Xiaomi continues to expand its premium smart home appliance portfolio with the official listing of the Mijia Smart IH Rice Cooker P1 4L on JD.com. Following the successful launch of its smaller 3L sibling just ten days ago, this new 4L model brings enhanced capacity and cutting-edge induction heating technology to the kitchen. Currently introduced exclusively for the Chinese market, this launch highlights Xiaomi’s dedication to integrating everyday appliances into its broader smart ecosystem.
Pro-Level Cooking Technology & Hardware Specs
The Mijia Smart IH Rice Cooker P1 4L is engineered to deliver what Xiaomi calls “10A premium-grade rice” using a highly advanced thermal architecture. Here is a breakdown of the technical components driving this new appliance:
-
1.2x High-Pressure Cooking: The appliance utilizes a specialized self-heating IH (Induction Heating) system that generates 1.2 times standard atmospheric pressure. This specific pressure calibration ensures a perfectly chewy and elastic texture (often referred to in Chinese markets as “Q-bounce”).
-
0-Fluorine Titanium Kettle: At the heart of the cooker is a 2.5mm thick titanium inner pot. Crucially, it features a health-focused 0-fluorine coating, ensuring safety without sacrificing non-stick properties. Its super-circular arc bottom allows rice grains to tumble freely during the boil.
-
3D Intense Surround Heating: The system is powered by a thickened, surrounding induction coil that provides powerful three-dimensional heating. Furthermore, a top-heating element is integrated to significantly reduce condensation and water backflow when opening the lid, preventing the top layer of rice from becoming soggy.
-
10-Stage Perfect Cooking Curve: The internal sensors and software regulate the cooking process through a precise 10-step temperature curve, optimizing the release of starches and flavors.
-
Patented Safety: The device incorporates a patented electromagnetic pressure relief system to guarantee safety during high-pressure operation.
User Experience & Market Impact
Beyond the raw hardware, the user experience is heavily refined. The 4L capacity is substantial enough to serve up to 16 bowls of rice, making it ideal for larger families.
The exterior retains Xiaomi’s signature minimalist white design, featuring an upgraded stainless steel inner lid that is both durable and easy to detach for cleaning. An integrated “smart mini black screen” provides clear LED digital readouts with eight easy-to-select functions at a glance. Additionally, the inner pot features highly precise water level lines for foolproof water-to-rice ratios.
Through the Mijia App, users can remotely control the cooking process and access over 100 cloud-based smart recipes, seamlessly integrating meal prep into their daily routines.

As mentioned, this product is currently exclusive to China.
-
The newly launched 4L model is priced at 1,099 CNY (approximately $152 USD).
-
