Xiaomi has introduced the Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2, a versatile smart rice cooker that targets various household sizes and cooking preferences. Starting at an affordable 349 yuan (about $50), the rice cooker is now open for pre-orders in China. Designed with modern kitchens in mind, it promises consistent rice quality thanks to its induction heating system and a fluorine-free ceramic-coated inner pot.
Available in four sizes-2L, 3L, 4L, and 5L-the Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2 caters to one-person households up to large families. The smallest 2L model is ideal for up to three people, cooking about eight bowls of rice, while the larger 5L model can handle up to 20 bowls, suitable for bigger groups or gatherings. The IH (Induction Heating) technology ensures even heating, minimizing hotspots so that each grain cooks uniformly for a soft, glossy finish.
What sets this rice cooker apart is its fluorine-free ceramic-coated pot, made with a high-temperature sintering process that fuses ceramic tightly to the metal core. This multi-layer pot combines a non-stick ceramic surface with a wear-resistant zone and a heat-conducting aluminum base, improving heat retention and making cleanup easier. By ditching fluorine coatings, Xiaomi taps into safer materials without sacrificing performance.
The Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2 supports eight cooking modes, including standard rice, porridge, soup, steaming, reheating, and even cake. A 24-hour timer and a 12-hour keep-warm feature add convenience, while a Perfect Cook temperature control system uses nine precise stages-from soaking to simmering-to fine-tune heat and cooking duration automatically. The upgraded foam breaker prevents spillovers when cooking porridge or soup, and it’s detachable for easy cleaning. A modern touch control panel with display completes the package.
Xiaomi’s launch continues its steady expansion into smart kitchen appliances, following recent releases like the energy-efficient Mijia Air Conditioner Energy Saving Pro and an affordable 10kg top-load washing machine. For households looking for an accessible, intelligent rice cooker with advanced features and safer materials, the Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2 is a smart new option-available now for shoppers in China.
