We seldom eat more than one cup total. I have cooked basmati rice, calrose, brown basmati and brown nishiki. It all came out good, without burning or overflow, no mushiness or hardness, a good consistency. I chose this cooker for the slow cooker function, which worked well and faster than a crock pot. Also I used the steamer function to saute ingredients before adding rice, no steamer basket. I figured if this function will boil water it is hot enough to saute some onions. Also made chicken curry in 40 minutes with the steam function. Threw in the chicken in the inner pot, no steamer basket. They sweated plenty of liquid, I didn't add water. About 20 minutes later I added the seasonings which I had meanwhile sauteed on the stove. At the end I let it reduce with the lid open. This cooker is really versatile, great for a college dorm or studio with no kitchen. I have a kitchen but I am tired of cooking so with this I can set the timer and go out. Also made a Japanese cheesecake, coconut flour blueberry cake and chocolate flour less cake that came out great albeit small but that is fine for me. Accommodates a 2 egg recipe. I buttered the pan, the cakes came out easily. About rice, soak rice 1/2 hour for best results in any cooking method. I also made rice with gandules. I made sure rice and water were measured to the right line before adding other ingredients. Remember for some meats and veg they will exude additional water so cook them first to know how much water is going in there One thing I don't know, is the rest period after cooking rice included in the time or not? I also wish a stainless steel option were available, even at additional cost. The company could make extra cash selling stainless steel inserts. I don't know what ceramic coating is made of after all. But I am enjoying this cooker and I think it is well designed to appeal to both easterner and western cooks. Though, I did notice the design is identical to a Reishunger model that has tahdig function and no slow cooking for 80 dollars or so. I don't know is the Reishunger has fuzzy logic or just looks the same externally. Review: Excellent rice cooker, definitely worth the money! - I LOVE this little rice cooker. I used to have other cheap rice cookers ($20) before and the rice always ended up sticking to the bowl. I hated cleaning my previous rice cookers. While I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a rice cooker while in college, I decided to invest in this rice cooker now. It has been a game changer! No more rice sticking to the bowl and the cleaning of the bowl and parts is super easy. The rice is delicious regardless of whether it is Basmati, Jasmine, or simply white long grain rice. The cooking duration is accurate! I think you can easy use it to steam veggies, slow cook, or make a cake. I have not tried these options yet. It is obviously more expensive than a $20 rice cooker but it was totally worth it. I highly recommend it! ## Features - PERFECT RICE AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON - White rice/long grain, short grain/sushi and brown rice settings with quick cook. 7 cooking phases ensure the best taste, texture and aroma automatically - ADVANCED FUZZY LOGIC (AI) RICE COOKER TECHNOLOGY - digitally controlled 7 phased 3D heating surround technology with tailored useful add on options including steam, porridge, slow cook, cake baking settings. 24 hour preset timer and keep warm features. 10 minute countdown for rice functions - HIGH QUALITY 5-LAYER 2mm THICK NINJA CERAMIC COATED INNER BOWL - durable, healthy with embedded rice levels.

The inner lid of Panda is coated aluminium – we have put a special inert coating on the inner lid to stop oxidisation and discolouration and it also seals it completely. The inner lid does not come into contact with any food and it is completely safe. Most rice cookers have some form of aluminium inner lid, but only our products have the special seal on it. **Q: Are there directions for cooking oatmeal and if so, how long will the oatmeal stay warm?** A: Hello! We have put a recipe in the instruction manual for cooking oatmeal. You can set the timer for it to be ready in the morning when you wake up and it can stay on keep warm until you are ready to eat it. Panda has a 24 hours keep warm, but we wouldn't recommend keeping porridge warm for that long as it will completely dry out. **Q: How long, in minutes does it take to cook 3 cups rice?** A: Hello! We have given some approximate cooking times in the manual, these can only be approximate because we have a specially staged cooking cycle which the fuzzy logic assesses as the cooking cycle progresses depending on factors like how much rice and water are inside the inner bowl, ambient temperate, how the rice absorbs water etc. Usually it's around 35-40 minutes for white rice and 60 minutes for brown rice. Fast cook is around 25-29 minutes. Panda doesn't just boil the rice, it carefully stages the cooking with steaming, braising, boiling parts of the cycle to ensure that each batch of rice cooked is perfect, preserving taste, texture and nutrients. **Q: Is it nonstick for cooking rice?** A: Hello! Panda has a ceramic coated inner bowl which is BPA-free, PFOA-free and PTFE-free. It is a durable and healthy non-stick coating. Nothing sticks to the inner bowl and you need to be sure to follow the cleaning instructions in the user manual ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Multi purpose cooker *by W***Y on October 11, 2024* Very cute rice cooker, the 3 cup size is just right for my family of 3.

I highly recommend it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mini Panda--Bundle of Joy *by L***E on January 4, 2026* Jan 3, 2026 6:51 AM I am extremely happy with my Yum Asia Panda Mini Rice cooker (3.5 cup). It is just what I was hoping for--it makes terrific rice, is easy to clean up and is the perfect size for my tiny kitchen. I have already used it to make congee and steam vegetables as well. I am a serious home chef (I used to work as a personal chef for a time) and I researched rice cookers for over 18 months before deciding on my mini panda. I plan to have all kinds of delicious food adventures with it--korean steamed eggs, cajun red beans (and rice), biryani, curry, guisados, soups, etc. I love the keep warm feature and the feature that allows me to preset a cooking time for later in the day so I can come home to a hot meal. When I had a question for the Yum Asia Customer service team they answered my email promptly (so refreshing!) which I greatly appreciate. I anticipate many bowls of perfect rice in my future. I can only think of two improvements that could be made and Yum Asia has already implemented one of them. I plan to buy their newly released stainless steel steamer basket (Yum Asia website only as of 1/3/25) as I prefer not to use plastic in my cooker. (I am currently using a silicone steamer basket that fits, but was not made by Yum Asia.) The other feature that I would love to see implemented into this small, but mighty rice cooker is the tadhig or dosolot rice feature which creates a crispy bottom. A girl can dream, can't she? I would rate the customer service 10/10 and the rice cooker almost perfect, 9.2/10. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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, Digital LED display - 120V - Inomata 1150 Rice Paddle, White, Melamine - Asvel 7509 Rice Container Bin with Pour Spout Plastic Clear 2KG --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/326541797-yum-asia-panda-mini-rice-cooker-with-ninja-ceramic-bowl](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/326541797-yum-asia-panda-mini-rice-cooker-with-ninja-ceramic-bowl) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
