Multi language instruction manual (EN, FR, DE, IT and ES) Multi Award Winning: THE TELEGRAPH - 'Best Carb Changing Rice Cooker' (Nov, 2025) and Best Buy Rice Cooker (Nov, 2025), THE DAILY MEAL - 'Best Rice Cooker' (Jan, 2023), EXPRESS UK - 'Best Fluffy Rice Cooker' (March, 2021) Kumo has a small footprint and stylish industrial look but is big on functionality - it's ideal for smaller kitchens, individuals or couples. It is a mid sized cooker where functionality is not affected by it's size. This is because we packed Kumo full of useful rice cooker functions and useful add on multi functions. The advanced fuzzy logic technology (AI) automatically controls the temperature for the efficient and perfect cooking of many different types of rice...you can cook long grain, short grain (including sushi and glutinous rice), brown rice (short or long grain). Kumo 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 porridge that can be used for rice porridge or oat porridge, slow cook and steam (using the stainless steel steam tray included). Kumo is unique in that it also has a special ‘YumCarb’ setting which when cooked in the stainless steel steaming tray, the rice has a lower carb value by up to 25% (Based on lab testing, a reduction of 25% less carbohydrates was shown in white rice. Certified by Testing Institute of Product Quality Supervision, China). Advanced Fuzzy Logic (AI) Kumo has a multi-menu which uses advanced fuzzy logic (AI) technology to control the temperature for the efficient cooking of many different types of rice including white rice, short grain and brown rice along with our unique YumCarb settings for rice up to 25% lower in carbs value. Kumo is designed to cook rice using over 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain nutrients. This phased cooking and adjustments in temperature are controlled using Kumo’s fuzzy logic processor and ensure perfectly cooked rice every time. Kumo also counts down the final 10 minutes of rice cooking so you can see exactly when your rice is going to be ready to serve! Keep Warm/Timer Yum Asia’s rice cookers have 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 (you may find after 15 hours rice dries out). For added convenience, there is a pre-set timer 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. A Healthier Way To Cook Rice Kumo has YumCarb settings for both white and brown rice. By cooking rice in the provided stainless steel steaming tray, the rice is cooked in a special way so that the sugars in the rice are not re-absorbed and results in the cooked rice being up to 25% lower in carb value. Kumo has a Korean designed 'Smart Button' control panel with an easy to use ice white crisp and bright LED display. The buttons have been thoroughly tested for repeated pushing and to be hard wearing in even the most extreme kitchen conditions. With an added ‘off’ button Kumo is easy to turn on and off. All of this is built into a robust dark stainless steel industrial exterior with a small footprint for space saving in your kitchen but cooking ability for 1 to 5 people. Ninja Ceramic Bowl We have designed every aspect of Kumo with our customers in mind; we were tired of customers telling us that their rice cooker inner bowls would often disintegrate or become unstable. We designed the Ninja bowl to overcome these issues, it’s a hard-wearing, 5 layer inner bowl with a 2mm thick ceramic coating which is BPA-free and PTFE-free, with marks on the inner bowl for different rice types. The steam cap and condensation collector are removable for easy cleaning. Kumo uses advanced fuzzy logic (AI) to ensure rice is cooked perfectly every time. The graph above show how the fuzzy logic automatically adjusts the temperature using the weight and detecting the heat inside the bowl along with pre-programmed conditions to cook rice on a typical cooking cycle. Kumo also many phases of cooking which includes preheat, absorb water, heating, boiling, steam, cool down and keep warm with steam which are each calculated for time and temperature using the advanced fuzzy logic to create the perfect rice for your meal. Preheat – Kumo starts to gently heat the rice and water in the inner bowl to between 50-60°C. This begins the cooking cycle and is key to the release of sugars into the water from the rice grains. Absorb Water – The cooking temperature is further increased whilst the advanced fuzzy logic makes small adjustments to obtain a range of between 50-80°C so the rice can optimally start absorbing the water depending on the setting chosen. Heating – The temperature is increased again to between 75-85°C to start the actual cooking process. This varies depending on the setting chosen. Boiling – Kumo then rapidly increases the temperature to 100˚C boiling point to evaporate the majority of the water from the inner bowl and to further cook the rice part way. Steam – The steaming part of the cooking cycle enables the rice to continue cooking while reabsorbing the sugars in the remaining water back into the rice whilst simultaneously evaporating the remaining water. This part of the cycle makes the rice taste sweeter, more nutritious, have better aroma/texture and completes the final rice grain