Product Features
What is Induction Heating (IH)?
The heating method known as Induction Heating (IH) occurs when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field. In our case, coils within the bottom of the rice cooker create the magnetic field. When the inner cooking pan is placed into the rice cooker and the unit is activated, a magnetic field is generated to create instant heat within the inner cooking pan. Through this technology the inner cooking pan itself becomes the heat source utilizing both high heat and fine heating adjustments to control the cooking process.
What is Germinated Brown Rice?
Germinated brown rice is a type of brown rice that is ready to be germinated by a special process. The process gives a softer texture and improved taste. It also contains increased values of GABA. It is a type of rice that must be purchased, and can be cooked using the Softer menu. Germinated brown rice is sometimes called sprouted brown rice.
What is Clear Coating?
The rice cooker’s stainless steel exterior is coated with a clear coating to minimize the exterior from becoming dirty.
What is the Jasmine Setting?
This is a special menu setting for cooking Jasmine white rice. The cooking flow is different than the White rice setting because Jasmine rice cooks differently than short or medium grain white rice.
What is Automatic Keep Warm and Extended Keep Warm?
The rice cooker automatically switches to Keep Warm once it completes cooking. Changing to Extended Keep Warm is recommended when keeping rice warm for longer than 8 hours. The rice cooker keeps warm the rice at a slightly lower temperature when Extended Keep Warm is selected to minimize drying and yellowing of rice.
What is Melody Signal?
A melody sounds to alert when cooking begins, timer is set, or cooking has completed. The default setting is 'Melody' but may be changed to beeps or silent mode.
GABA Brown Setting (Brown Rice Activation)
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure, improve kidney function, and relieve stress. The rice cooker activates brown rice by keeping the temperature inside the pan at about 104°F for 2 hours, increasing the nutrient 1.5 times.

Pros:
- Best keep warm feature! Yes it has an extended keep warm feature but the regular keep warm feature will keep the quality for a solid 3 days with NO degradation of quality and the rice is still better than any reheated rice on day 4-5. The extended keep warm can theoretically keep it warm for even longer but why?
- More useful and easier to integrate into your life. The ease of use and perfect keep warm features mean that you can start a pot of rice in the morning and have it ready for dinner in the evening or whenever. The excellent keep warm and highest finished quality is a real game changer for meal prep.
- Perfectly cooked rice! Every single time from the grain on the top of the pot to the grain on the pot of the pot each is perfectly cooked and you have full control of what perfect means so if you like soft rice then choose that, if you like firm rice then choose harder or sushi. The quality of the finished rice is superior to every rice cooker I have ever had or tried and better than the vast majority from a pot or restaurant.
- The quick rice setting is Excellent! It is pretty fast at 33-45 minutes and has very good quality. The standard setting is 10/10 and the quick rice setting is still at 9.5/10.
- The GABA brown rice is a great feature. GABA brown rice makes brown rice even healthier and far more digestible. It tastes great and has a lot more of a regular rice texture. I highly recommend trying it.
- Very easy to clean. Quick wipe out with soapy water and wipe dry and you are good. I have left cooked rice in it for 2.5 weeks on the keep warm setting and it cleaned out easily still, a little more scrubbing but no problem still. Previous rice cookers I have had use a cheap aluminum pot but this is a very solid stainless steel with an EXCELLENT non stick coating.
- Excellent materials. Stainless steel pot and lid are heavy duty and are not going to warp or breakdown like a cheap rice cooker will. Induction heating gives incredibly even cook which makes a big difference to the finished rice and easy to clean nature. I can easily see this appliance being a workhorse for my family for +10 years easily.
- Perfect size for my family. I could make 5 cups of cooked rice which is enough to feed a good size group or a small amount which is enough for me and my two kids. If you need more capacity then get the bigger brother which can cook 10 cups which is a lot of rice!
- The song. It serenades you with a little twinkle twinkle as you start a pot of rice.
Cons:
- Price. Yes it is 3-6 times the cost of other rice cookers but you get what you pay for so save up and maybe eat out a little less then buy this. Ultimately it is worth the price since it will last 3-5 times a long as others and give you 2-5 times better rice consistently. Lesser rice cookers scorch the bottom and undercook the top so you will waste less of the finished product.
