Why the NW-YAQ Series Excels

🔥 Advanced Pressure & Induction Heating

At its core, the NW-YAQ10/18 uses a Pressure → Induction Heating (IH) system, combining the gentle efficiency of IH with the depth of pressure cooking. This results in plumper grains, deeper flavour, and ideal moisture retention — characteristics often associated with professional kitchens. 

The specially designed thick spherical inner pan (1.7 mm) ensures even heat circulation and consistent cooking, so every grain cooks uniformly. 


🍚 Versatile Cooking for Modern Lifestyles

The NW-YAQ series isn’t limited to white rice. Its multi-menu settings cover a wide variety of grains and dishes:

  • White rice (regular or quick)

  • Brown rice / GABA brown rice for added nutrition

  • Multi-grain blends, quinoa, and even steel-cut oatmeal for wholesome meals

  • Mixed rice, soft/firm rice preferences

  • Quick cooking and congee/risotto-style settings for soups, porridges or porridge-like dishes JAPAN PLAZA UK+1

This flexibility makes it ideal for families, health-conscious cooks, or anyone who enjoys experimenting beyond basic rice.
