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.
