Review: I CAN’T MAKE RICE…. - I CANT MAKE GOOD RICE! That was before I bit the bullet and treated myself to this incredible rice cooker. But it’s not just a rice cooker! It turns out it makes not only the most incredible rice, but also is a steamer and accomplished one pot meal solution too! First - Rice cooker. Yes, I hear you all shout. Rice is the easiest thing in the world to make! Maybe for you, but for me it has been a complete mystery and a very much hit-and-miss affair. Sometimes good, but mostly awful were my results over the years. So much so I had resorted to buying those awful pouches of pre cooked garbage. First use after the run in went a little like this. Wash your rice until the water runs clear. Four rinses was the amount of times my one cup of Tilda Basmati took to be free of starch and detritus. A tip I got from many hours of YouTube videos was to soak the now clean rice for 30 minutes before cooking, this makes sure each grain gets cooked through fully so there are not “grit” like bites when you’re eating. Then simply drop the pot into the chamber and using the very simple menu button select your chosen option, in this case it was simply “Rice”. Press the start button and wait for the beep. What I ended up with was the most beautifully cooked rice. It fluffed up so each grain was separate and wonderfully soft. Amazing! First-time luck? No, every time I have used it since that first pot I have enjoyed perfect, tasty rice. I have even taken to making it with chicken stock (just an Oxo cube) and it’s incredible. Second Mode - Steamer The steaming basket is a revelation. I adore dumplings! I always have in my freezer a huge bag of chicken and vegetable ones that I get from Costco. I decided to try to cook them from frozen whilst simultaneously making rice! This experiment resulted in me having perfectly steamed chicken dumplings and perfect chicken flavoured rice, all from the same pot, in under 30 minutes. No checking, no stirring, just sit back and enjoy an ice cold beer in anticipation! Amazing. Third - One Pot Cooking This is possibly the best way of using it for my personal situation. I live alone you see. Simply prepare your rice as usual. Then add diced chicken (breast or thighs although I prefer thigh meat, more flavour) and chopped vegetables of your choice, carrot, cabbage, spring onions, garlic, peppers and tomatoes are what I’m tending to to go for and just sit them directly on top of the rice in its water/stock. Press the rice setting, press start and in 30 minutes or so you have and amazing chicken dish that you can be proud of. Easily enough for two large servings from just one cup of rice! So in conclusion. Am I happy? Oh yes, incredibly happy. I have only just started to learn what this amazing gadget can do and I am so looking forward to using it more and more. The removable cooking pot is incredibly high quality, as are all the other parts. The tiny measuring cup is deceiving. One of these little cups makes enough cooked rice for two healthy portions. The stirrer and rice ladle are equally well crafted and fit the pot perfectly. It all packs away into a really small unit size so can be stored away with ease and cleaning is so simple. I recommend this rice cooker greatly. I’m glad I didn’t just go for the cheaper options that are available. This is definitely a case of you get what you pay for! PS - I am not affiliated with the company either, I just only think it’s right to promote something I am happy with, it just like when you’re not happy, but fun!
Review: Good quality and easy to use rice cooker - I have used this rice cooker to cook short grain rice. It is easy to use and easy to clean and comes with everything you need (i.e. spatula, ladle, measuring cup and steamer). It takes quite a long time to cook the rice (at least twice as long as in a pan on the hob) but the results are much better and no supervision is needed - just set the time you want the rice to be ready and it is. Once the rice is ready, it is kept warm until you are ready to eat it. The rice cooker is good looking enough to leave out on the worktop. I guess you could carry it with the carrying handle but I haven't needed to do that. It feels solid, and good quality. I am very pleased with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anybody explain why on amazon its more expensive than on official uk yum asia shop? About 10 pounds and they have dpd  carrier**
A: Hello! We have to charge slightly more for our products on Amazon because the fees we are charged to sell on Amazon's marketplace are very high (£17 per Panda rice cooker sold). The fees we have selling on our own website are lower than this, so we are able to charge less for Panda on our own site.

**Q: How much time does it take to cook a cup of rice?  (Basmati)**
A: Hello! It would depend on whether you were cooking white or brown basmati as the cooking times are different. Cooking time depends on ambient temperatures as well as how much rice you are cooking. The guidance we give in the manual is that it's around 35 minutes for white basmati, this is the full capacity cooking time so for 1 cup it's around 25 minutes. For brown basmati the cooking time is around 1 hour. If you would like to look at the manual, you can find this here - yumasia.co.uk/image/data/manuals_pdf/YumAsia/Panda%20YUM-EN06%20Manual-EN.pdf

**Q: What are the actual volume ratios of long grain white rice to water?**
A: Hello! We do not use volume ratios for any of our rice cookers because there are water scale marks stamped onto the inner bowl, this takes any guesswork out of the water/rice ratios. So you use the provided 180ml measuring cup to measure the rice you want into the inner bowl, then you use the scale on the inner bowl to fill to the corresponding number of cups as indicated on the scale - so for 2 cups, you measure the 2 cups of rice, then fill to the number 2 on the right hand side of the scale on the bowl.

**Q: Can it also be used as a slow cooker for casseroles?**
A: Yes it makes an excellent curry casserole cooks new potatoes to perfection will also make pastry less quiche and soup