- Dedicated appliance. This is a dedicated rice cooker it is not an instapot or slow cooker but it does what it does perfectly. It does take up space to have another appliance on the counter but consider having it on directly on the table...
Final Verdict:
If you eat rice on the regular this is a must buy for me. I recommend it to my friends and family so yeah I would recommend saving up and buying it!
We had gone through probably 5 different cheaper rice cookers over the years, you know those common models where it has one button to start and a glass lid... while a few of them did Jasmine rice pretty good, none of them could do both brown and Jasmine rice perfectly. This one does. If you've only ever had the one button rice cookers with the glass lid, and you move to this one, it's like going from an old base model Toyota Tercel from the 90s, to a nice modern Lexus sedan. Night and day difference.
The rice cooks perfectly every time. Seriously, almost every time we have dinner guests over, someone comments on how good the rice is. Which if you think about it, is kinda exceptional. I mean it's just rice, right? By itself it's a fairly boring basic thing, and yet this rice cooker makes it better than a standard rice cooker, or what an average person can achieve on a stove. I say average person because one of my friends whose a chef, his stove top rice cooking skill rivals it. I can't do it, but this machine is like having him in my kitchen every time I make rice.
But it's not just the perfect rice. This machine keeps rice good and warm and ready for anyone to have a serving for DAYS. Those one button rice cookers we used to own, even the better ones that could do a good pot of Jasmine, you had to get it out of there by the next day, or it was going to get bad. This allows us to have cheap warm good food ready across days. I made a pot yesterday at the time of this writing, and I just had perfect jasmine rice with sardines for lunch, I'll have a perfect rice with grilled mackerel later, and I'll have perfect rice with my beans tomorrow at lunch. If my kids are hungry in the middle of the day, and they want a quick something... there's warm rice and usually something in the fridge to throw on top of it, quick and easy and far healthier(usually) than microwavable frozen food.
Now if you only eat rice once in a while, and it's not a staple in your house, and money is an object, then this is probably overkill. You're not going to get your money back in the convenience and higher quality of your staple, like you absolutely will if rice is a staple of your diet. But if it is a staple, and you've only ever used those cheaper one button rice cookers with the glass lids, and especially if you're trying to use brown rice to eat healthier, this rice cooker will be worth every penny. Pot after pot of perfect rice, regardless of what kind of rice you cook in it. And if rice isn't currently a staple for you but money is no object and you buy this, don't be surprised if rice becomes a staple... the convenience of this with the quality of rice it makes, may well lead to you eating it far more often.
And for those of you who are into GABA rice... You don't need to buy special GABA rice, this will turn brown rice or other whole grain rice(white rice is not whole grain and can't be turned into GABA) into GABA for you. It takes longer to cook, about 3 and half hours(on the GABA setting, the regular brown rice setting is 90 minutes), but you're talking about getting GABA for a fraction of the cost. Just checked here on Amazon, GABA rice is going for about 10 bucks a pound if you buy it in a one pound bag. At my local Winco, brown jasmine in the bulk section is like a buck something for a pound and if you buy it in 25 pound bags like I do, on sale, you can get it for well under a dollar a pound. So you will very quickly recoup the costs of this rice cooker, if you're currently buying special GABA rice regularly as you can just buy a whole grain rice and use the GABA setting to activate it/turn it into GABA rice.
So in closing, there are many kitchen appliances that promise to deliver perfect this, or perfect that with greater convenience, and few of them really deliver but this rice cooker absolutely does when it comes to rice. I can not imagine going back to one of those cheap one button glass lid setups, they're just a significant downgrade. I would absolutely miss this if I had to do that.
Never owning a rice cooker I learned how to wash rice and properly cook it, on the stove never tasted as good as the restaurant and let me tell you it doesn’t matter what type or brand I buy, it’s delicious everytime. I’ve even made Spanish rice and beans in this!
Washes so well, stores easily, not compact but I knew I had a larger cooker coming so that’s not an issue for me at all. Very easy to use! If you’re in the fence just jump and get it you will not be disappointed!

Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2023
2) O produto veio bem embalado. A embalagem original, aquela que fica na gôndola das lojas. Foi reembalada em uma caixa de papel maior. Mantenho todas as embalagens pois posso utilizar se sentir necessidade de devolução em até sete dias, conforme Código do consumidor, ou mais dias estendida pela política da Amazon.
