Can I cook pasta in your rice cookers?

None of our rice cookers are designed or intended for cooking pasta, so we do not recommend using them for this purpose.

Our cooking programmes are specifically designed around the cooking characteristics of rice, with the cooker automatically controlling the cooking process based on factors such as cooking time and temperature. Pasta generally cooks much more quickly than rice and requires different cooking conditions.

There is therefore no dedicated pasta setting on our rice cookers, and using one of the existing cooking functions for pasta would require you to monitor the pasta throughout the cooking process and stop the programme manually when it is ready.

In this situation, you would be better off using a saucepan, which allows you to bring the water to the required temperature and easily check the pasta as it cooks. This also gives you much better control over the cooking time and texture.

For these reasons, we recommend using our rice cookers for the foods and cooking functions they have been designed for rather than attempting to cook pasta in them.
