Xiaomi looks set to bring another smart kitchen gadget to global markets. The upcoming Mijia Smart Steam Air Fryer 7L combines air frying with steam cooking, and even adds support for sous vide-style cooking.
If it sounds familiar, that’s because Xiaomi already launched a similar model in China earlier. This version bumps the capacity up to 7 liters, making it more suitable for larger meals or batch cooking.
In terms of features, it covers quite a bit. Xiaomi lists 10 cooking modes, including steaming, fermenting, dehydrating, defrosting, and reheating. The sous vide part is interesting here. Traditionally, that requires a separate setup with a water bath, but Xiaomi seems to be using a built-in 1.5L water tank to replicate a similar effect. Exact details aren’t fully clear yet, but it’s likely tied to how the device handles steam and temperature control.
Speaking of temperature, the fryer supports a wide range from 40°C to 230°C, so it can handle both low-temp cooking and high-heat roasting. For steam, it can go up to around 130°C, which should help cook food faster compared to a standard steamer.
There’s also a hybrid mode that combines hot air and steam. That’s meant to keep food moist inside while still getting a crispy finish on the outside.
On the smart side, it supports HyperOS Connect, so you can control it through the Xiaomi Home app. That includes adjusting settings remotely, browsing recipes, and even linking it with Google Home for voice commands.
Compared to Xiaomi’s existing models like the 6.5L version already available in some markets, this one feels like a step up in terms of flexibility rather than just size.
There’s no confirmed global pricing or release date yet. But if it lands in markets like Europe, it could be a decent option for anyone looking to replace multiple kitchen appliances with a single device.