3) Um ponto negativo é a ausência de uma Nota Fiscal Eletrônica. Assim sinto-me desprotegido pois não conto com o mínimo de garantia de três meses conforme o Código do Consumidor.
4) O manual de instruções vieram em cinco línguas: inglês, francês, japonês, chinês e tailandês. Não há o PT-BR e nem o castelhano.
5) O produto conta com um relógio e uma bateria internos que a mantém funcionando. Para alterar a hora, é necessário plugar a panela. Aí temos um problema pois o plugue não é popular no Brasil. Necessário utilizar um adaptador (tipo Benjamin). Como a voltagem é de 120V, em vários Estados brasileiros (com voltagem 220V) será necessário comprar um transformador ou mudar os disjuntores em alguma tomada. É muito importante mudar o clock (relógio) pois é com base nele que o timer funciona.
6) Para alterar o clock basta tocar com dois dedos os botões seta para cima e para baixo ao mesmo tempo. Depois as mesmas setas alteram o horário. E agora não será mais necessário manter plugado a panela (isso ocorre com o relógio do carro).
7) Informo que a ela é dedicada a fazer só diversos tipos de de arroz (gohan, sushi, integral [brown rice], jasmine... (cada um com uma programação própria). Não é uma panela elétrica comum, não é possível alterar a programação. Só compre se você é um apaixonado por arroz. Talvez você queira comprar uma panela mais comum, com um único botão.
8) Assim sendo não é possível fazer o arroz no estilo brasileiro (com o agulhinha), com temperos tipo alho ou cebola refogados e com o arroz levemente frito. Não dá certo. Eu tentei. Outro tipos de arroz, como o jasmine podem ser feitos ao estilo do gohan. Ou seja, coloque o arroz na panela e a água até a medida indicada (há um indicador lateral para cada receita), somente depois coloque sal (se achar necessário), e talvez azeite. Nessa ordem. Assim dará certo.
9) Não encontrei tutorial de como utilizar tal panela em português no Youtube. É leitura em inglês com um dicionário no celular. Mas, uma vez aprendido, é muito fácil utilizar a arrozeira. E o gohan fica ótimo.
10) Para fazer o arroz integral saiba que ele se chama Brown na panela. Há duas programações: Brown (que faz o arroz em cerca de uma hora e meia) e Gaba Brown. Este último faz lentamente o arroz, mais de 3 horas são necessárias. Porém, nutrientes do arroz integral são ativados, incrementando-os em 150%. Gaba é sigla para gamma-aminobuturic acid.
11) Em todas as operações utilize o copo medidor que acompanha a panela. Ela tem a capacidade de 170ml. Todas as indicações de copos impressas na lateral da panela (e essencial para fazer os arrozes) tem por base essa medida.
12) Para acionar o Timer faça o seguinte: a) pressione Menu; b) pressione timer e selecione 1 ou 2 que aparecem na tela; c) pressione botões para cima ou para baixo para escolher a hora em que que o arroz pronto; por exemplo, se quer comer o arroz às 11:40h, esses números é que têm que estar indicado no visor digital. d) pressione Start. O timer não funciona para os programas Quick (gohan rápido), Mixed (gohan com mistura de grãos e legumes) e Sweet (arroz doce).
13) Se for fazer arroz de sushi utiliza-se o gohan comum mas a lavagem é mais cuidadosa em relação a gohan comum (veja instruções no Youtube). Para fazer o Mixed, primeiro coloque o arroz e depois a água conforme indicações na panela; só depois se coloca os outros ingredientes por cima.
14) Para fazer 2 copos (de 170ml) de gohan faço assim. Lavo o arroz. Coloco na panela. Coloco água filtrada até a indicação 2 na lateral da panela, indicação gohan (White Rice). Seco a parte externa. Coloco na "máquina" já plugada. Com o botão Menu escolho entre Quick, White Rice Softer, Regular ou Harder (prefiro Softer pois o gohan sai levemente mais úmido). Pressiono Start e terei o arroz pronto em cerca de 52 minutos.
