciotola e la sua pulizia in modo iper-pratico - chi vuole cucinare più di due tazze di riso

TLDR; Better than I expected. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a compact but versatile/efficient rice cooker. + Perfectly, evenly cooked rice. Nothing sticks to the bottom. Cooked rice is still tasty even after microwaving the next day. (if stored properly) + Compact and stylish, looks premium, digital display + According to the product description, it serves 1-2 people but can actually serve 3-4 people at a time if you cook the maximum amount. A welcome surprise. - Somewhat plastic odour on the first round of cooking. First batch is recommended to toss away though according to the manual. - May not be suitable for bigger families (It's a smaller rice cooker for a reason) - Approx. 40 minutes cooking time for long/short grain. 1 hour and 15 minutes for Yumami mode. Might be considered too long to some. For those who are more interested in a more in-depth review: 1. Background 2. What made me buy it? 3. My experience so far (Jasmine rice - Yumami mode and Sushi rice - short grain mode) Background I'm a home cook with southeast Asian roots and raised in Sweden. I've used regular cheap pots on the stovetop to cook rice for the past 10 years at least. Somewhere during this time I had bought a cheaper rice cooker from a Swedish retailer which was very underperforming, which then has made me doubt rice cookers overall. What made me buy it? Yum Asia was a new brand for me and when it comes to new brands, I am often sceptical. I looked through people's reviews on Amazon and did some research on Yum Asia as a company before I decided to buy this. Most of the Swedish reviews on Amazon were satisfied with this product as well. The main selling points for me about this rice cooker was the following: 1. Cooking sushi rice (short grain) 2. Size. For a small household fit for 1-2 people this was perfect. It's compact and pretty. Everything else in the product description was just extra for me. My experience so far Cooking done according to instructions provided (Correct cup measurement and right amount of water according to the line in the pot). Jasmine rice (Yumami) While I can't exactly describe how the Yumami mode was for me, overall cooking rice with this product has made a huge difference compared to stovetop cooking. I no longer have to keep watch on my stovetop or adjust the heat manually (e.g. when water may boil over), the rice cooker takes care of everything from start to finish and makes a discreet beep to signal when it's about 10 minutes left. Even when turned off, the rice cooker and clay pot keeps the rice warm for a good while too. The quality of the cooked rice is also different in a good way, every bite of rice made with the rice cooker (Yumami mode or not) feels consistent and evenly cooked, also retains its moisture and doesn't dry out the next day. I always make extra rice for lunch boxes and when I used to make rice on the stovetop, usually the rice would feel a little dry when I microwaved it the day after. The rice made in the rice cooker tasted just as good the day after or two after microwaving it. Sushi rice (short grain) Overall good but the rice was too soft/soggy even if I followed the measurements. Of course this may vary on the type of rice but it was still enjoyable. I might have to decrease the amount of water next time.

Apres un peu moins d'1 ans d'utilisation l'appareil est tombé en panne ( erreur E2 ). utilisation 4-5X semaine. Contact ultra rapide avec le service client de la marque par email. Après avoir expliqué le problème et envoyé une vidéo, ils ont pris mes coordonnées pour me renvoyer un nouvel appareil sans devoir renvoyer le model défectueux ( j'ai pu conserver tout les accessoires). un service après vente au top ! Sinon l'appareil cuit le riz a merveille, malgré la panne je recommande vraiment.

Tenía una arrocera barata que dejó de funcionar (fusible térmico) y pensé en comprar una algo mejor. Me decidí por ésta por el prestigio de la marca, por el cuenco cerámico y los comentarios. Pros: el arroz (el normal, de toda la vida) sale mucho mejor, muy esponjoso y en su punto; el cuenco es totalmente antiadherente, no se pega nada y el arroz no se quema en absoluto; el cuenco es muy fácil de limpiar con un papel de cocina o trapo algo húmedo estando aún caliente; echa muy poco vapor de agua por la tapa; la paleta y cuchara que vienen son de calidad. Contras: tarda más en calentarse y en hacer el arroz (de 30 a 40 min); el cuenco es mejor no sacarlo (indican no lavarlo bajo el agua), y da la sensación de romperse como se caiga; se acumula agua bajo la tapa que queda luego en la goma perimetral, que conviene secar (ya veremos lo que dura la goma); el precio es algo elevado. En general, bastante satisfecho con esta arrocera, los pros compensan las contras, a pesar del precio. Espero que dure mucho tiempo (cuenco cerámico, goma de la tapa, etc).
