Panasonic's fully automatic rice cooker 'SR-AX1' that can automatically weigh and remotely control rice Appearance review



When cooking rice, it is necessary to measure the rice and water and put it in the rice cooker. Also, even though you made a reservation to cook rice, you tend to have the problem of not being able to eat freshly cooked rice due to a sudden change in schedule. The fully automatic rice cooker ' SR-AX1 ' scheduled to be released by Panasonic in early July 2023 can automatically measure and add rice and water, and even cook rice. It is also possible to set the rice cooking time from outside. Since such SR-AX1 arrived at the editorial department, I first carefully observed the exterior.

There are three operation buttons, 'CANCEL', 'RICE' and 'START', and they are touch type.



When you open the lid of the rice tank, it looks like this. There is no lock on the lid, just lift it lightly to open it. The maximum amount of rice that can be stored in the rice tank is 2 kg (about 13.3 go).



On the back of the lid of the rice tank, there are details about when an error is displayed.



The water tank can be removed from the main unit and filled with water. The water tank can be removed by sliding it up. Capacity is up to 600mL.
