There are 4 options for cooking rice - ‘LONG GRAIN’, ‘SHORT GRAIN’, ‘BROWN’ and ‘QUICK’.
The maximum capacity of this appliance is 3.5 cups (180ml cup) for WHITE rice and 2.5 cups (180ml cup) for

Panda is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain
nutrients. These phases are Preheat, Absorb water, Heating, Boiling, Braising, Absorb water and then finally Keep warm
(in this order). This phased cooking and adjustments in temperature are controlled using Panda’s fuzzy logic processor.
