Rice Cookers
Cuckoo 10-Cup HP Twin Pressure Rice Cooker
Pressure Rice Cookers for Perfect Results
Pressure rice cookers cook rice faster and at higher temperatures than standard models - producing consistently fluffy, evenly cooked results across white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, and multi-grain settings. Induction heating models offer even more precise temperature control throughout the cooking cycle.
Micom and Standard Rice Cookers
Micom (microcomputer-controlled) rice cookers automatically adjust cooking time and temperature based on the rice type selected - taking the guesswork out of getting the right texture every time. Compact 1L models suit 1-2 people; larger 10-cup models suit families and batch cooking.
Commercial Rice Cookers
Large-capacity commercial rice cookers in the 7L+ range are suited to catering, restaurants, and large households that cook rice in bulk - delivering consistent results across large volumes without monitoring.
Multicookers combine pressure cooking, slow cooking, sauteing, steaming, and more in a single appliance - reducing the number of pots and pans needed and cutting cooking times significantly compared to conventional methods. An 8L capacity suits families of 4+ and batch cooking.
Multi-Pressure Cookers
Premium multi-pressure cookers offer multiple pressure levels and cooking programs for different ingredients - from gentle low-pressure cooking for delicate foods to high-pressure settings that reduce tough cuts of meat to tender results in under an hour.
Slow cookers are ideal for soups, stews, casseroles, and braised meats - add your ingredients in the morning and come home to a ready meal. Low energy consumption makes them an economical choice for long, slow cooking on NZ winter days.
Fast Slow Cooker Combos
Fast slow cookers combine pressure cooking and slow cooking in one unit - giving you the flexibility to slow cook overnight or pressure cook a stew in under an hour when time is short, without needing two separate appliances.
A dedicated rice cooker is simpler to use and optimised specifically for rice - worth it if you cook rice daily. A multicooker replaces a rice cooker, slow cooker, steamer, and pressure cooker in one unit - better value if bench space is limited and you want versatility.
Capacity
For 1-2 people, a 1-3L rice cooker or 3-4L slow cooker is sufficient. Families of 4+ should look at 5L+ multicookers or 10-cup rice cookers to avoid cooking in multiple batches. Commercial rice cookers suit 20+ servings per cook.
Pressure Cooking vs Slow Cooking
Pressure cooking dramatically reduces cooking time - a beef stew that takes 8 hours in a slow cooker can be ready in under an hour. Slow cooking develops deeper flavour over time and requires no monitoring. Both have their place - a fast slow cooker combo gives you both options in one appliance.
