Xiaomi has announced its first smart variable-pressure IH (Induction Heating) rice cooker under the Mijia brand. The device features a 4-liter capacity and is priced at 1999 yuan ($280). It is designed for families of four to five members and supports advanced pressure modulation and smart cooking controls.
Xiaomi Mijia IH Rice Cooker Specifications
The rice cooker introduces a three-stage variable pressure system that allows users to choose between 1.0x, 1.2x, and 2.0x pressure levels. This design lets the appliance adjust internal conditions to suit different rice types and cooking preferences. It supports soft, firm, sticky, or chewy textures through automated pressure and temperature tuning.
Xiaomi claims that its patented long-boil technology enhances the flavor, texture, and aroma of rice. The cooker can sustain high-temperature boiling for up to 39 minutes, which helps with starch gelatinization. The company states that this method improves fluffiness by 22%, aroma by 52%, and sweetness by 58% when compared to older models.
The rice cooker uses an IH spherical heating system with 1390W power output. It includes a 14-meter long heating coil that enables 360-degree uniform heat distribution. Xiaomi has added a triple-zone heating design, including heating rings in the lid, around the waist, and at the base. The device can keep rice warm for up to eight hours and offers a quick-cook mode that finishes in 14 minutes, about 50% faster than conventional options.
The cooking pot is made from 3mm-thick titanium with a fluoride-free coating. It features a five-layer composite structure using food-grade 304 stainless steel and aluminum for safe heat conduction and durability. Xiaomi says the pot does not leach heavy metals and meets long-term safety standards.
The cooker features a large color touchscreen, Mi Home app integration, and XiaoAi voice assistant support. Meals can be scheduled, progress tracked in real time, and custom recipes shared through the app. The lid uses an electronic locking mechanism powered by a motor, and multiple Hall sensors detect proper lid placement.
Xiaomi equips the cooker with 16 safety protections. These include overpressure release valves, temperature limiters, anti-block filters, and lid detection mechanisms. The product also includes a stainless steel steamer basket, removable components for cleaning, and a high-temperature steam-cleaning mode to eliminate odor and residue.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a mini inflator with 150psi capacity and smart pressure modes, and also introduced a toothbrush with a built-in screen that runs for 180 days on a single charge.