14) Por fim, antes de fazer o arroz, o caldeirão deve estar seco por fora. E, após a feitura do arroz, é importante limpar tudo. A limpeza é mais fácil que as panelas elétricas e outras arrozeiras. Ela foi feita para facilitar a vida na cozinha com certeza.

4) O manual de instruções vieram em cinco línguas: inglês, francês, japonês, chinês e tailandês. Não há o PT-BR e nem o castelhano.
5) O produto conta com um relógio e uma bateria internos que a mantém funcionando. Para alterar a hora, é necessário plugar a panela. Aí temos um problema pois o plugue não é popular no Brasil. Necessário utilizar um adaptador (tipo Benjamin). Como a voltagem é de 120V, em vários Estados brasileiros (com voltagem 220V) será necessário comprar um transformador ou mudar os disjuntores em alguma tomada. É muito importante mudar o clock (relógio) pois é com base nele que o timer funciona.
6) Para alterar o clock basta tocar com dois dedos os botões seta para cima e para baixo ao mesmo tempo. Depois as mesmas setas alteram o horário. E agora não será mais necessário manter plugado a panela (isso ocorre com o relógio do carro).
7) Informo que a ela é dedicada a fazer só diversos tipos de de arroz (gohan, sushi, integral [brown rice], jasmine... (cada um com uma programação própria). Não é uma panela elétrica comum, não é possível alterar a programação. Só compre se você é um apaixonado por arroz. Talvez você queira comprar uma panela mais comum, com um único botão.
8) Assim sendo não é possível fazer o arroz no estilo brasileiro (com o agulhinha), com temperos tipo alho ou cebola refogados e com o arroz levemente frito. Não dá certo. Eu tentei. Outro tipos de arroz, como o jasmine podem ser feitos ao estilo do gohan. Ou seja, coloque o arroz na panela e a água até a medida indicada (há um indicador lateral para cada receita), somente depois coloque sal (se achar necessário), e talvez azeite. Nessa ordem. Assim dará certo.
9) Não encontrei tutorial de como utilizar tal panela em português no Youtube. É leitura em inglês com um dicionário no celular. Mas, uma vez aprendido, é muito fácil utilizar a arrozeira. E o gohan fica ótimo.
10) Para fazer o arroz integral saiba que ele se chama Brown na panela. Há duas programações: Brown (que faz o arroz em cerca de uma hora e meia) e Gaba Brown. Este último faz lentamente o arroz, mais de 3 horas são necessárias. Porém, nutrientes do arroz integral são ativados, incrementando-os em 150%. Gaba é sigla para gamma-aminobuturic acid.
11) Em todas as operações utilize o copo medidor que acompanha a panela. Ela tem a capacidade de 170ml. Todas as indicações de copos impressas na lateral da panela (e essencial para fazer os arrozes) tem por base essa medida.
12) Para acionar o Timer faça o seguinte: a) pressione Menu; b) pressione timer e selecione 1 ou 2 que aparecem na tela; c) pressione botões para cima ou para baixo para escolher a hora em que que o arroz pronto; por exemplo, se quer comer o arroz às 11:40h, esses números é que têm que estar indicado no visor digital. d) pressione Start. O timer não funciona para os programas Quick (gohan rápido), Mixed (gohan com mistura de grãos e legumes) e Sweet (arroz doce).
13) Se for fazer arroz de sushi utiliza-se o gohan comum mas a lavagem é mais cuidadosa em relação a gohan comum (veja instruções no Youtube). Para fazer o Mixed, primeiro coloque o arroz e depois a água conforme indicações na panela; só depois se coloca os outros ingredientes por cima.
14) Para fazer 2 copos (de 170ml) de gohan faço assim. Lavo o arroz. Coloco na panela. Coloco água filtrada até a indicação 2 na lateral da panela, indicação gohan (White Rice). Seco a parte externa. Coloco na "máquina" já plugada. Com o botão Menu escolho entre Quick, White Rice Softer, Regular ou Harder (prefiro Softer pois o gohan sai levemente mais úmido). Pressiono Start e terei o arroz pronto em cerca de 52 minutos.
14) Por fim, antes de fazer o arroz, o caldeirão deve estar seco por fora. E, após a feitura do arroz, é importante limpar tudo. A limpeza é mais fácil que as panelas elétricas e outras arrozeiras. Ela foi feita para facilitar a vida na cozinha com certeza.
