I bought a same rice cooker in China and carried it to Australia. It works perfectly in Australia because both countries have the same power 🔌. I love the rice that cooked by this rice cooker, yum . And I also make yogurt with it 😋. Hey mate, why don’t you just input a Chinese city 北京 it is a bit annoying that pops out each time you open the app. Did you spend 130 dollars on it? Wow, kinda expensive to get it huh? It cost me only AU$80 when I bought in China. Anyways really glad to watch your video. Cheers
God video! Godt råd.. Pas på med at sige øøøøhhh hele tiden!:) Og aldrig spis i baggrunden.. Lyder ikke behageligt... Du kan sagtens testspise inden du optager!:) Men ellers super fed video!
Making a cake is not gimicky side. We make bread in them. We make toast in them. We make bread pudding in them. We cook pancakes in them. We boil eggs in them. We make omelette in them. We steam fish in them. We make soup in them. A rice cooker isnt just a rice cooker in asia. It's basically a steam oven with better design. Honestly its a waste if you only use this xiaomi cooker only for cooking rice.
@@abbecabecadowski6844 I'm a little unsure where the 3L comes from. I can confirm that I have the "3L" version, which can take up to 6 cups of rice -> 1.5 liter of water.
Err err err. Next video pls. Jk bro I still supported you and liked your video man. Keep it up and get it better bro and no err bro. It doesn't make the video good man. All the best in making better videos 😊
Hi! Great review! I also feel that there is not enough reviews of this rice cooker. I have a question to you :) In my place I can see only 1L version but on Chinese stores I can see 3L version. I check dimensions of both devices and they are the same. I'm confused right now. During movie you said that you have 3L version, which allows to cook 3L of rice. Is it true that your rice cooker can fit 3L of rice and water for it? Or this is just 3L capacity in total? Can you confirm that your device have 25.00 x 20.00 x 30.00?
Hi Abbec - just messured it :) Its 29.5 cm long, 24,5 cm wide and 19,5 cm high. If I pour water up to the maximum 6 cups of rice mark, it's 1.5 liter of water. Hope that answers your question :)
@@TooManyGadgets big thanks! And sorry for double post :) I wanted to be sure that I will not buy something 'small'. My version is described as Capacity: 1L, but its able to fit the same amount of water and rice. It's weird.

Hi Ira. No - mine does not have a buzzing sound. That is usually an electrical "humming" what you're describing and is normally caused by the power supply within electrical gear
Awesome review..I just bought it..I have a stupid question I downloaded the app and everything looks fine but I cant turn off the device,its always on stand my mode..can I turn the device off or just unplug the device?
Hi Christos. Not a stupid question. So once you power it on, it will go into standby - and you cannot turn it off using the app. You need to unplug it. I guess it's designed that way, so you can prepare it in the morning, and then start the program remotely on you way home from work.

Hi Sally. So the default program takes 1 hour and is not dependent on how much rice you've added. It also has a quick program which to the best of my memory is 40 minutes
3 роки тому
14:25 of course they want to know your location so they can gather user data.
Hi Georg - its actually to set the timezone correctly - so no worries.
3 роки тому
@@TooManyGadgets well, all companies try to gather as much user data as they can. But in the end, it's just rice cooker usage statistics, so it's not any sensitive data
I have the same xiaomi cooker and overall the quality is very good. Still a huge disappointment is the cooking time - even the "quick rice" option is too slow. I just don't know why it needs twice or triple the time of a cheaper product. The difference in the result is just not big enough.
Christian K I do agere that this is a product for those who want the 20-30% improvement and willing to wait for that. But with the scheduling function you can always plan ahead so it’s ready when you want it.
@@TooManyGadgets do you know how faster the pressure model is? And one thing I noticed is that there's only 2 graduation in the bowl? On other rice cookers like Zojirushi or Cuckoo, there's at least 4 I think... to best match all type of rice.
Hi @@BC-st7je the model I have will at the fastest take 40 minutes and using the normal programs take 60 minutes. There are 5 marks within the bowl (a little unsure if that's what you refer to as graduation) to assist you in how much water you pour into the bowl. Please ask again if I misunderstood your question :)
@@TooManyGadgets My mistake... bad english :-D! I was talking about "scales" (?) available in the bowl. Like in this Zujirushi bowl: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81TX9jy1BBL._AC_SX522_.jpg there's 4 different scales available depending on what you're cooking. Anyway I ordered the Xiaomi YLIH02CM (with pressure) can not be worse than my on-off rice cooker :-D and the price is OK compared to Zujirushi/Cuckoo rice cookers.
Navid Soltani welcome 😎. I believe it’s received one minor update. But to be honest it’s still very much the same. But I don’t find the software part problematic - you get used to it super fast, and I really appreciate the better quality rice I feel I’m getting now. Especially the texture is very noticeable.
@@TooManyGadgets thanks for the review, I went and ordered the 3l version because of it on amazon. What I received was the 1 liter version but that's beside the point here) The FAQ for the IH rice cooker in the app warns you not to use the bowl to rinse your rice in because the coating would wear off too quickly. Seems bizar. It implies the coating is actually quite weak. It also says no soupmaking with any bones not to scratch the liner. :-/
This is not a good comparison, your old rice cooker is really the lowest quality you can purchase so no wonder that the new one is performing better. Also I question why you would need an app to cook rice 😂
Hi Gregor. So the old one I was using is pretty standard for many. The point of this video is to show what you get if you consider spending extra money on buying a smart rice cooker. You can cook rice without it - but it gives you some options that are not possible with traditional rice cookers. Like so many other things it's not need to have, but nice to have.
@@TooManyGadgets I am just saying if you compare with a decent rice cooker from Japan or Thailand then is might be more difficult to see why you need to buy this particular model but I agree that they are quite hard to find and not cheap either.

