Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has launched a smart cooking machine under crowdfunding on the Youpin platform. The product’s name translates as Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 and is a sub-brand of Chinese company Joyoung Group known for manufacturing household and industrial appliances. 
Joyoung’s Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 comes in a compact size but has a large volume of 3 liters. The pot is big enough to cook meals for 3 to 4 persons at a time. In terms of usability, the smart cooking device comes with four common cooking modes, which include stir-frying, braised, frying, and steaming. These modes can take care of most of the meals people cook.
The Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 is also easy to operate as the mode can be set via the handle. All the user has to do is to add all the ingredients, as well as the seasonings, and then close the lid before selecting the cooking mode at the handle of the pot. The cooking time is preset with the different modes. 
Further, the Smart Cooking Machine can be controlled directly via the MIJIA app where the user can set customize the cooking time as desired and the intensity of the heat. The app also gives users access to hundreds of recipes.
As stated earlier, the Solista Smart Cooking Machine CJ01 is presently available on the Xiaomi Youpin website for just 499 yuan (~$78). The product is expected to start shipping before July 21.
