Emir BardakçıXiaomi has officially introduced its latest innovation, the Mijia Smart Variable Pressure IH Rice Cooker 4L, targeting families seeking both convenience and top-tier rice quality. This new appliance marks a significant advancement in Xiaomi’s smart kitchen lineup, offering variable pressure technology that allows users to fine-tune rice texture and quality according to personal or family preferences.
This is Xiaomi’s first foray into variable-pressure rice cookers, combining tried-and-true IH (induction heating) methods with the intelligence of today’s smart home features. The 4L capacity is designed to serve mid-sized households—accommodating four to five people comfortably—while integrating seamlessly with Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem. For users already leveraging Xiaomi’s HyperOS, the rice cooker can be centrally managed and enhanced through the MemeOS Enhancer app, streamlining smart home control and monitoring.
Variable Pressure Technology for Customization
A key differentiator for the Mijia Smart Rice Cooker is its adjustable pressure capability. Users can select between 1.0x, 1.2x, and 2.0x atmospheric pressure, allowing precise control over the cooking process. This flexibility enables customization of rice texture—whether the goal is stickier rice for sushi or fluffier grains for everyday meals. Xiaomi’s patented sustained boiling technology further ensures that each batch is aromatic and evenly cooked, elevating the typical home rice-cooking experience to near-restaurant standards.
Extensive Recipe Database Integration
Xiaomi has built a robust recipe database, offering over 3,000 optimized programs tailored to major rice types, including Northeastern, Thai fragrant, and silky rice. The system intelligently adjusts heating and timing for each variety, while providing nine different texture profiles. This level of customization supports a wide spectrum of family preferences and accommodates diverse culinary traditions.
High-Performance Heating and Efficiency
Performance-wise, the new cooker features a powerful 1390W heating system and an extra-long 14,000mm IH coil, ensuring uniform heat distribution and faster cooking. Users benefit from significantly reduced preparation times; a batch of rice can be ready in just 14 minutes—roughly double the efficiency of traditional methods.
Additional features include:
- 8-hour automatic warming function post cooking
- 3mm thick titanium coating, free from fluorine and heavy metals
- Three-dimensional heating for consistent results
- IH spherical package heating technology
Integrated Smart Home Connectivity
The Mijia Smart Rice Cooker fits neatly into Xiaomi’s smart ecosystem, with app-based control via Mijia and support for Xiao Ai voice commands. Users can remotely start, pause, or schedule cooking, download additional recipes, and sync data across devices. The appliance is equipped with a color display, intuitive touch controls, and an electronic pressure lock, removing the need for manual adjustments and ensuring a seamless, user-friendly experience.
The cooker is launching at a pre-sale price of 1,999 yuan (approximately $275 USD), initially available in China.
