The Panasonic SRMM 18 rice cooker can be considered a smart cooker. It automatically sets the appropriate cooking program for each type of dish based on the amount of rice and water added, thanks to its temperature and weight sensors.
Versatile Cooking
On the market, most rice cookers that utilize digital technology are those equipped with microprocessors.
Thanks to the microprocessor and accompanying sensors, commonly temperature sensors, which assist in timing cooking, reheating, and adjusting temperature, rice cookers have become capable of preparing a wide variety of dishes.
You can use them to cook regular rice, quick rice, porridge, brown rice, slow-cooked meals, steaming, soups, and even sticky rice…
There are many types of digital rice cookers from various brands available on the market. Generally, they all use touch buttons to control cooking functions and modes.

Typically, for these products, cooking modes such as regular rice, porridge, and quick-cooking are pre-programmed, so users only need to press a button for the cooker to perform its “task.”
More complex modes require multiple operations, such as setting cooking times for dishes that are not pre-programmed, including timing for cooking, reheating, simmering, and scheduling cooking times…
A Variety of Choices
Currently, rice cookers on the market include brands like Tiger, Panasonic, National, Sharp, Toshiba, Hitachi, Jojirushi, Ichiban, Gali, and Bora…
All the aforementioned products are imported, making it difficult to find one with a Vietnamese-language catalog. Some products even have control panels entirely in Japanese.
According to some users, this product can be relatively challenging to operate. Therefore, it is advisable to request thorough instructions from the seller when purchasing.
