What add-on functions are there on Panda and are they any good?

Although Panda is first and foremost a high-quality rice cooker, we wanted it to be capable of much more than simply cooking rice.

Over many years of selling, developing and listening to customer feedback, we have identified the additional cooking functions that people actually want to use. We therefore hand-selected Panda's multicooker functions based on their usefulness and, importantly, how well they work with Panda's closed, phased cooking technology.

More Than Just a Rice Cooker

We have extensively tested each of these functions to ensure they work particularly well with Panda's cooking system.

The result is a compact appliance that can be used for a surprisingly wide variety of meals. Depending on the function and recipe, you can prepare:

• 🍚 Perfectly cooked rice

• 🥣 Rice or oat porridge

• 🍲 Soups and casseroles

• 🥩 Slow-cooked meat and whole joints

• 🥦 Steamed vegetables

• 🐟 Steamed fish and meat

• 🥟 Dumplings and other steamed foods

• 🍰 Cakes and desserts

• And much more

Carefully Selected – Not Just Added for Marketing

We don't simply add functions to a rice cooker to make the specification list look impressive.

Panda uses closed, phased cooking technology, so we specifically test additional cooking programmes to make sure they are compatible with the way the cooker controls heat, temperature and moisture.

If we have included a function on Panda, it is because we have tested it and found that it produces excellent results on this particular model.

One Compact Cooker, Many Possibilities

Panda is therefore much more versatile than a conventional rice cooker.

Whether you're making fresh rice, warming porridge for breakfast, steaming dinner, slow-cooking a casserole or baking a cake, Panda gives you multiple ways to prepare food in one compact appliance.

We designed Panda around great rice first – then carefully added the cooking functions that genuinely make it more useful in the kitchen.
