Choose one of the rice settings to cook anything from basmati, jasmine, or arborio rice to hearty wild rice, brown rice, or short- or long-grained rice. The rice cooker cooks the satisfying grain to restaurant-quality perfection, making it easy to create a fabulous main dish when paired with stir-fried veggies and tofu, stirred into soups, or fluffed with nothing more than butter and salt.

Yes, it cooks rice, but it also does so much more. For a quick and healthy addition to grilled chicken and dinner rolls, just fill the rice cooker’s included steamer basket with green beans or fresh broccoli from the farmer’s market or zucchini and pea pods from the backyard garden. Then press the quick cook/steam function and you’re well on your way to appetizing side dishes. Short on time in the morning? Load up the rice cooker with oatmeal, grits, or other hot cereals and water or milk for a low-effort, soul-satisfying breakfast before heading out the door.

Advanced Fuzzy Logic Technology

For precise and delightfully consistent results every time, the rice cooker’s advanced Fuzzy Logic technology automatically adjusts the power and cooking time–making the art of rice cooking practically foolproof.

Keep Warm

The rice cooker’s automatic shut-off function ensures peace of mind and prevents overcooking, while its handy keep-warm setting activates automatically when cooking is complete, holding contents at an ideal serving temperature for up to 12 hours.

Additional Features

Along with the steaming basket, the rice cooker provides a special measuring cup for portioning the desired amount, as well as a non-scratching rice spoon for authentic Asian-style service.

Other highlights include push-button lid release, a domed lid that prevents accumulated water from re-entering the contents, a nonstick-coated pan for simple cleanup, a detachable power cord, and an attractive, compact design that fits neatly on a countertop, kitchen island, or dinner table for convenient serving.

Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, Panasonic’s microcomputer-controlled Fuzzy Logic rice cooker effortlessly cooks up main dishes, sides, snacks, hot breakfasts, and a host of other meal options, making it a useful addition to any busy kitchen.

Note: Do not clean or rinse the rice in the rice cooker pan, but use an outside bowl.

Or make sticky rice for rolling sushi, Spanish rice for enchilada night, or hearty wild rice to add to a tossed green salad–or even creamy rice pudding with cinnamon sprinkled on top for dessert.

Cook up to 20 Cups of Rice

Panasonic’s automatic rice cookers come in four useful sizes. Choose from a 3-cup, 6-cup, 10-cup, or 20-cup cooked-rice capacity–great for single people and small families or for larger-size families or for those who love to entertain.

Novice or pro–any home chef will appreciate the convenience of having a little extra help in the kitchen. Simply add rice to the cooker, pour in the measured amount of water, secure the lid, and press the lever to start cooking–it takes care of the rest. The rice cooker’s inner aluminum cooking pan heats quickly for fast, even heating, while its glass lid traps in heat, moisture, and nutrients, plus allows for at-a-glance monitoring (no need to remove the lid).

When cleaning the rice before cooking, do not wash the rice in the cooker pan. For best results, it is recommended that a separate pan be used for cleaning the rice.

One-Step Automatic Cooking

The rice cooker automatically cooks the rice for the correct amount of time, then shuts off automatically for excellent results. Even more, the 10-cup and 20-cup units automatically switch over to a Keep Warm mode, which keeps the rice hot and delicious–and ready to serve–for up to four hours, without over-cooking. A nonstick coating on the removable inner cooking pan (most models) helps prevent cooked rice from sticking to the sides and the bottom and makes cleanup a snap.

Rice scoop, steam basket, and measuring cup included. (Select models. See chart for details.)

Other highlights include a handy “cooking” indicator light, stay-cool lid and side handles for safe transport, secure feet to keep the cooker raised up above countertop surfaces, and a sleek, modern design that will be sure to compliment any kitchen decor.

A measuring cup comes included, as well as a rice scoop (all sizes, except for the 10-cup cooker), and a steaming basket (20-cup cooker only) for steaming seafood or fresh vegetables while simultaneously cooking rice. Leave the rice cooker out for easy access throughout the week or store it compactly away between uses. A welcome addition to any busy kitchen, Panasonic’s line of automatic rice cookers make a great gift idea and carry a one-year limited manufacturer’s warranty.
