I tried cooking rice with Panasonic's smart rice cooker 'SR-AX1' that can automatically weigh rice and water and cook rice remotely
The fully automatic rice cooker ' SR-AX1 ', which Panasonic will release in early July 2023, can fully automatically measure and add rice and water, and even cook rice. In addition, the SR-AX1 can be linked with a smartphone app, allowing you to set the cooking time and the amount of rice to suit your schedule while away from home. Since such SR-AX1 arrived at the editorial department, I tried actually cooking rice this time, following

I will cook rice using SR-AX1 at once. First, open the lid of the rice tank on the top of the main unit and put rice in the rice tank. The maximum capacity at that time is 2 kg (about 13.3 go), and it is necessary to put in rinse-free rice.
Remove the water tank on the back by pulling it up.
Add water up to the 'MAX' line. The maximum capacity of the water tank is 500mL.
After adding water, set the tank again.
Place the inner pot into the ohitsu container.
Twist the lid to lock it.
Set the ohitsu on the main body.
The preparation for cooking rice is now complete. To cook rice, first press the 'RICE' button on the top of the main unit to determine the amount of rice to cook. Each time you press the button, the number of marks displayed above 'RICE' changes from 2 → 3 → 4 → 1. In addition, the amount of rice that can be cooked per mark is about 0.5 go.
After deciding the amount of rice to cook, press the 'START' button to start cooking.
At that time, you can quickly cook by pressing the button twice.
It is possible to cook rice by operating the main unit, but SR-AX1 can also start cooking remotely from the 'KitchenPocket' application. The following article summarizes how to link the KitchenPocket app with the SR-AX1 main unit.
To start cooking rice, first open the KitchenPocket app and select SR-AX1 from the registered home appliances column. This time, tap SR-AX1 registered with the nickname 'GIGAZINE'.
Then a page showing the status of the rice cooker opens. It is possible to start cooking rice immediately without specifying the time, but this time I will make a rice cooking reservation. To reserve rice cooking, tap the time column displayed as '17:00'.
On this screen, you can select the cooking method, rice hardness, amount of rice to be cooked, time to finish cooking, etc.
You can choose how to cook the rice from `` silver rice '', `` quick cooking '', `` for curry '', `` whole rice '', `` 5 minutes rice ''. This time I chose 'Gin Shari'. According to the instruction manual, the estimated rice cooking time is about 52 minutes for 0.5 go for 'silver rice' and about 40 minutes for 'quick cooking'.
In the 'preferred cooking method adjustment', you can freely choose the hardness of your favorite rice from 'soft' and 'hard' in 7 levels.
Tap 'cooking amount' to adjust the amount of rice to cook.
Set the desired amount between 'large,' 'medium,' and 'small,' up to 2 go. In addition, a maximum of 2 cups can be set for a large serving of about 0.75 go, a maximum of 4 cups can be set for a medium serving of about 0.5 go, and a maximum of 8 cups can be set for a small serving of about 0.25 go.
In addition to the above, you can also directly specify 'to cook XX go' between 0.5 go and 2 go. This time, specify '1 go' and tap 'OK' to return to the setting screen.
You can set the time to complete cooking by tapping 'Finished'. This time I made a reservation at 15:30, about 1 hour and 5 minutes later.
When the settings are complete, tap the 'Start cooking' button.
A confirmation screen will be displayed, so tap 'OK'.
A 'beep' sound is heard from the main unit, and the 'send complete' screen is displayed. It can be closed by pressing 'Done'.
When you return to the status confirmation screen, the status of the rice cooker changes to 'reserved' and the cooking time is shown.
When you start cooking rice, the water and rice are automatically put into the inner pot in that order. The following video shows rice and water being put into the SR-AX1.
During cooking, the gauge progresses steadily toward the completion of cooking.
About 60 minutes after adding rice and water, the rice was cooked exactly at the reservation time with the sound of 'pipy'. In addition, since SR-AX1 does not have a heat retention function, it is necessary to eat immediately after cooking or store it in a freezer. That's why I will take out the rice bowl from the main body at once.
When you open the lid of the ohitsu, it looks like this.
Use a rice scoop to loosen the rice.
Put the rice in a bowl.
When I try to eat it, the rice is not sticky or sticky, and it is cooked plumply.
After cooking rice, wash the inner pot and the lid of the rice bowl, wash the lid of the inner pot and rice bowl, and discard the water in the water tank.
In addition, it is necessary to wipe the plate on which the Ohitsu was on, the bottom sensor, and the connecting packing with a tightly wrung cloth.
Panasonic 'SR-AX1' is scheduled to be released in early July 2023, and the selling price is an open price. Amazon.co.jp is scheduled to be released on July 1, 2023 at the time of article creation, and can be pre-purchased for 45,540 yen including tax.
