Bamboo is also a multi award winning rice cooker with accolades from many publications including: BBC Good Food, The Telegraph, Expert Reviews, Ideal Home and T3. Bamboo Is A Master Of Rice Cooking Bamboo uses our UMAI IH with AI (or smart brain) to control it's advanced magnetic coil heating system that ensures perfect cooking every time. You can cook long grain, short grain (including sushi and glutinous rice), brown rice (short or long grain). Bamboo doesn’t just cook perfect rice, it cooks other grains like quinoa, cous cous, millet and pearl barley perfectly too. The add on functions include a porridge setting that can be used for rice porridge or oat porridge, slow cook (which can be used for casseroles/stews or joints of meat), steaming (stainless steam basket included), cake baking and crust (for Persian Tahdig). Bamboo has a unique rice cooking feature for any type of white rice – Yumami which was designed and developed by Yum Asia. This is a specific cooking cycle with different temperatures, it releases sugars contained in the rice to heighten the 'Umami' taste sense of the tongue and this phased rice cooking is said to make the rice tasted sweeter and 'moreish', hence the name Yumami. Bamboo also features a setting for GABA brown. This GABA setting soaks and activates any type of brown rice to release the gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA in the brown rice and multiplies the rice nutrient value. 24 Hour Keep Warm and Pre-set Timer Bamboo has a 24 hours automatic keep warm - it keeps rice at an ideal serving temperature until it's ready to be served. There is a countdown indicator during the cooking cycle and when the rice is cooked a beep sounds and the cooker automatically shifts to keep warm mode. For added convenience, there is a pre-set time function which can be set up to 24 hours in advance, so you can have delicious rice ready for when you come in from work or nice, steaming hot porridge waiting on a cold winter's morning. MoTouch Control Panel Bamboo has unique Asian styling with a tough, hard-wearing and easy to clean thermoplastic polymer exterior in a luxurious brushed metallic effect body. It has a state of the art Korean designed Motouch control panel with an ice white colour LED display which is super-sharp and bright. Unlike other rice cookers, the control panel doesn't have any buttons, the Motouch is pressure/touch sensitive and detects your finger when you place it on an icon. Everything You Need To Cook Like A Professional At Yum Asia we don't just design our premium rice cookers to just cook rice perfectly, we also design them to look stylish and modern in your kitchen. For Bamboo, we chose this contemporary exterior is accented by a black lid with our signature diamond pattern to highlight that our UMAI IH technology is something special. With your Bamboo you will receive a rice measuring cup for convenient rice measurements to cook just the amount of rice you need. You get a rice spatula to help with rice service. A steaming tray to place above the rice you are cooking which is perfect for steaming vegetables and other foods. Bamboo is designed to be used on 220-240V, 50Hz power and is supplied with detachable power cord and plug for the UK. Bamboo’s ‘UMAI IH with AI’ means that the rice is cooked evenly and fast. Multiple magnetic inductive coils within the bottom of the rice cooker create a magnetic field so when the Joubu 3mm thick ceramic coated inner bowl is placed into the rice cooker and the unit is activated, that magnetic field creates instant heat. Using this technology, the inner cooking bowl itself, rather than the heating element, becomes the heat source then, utilising both high heat and fine heat adjustments to very accurately and carefully control the cooking process. The UMAI IH also causes 'swirl' heating currents that agitates every grain in the pot. This produces a more even rice cooking process so the grains are more delicately cooked enhanced by the 360/3D design of the contained cooking area which bounces the heat into the contents of Joubu for targeted heating. The UMAI inductive heating carefully controls temperature for the efficient cooking of many different types of rice using multi phased cooking. These phases include - rising boil, steam, braise, boil, water absorption, accelerate heat, sugar release, nutrient reabsorption, cool down and more) all temperature and time controlled automatically by our advanced UMAI fuzzy logic (AI smart brain) . Premium And Unique Rice Cooking Functions Unique GABA And Yumami Functions Bamboo GABA brown and Yumami white rice settings are designed and developed by Yum Asia. Our Yumami setting releases sugars and other nutrients contained in white rice to increase the natural 'Umami' taste sense of the tongue. This special phased rice cooking is said to make the rice tasted sweeter and 'moreish' with an improved texture (hence the name - Yumami). Our GABA setting soaks and activates any type of brown rice by heating the rice to specific temperatures in order to release the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brown rice. This turns 'sleeping' rice into 'alive' rice and the process multiplies the rice nutrient value so the rice is more delicious. The Power Of UMAI IH + AI UMAI (AI smart brain) IH technology can fine adjust the heat applied to the Joubu bowl rather than the contents and agitates the grains so that they are more evenly cooked. It is an 8 cup rice cooker but you can cook as little as 1 cup and the IH heating means that more advanced cooking can be achieved White / Long Grain Short Grain (for sushi) Brown rice and GABA brown rice Yumami white rice (extra taste) Tahdig rice (Persian crust) Porridge (oat and rice) Slow Cooking (stews, casseroles etc) Cake (even cheesecake!) Steam Designed By People That Know Rice Cooking "We are the rice cooking experts!" At Yum Asia we love Asian food but found that the biggest problem is that we couldn't replicate the perfect rice we found when we were in restaurants! No matter how hard we tried, rice cooked in a saucepan just wasn't the same. After some really disastrous purchases of non-fuzzy logic rice cookers, which rather than cooking the perfect rice we were looking for, just spat out starchy water all over our kitchen worktop, we bought a fuzzy logic rice cooker and it changed the way we cook completely. From 2006 onward we coined the phrase 'Perfect rice at the touch of a button'. Review: Worth the investment! - Brilliant rice cooker and steamer! Haven’t tried out the other functions yet but it is just what we were looking for. It is a more expensive model but worth it, as we have previously been let down by cheaper brands breaking after only a few months. It’s easy to use and clean. The perfect size to cook for a family. Really pleased with this purchase. Review: Top quality - Highly recommended. I have been after a rice cooker for a while and opted for the YumAsia Bamboo, as it offered yumami, gaba and 'tahdig' cooking options. The Bamboo is a little on the expensive side but after trying the various programs I am really impressed with the results and I now think it was well worth the extra outlay.....without exaggeration I can say that rice has cooked superbly. The machine is sleek and stylish - the brushed metal finish and funky control panel gives it an ultra modern look. It is simple to use and easy to clean. The follow up email from YumAsia is a really nice touch and gives a sense that the company genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. ## Features - UMAI INDUCTION HEATING RICE COOKER TECHNOLOGY (IH) - 'Umai IH' (or smart brain) is a highly advanced IH phased rice cooking system that guarantees perfect results with custom-tailored multi-function features, including steaming, porridge, slow cooking, cake cooking, and crust (tahdig). 24-hour preset timer and keep warm functions. - A MASTER OF RICE COOKING - Settings for white/long grain rice, short grain/sushi rice, brown rice, GABA and Yumemi (additional flavor).
