Press Cook. It Switches Itself to Warm. Rice Ready When You Come Back.

Both sizes of this automatic rice cooker work the same way — load the bowl, add water to the marked line, press the lever, and leave it. The red cook LED shows it's running. When the water is absorbed and the thermal sensor detects the bowl base temperature rising, the machine switches automatically from cook to keep warm. The amber warm LED comes on, the cook light goes off, and the rice holds at serving temperature until you're ready. The non-stick removable bowl lifts straight out, the toughened glass lid with steel rim lets you check the rice without lifting it, and the measuring cup and spatula come in the box. Available in 0.8 litre (350W) for solo or small portions, and 1.8 litre (700W) for two to four portions.

Two Sizes — Built for Different Household Needs

0.8 litre, 350W — the smaller of the two. It makes one to two portions of cooked rice per cycle — one cup of dry rice fills it comfortably for a single person. The 350W element is efficient for the bowl size and the low power draw makes it practical for caravans, student kitchens, and anywhere where a full-size cooker would be too much. The compact housing takes up very little worktop or shelf space.

1.8 litre, 700W — covers two to four portions per cycle. Right-sized for couples and small families who eat rice regularly and want a batch ready rather than one portion at a time. The 700W element heats up faster than the 0.8L. Same feature set — non-stick bowl, glass lid, auto-switch, LED indicators, and the same measuring cup and spatula included in the box.

How the Automatic Switch Works

When you press the cook lever, the element runs at full cooking temperature and the red LED activates. Inside the bowl, the rice absorbs the water while steam builds up under the closed glass lid. That steam is what cooks the rice through evenly — opening the lid during this stage lets it out and the rice won't finish properly.

When all the free water in the bowl has been absorbed, there's nothing left to absorb the heat, and the base of the bowl rises in temperature more quickly. The thermal sensor detects that rise and triggers the switch — element steps down, cook LED off, warm LED on. The rice is done. It stays on warm for up to an hour without continuing to cook or drying out at the base.

The Non-Stick Bowl and Water Markings

The inner bowl lifts out of the cooker completely. The non-stick coating means cooked rice comes away from the sides and base cleanly after a normal cook — no crust, no stuck layer that needs soaking. The inside of the bowl has water level markings — fill to the "1" line for one cup of rice, the "2" line for two cups, and so on. Consistent ratios each time mean consistent results without measuring the water separately.

After cooking, the bowl washes in warm soapy water. It's a hand-wash item — the non-stick coating lasts longer without a dishwasher. Most residue comes away with minimal effort under normal use.

The Glass Lid

The lid is clear toughened glass with a stainless steel rim. You can see the rice through the lid at any point during the cycle without opening it. A small steam vent hole in the lid releases excess pressure — the lid stays on during cooking and doesn't build up enough pressure to lift. The steel rim adds structural strength and keeps the seal consistent around the bowl edge.

The 0.8L vs 1.8L — Which One to Pick

If you cook rice for one person most of the time, the 0.8L is the right choice. It's proportionally sized so you're not cooking a large batch just to feed one person, the energy draw is lower, and it takes up less space than the 1.8L on any worktop or shelf.

If you're regularly cooking for two or more people, or if you cook rice as a main dish rather than a side portion, the 1.8L gives you the volume to cover it in a single cycle without two rounds from the smaller bowl.

Both come with the same accessories. Both have the same LED system, the same glass lid, and the same non-stick bowl design — just scaled to their respective sizes.

What People Cook in These

• White rice daily — basmati, jasmine, long grain, short grain. Water level markings handle the ratio — one measure of rice, fill to the matching line
• Brown rice — needs more water and a longer cook cycle; add an extra measure of water above the standard line and expect a longer time before the warm light triggers
• Congee and porridge — use two to three parts water to one part rice; the auto-switch still works, it just takes longer as more water needs to be absorbed
• Quinoa — cooks similarly to white rice at a 2:1 ratio; the auto-switch handles it the same way

Cleaning

Bowl: hand-wash in warm soapy water, rinse, dry. Outer body: wipe with a damp cloth when cold. Glass lid: rinse under the tap. Never submerge the outer base in water. Standard mains plug — 230V.

Available in 0.8 litre (350W) and 1.8 litre (700W). Both with non-stick removable inner bowl, toughened glass lid with steel rim and vent, automatic cook-to-warm thermal switch, warm and cook LED indicators, internal water level markings, measuring cup, and serving spatula.