What was the ratio between rice and water? Asking for a friend :)
Making a cake is not gimicky side. We make bread in them. We make toast in them. We make bread pudding in them. We cook pancakes in them. We boil eggs in them. We make omelette in them. We steam fish in them. We make soup in them.

Hi - super interesting to hear your input. Could you add some more details about how you for instance make omelette in it
How can you make all that ? Isn't it damaging for the device?
You should use the flat paddle for loosening rice and serving. The spoon is more for congee and soup :) Copenhagen in Chinese is 哥本哈根

Navid Soltani - not that I’m aware of. But bowl is really sturdy and the coating seems very thick. So I’m expecting many years of faithful service 😉
@@TooManyGadgets Tack för svaret! Has the software improved anything at all since you bought it?
Navid Soltani welcome 😎. I believe it’s received one minor update. But to be honest it’s still very much the same. But I don’t find the software part problematic - you get used to it super fast, and I really appreciate the better quality rice I feel I’m getting now. Especially the texture is very noticeable.
@@TooManyGadgets Is the time-zone bug fixed? How is the process to set it to start cooking at 16:30 for example? Maybe I missed that part in the video
@@TooManyGadgets thanks for the review, I went and ordered the 3l version because of it on amazon. What I received was the 1 liter version but that's beside the point here) The FAQ for the IH rice cooker in the app warns you not to use the bowl to rinse your rice in because the coating would wear off too quickly. Seems bizar. It implies the coating is actually quite weak. It also says no soupmaking with any bones not to scratch the liner. :-/
Can you use the xiaomi rice cooker for mixed grain rice?
LH yes. But you have to wash and let the rice soak for several hours before cooking them.
Cool but a bit long.
Still has a non stick coating. Just bought a rice cooker with stainless inner pot.
It does use PFA powder coating from Daikin which is non stick.
Ok I see EU in video
Most important comment at 2:40 ... wife does not need to use app.
happy wife happy life ;)
Jasmine rice is really too dry to do this.😂
We really prefer Jasmine rice over the traditional rice they sell in Denmark - I would expect that you have more choices than us in regards to this :)
WTF! I didn't get the veggie steamer thing!!! What the hell!
to be honest jody, I have only used it once, and it wasn't a big hit. But the rice cooking part is freaking awsome
This is not a good comparison, your old rice cooker is really the lowest quality you can purchase so no wonder that the new one is performing better. Also I question why you would need an app to cook rice 😂
Hi Gregor. So the old one I was using is pretty standard for many. The point of this video is to show what you get if you consider spending extra money on buying a smart rice cooker. You can cook rice without it - but it gives you some options that are not possible with traditional rice cookers. Like so many other things it's not need to have, but nice to have.
@@TooManyGadgets I am just saying if you compare with a decent rice cooker from Japan or Thailand then is might be more difficult to see why you need to buy this particular model but I agree that they are quite hard to find and not cheap either.
China only has 1 time zone.
right - I'm guessing that its more to do with the city's height above the water line, which could affect the air
