Xiaomi rice cookers are among the most popular smart home products in the Chinese tech giant’s catalog. Xiaomi first launched a rice cooker in 2016 and launched its first rice cooker in Japan in 2019. Even in Japan where rice cookers are common household appliances, Xiaomi’s own rice cooker has over the years proven to be very popular in the Asian country. Xiaomi has now launched the MIJIA Smart Rice Cooker 3L, a portable version that also won’t put a hole in your pockets.

The MIJIA Smart Rice Cooker 3L, as the name implies, is equipped with a 3L container. It is similar to the MIJIA Smart IH Rice Cooker 3L which is on sale for 349 yuan (~$54). However, this new version comes with a screen at the top just like the pricier MIJIA Smart Pressure IH Rice Cooker 1S 3L that carries a 999 yuan (~$154) price tag.

The new rice cooker is equipped with IH Surround heating technology and a spherical pressure accumulating valve design, which makes the rice more delicate and sweet. It also has a 3mm thick base material liner, and the surface is sprayed with a new generation of Daikin PFA powder non-stick coating.

It is also worth mentioning that the MIJIA Smart Rice Cooker 3L is equipped with NFC technology. This makes it possible to operate the gadget right from your NFC-enabled smartphone. it also comes with support for voice control using the XiaoAI smart speaker. It carries a crowdfunding price of 449 yuan (~$69) but it will retail in China for 499 yuan (~$77) after the crowdfunding exercise.
