Compact 1.2L Rice Cooker with Steaming and Timer Functions

Sized for one or two people, this 1.2L cooker makes the right amount rather than leaving two-thirds of a pot to reheat. At 200x210x180mm it occupies about as much counter as a kettle, which matters in a small kitchen, a studio flat or a shared house where surface space is the constraint.

Beyond rice, it steams, keeps warm, and handles claypot-style rice and cakes, so a single appliance covers several things a small kitchen would otherwise need separate equipment for. A delay timer lets you load it in the morning and have rice ready when you return, and the keep-warm function holds it at temperature once cooking finishes. Anti-dry-burn protection shuts the heat off if the pot runs empty.

Controls are physical buttons rather than a touchscreen, set into a black microcrystalline panel that wipes clean. The alloy inner pot is round with interior fill markings, and it runs at 200W on standard 220V mains. Supplied with a power cord, rice spoon and manual.