cooking. Cool Down – Water balancing then occurs using low temperature range cycling to ensure there is no remaining water left and that the rice has the correct moisture content. Keep Warm and Steam – The temperature is then held at an optimal 70-74°C to continue to steam the rice and keep the rice safe of bacteria etc . This ensures the rice is perfectly cooked, fluffy and delicious and ready for when you need it. The YumCarb rice cooking function is unique to Kumo. This is rice with a lower carb value than conventionally cooked rice. By placing the rice into the stainless steel YumCarb tray, the rice is submerged in water at the beginning of the cooking cycle. When first activated, the display shows 0:20 (or 0:40 for brown rice) and will stay this way during the first 20/40 minutes of the cooking cycle. During this time, Kumo is gradually raising the temperature inside the unit to the optimal temperature for boiling away the excess water. This process gives time for the starch to leech out of the rice and break down (starches are easily-dissolvable). The starchy water drains down through the holes in the YumCarb tray, which doesn’t allow for the starches that have leeched into the water to be reabsorbed into the rice. The rice finishes cooking during the last 20 minutes of the cooking cycle - Kumo will start counting down. This last phase of the cooking cycle is crucial as it steams the rice in a lowered carbohydrate state, thereby reducing their levels in the rice by up to 25% Kumo - A Healthier Way To Cook Rice Kumo has a robust 'Smart Button' control panel with an easy to read cool ice white crisp and bright LED display . The buttons have been thoroughly tested for repeated pushing and to be hard wearing in even the most extreme kitchen conditions and are easily wiped down for good hygiene. With your Kumo 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 with dimpled surface to help with rice service. A soup ladle and stainless steel steam tray to place above the rice you are cooking which is perfect for steaming vegetables and other foods but more importantly enables healthier rice with lowered carbohydrates. Kumo comes with a detachable UK 3 pin plug and power cord. Small Footprint - Ideal Capacity - Great Functions Kumo is perfect for singles, couples or families (1- 5 people) with it's small footprint 5.5 rice cup capacity (can cook as little as 1 cup) .. White/long grain, Short grain (for sushi) rice Brown rice Steam (vegetables etc) Porridge (oat, rice) Slow cook YumCarb (low carb) white rice YumCarb (low carb) brown rice 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: The best value fuzzy logic cooker in the UK - If money were no object, I'd import a Japanese Zojirushi or Tiger without question. But here in the UK, dealing with voltage converters and £300+ import fees is a hard pass. Instead, I picked the Yum Asia Kumo up on sale for £72. It is hands down the best value fuzzy logic cooker with a high quality ceramic bowl in this market. It is cheaper than its sibling, the Panda Mini, because it cuts the bloat. You mainly loses the 'cake baking' mode, but seriously who bakes cake inside a rice cooker? Instead, you gain the YumCarb basket and a larger capacity in return. It focuses entirely on being a rice cooker, though you can throw vegetables into the steel basket to steam alongside the rice for efficiency. For those new to fuzzy logic, the included guidebook covers the essentials nicely. To get great rice, the process is simple: measure, wash, fill to the lines, and select the function you want. Cleaning is straightforward. The 2mm thick 'Ninja' ceramic bowl is heavy, durable, and wipes clean instantly, avoiding the peeling issues common with cheap Teflon bowls that degrade after a few months. The star of the show is the YumCarb function, boasting a 25% carb reduction. Honestly, this is mostly marketing fluff. My photo shows this mode with Mai Thai AAA Fragrant Rice. The 25% reduction isn't a lie, but don't expect a health miracle; most of the nutrition remains in the grain, so the blood sugar impact is minor. The real benefit of this mode is texture control. By suspending the rice during the steam phase, it prevents the grains from sitting in starchy water. This forces cheaper long grain rice to separate and fluff up, giving it a premium consistency that's hard to get with a standard boil. However, a critical warning: Do not use the YumCarb mode if you are using premium Japanese rice (like Koshihikari) or sticky rice. You pay extra for that specific sticky texture, and this mode will strip it away, leaving you with expensive, dry pellets. Use this function for supermarket long grain only. Because fuzzy logic mimics Japanese cooking, the default result leans toward soft, sticky rice. In my photo, I used slightly less water to get a drier, firmer grain. It is easy to experiment to find your preferred texture since the cooker is quite consistent. It has the sleek look of a modern appliance, but the foundation is perfected, reliable, old school Japanese technology. An easy 5 stars for the value alone. Review: Works well, but needs time ! - Only used for brown rice so far. First attempt using exactly the required amount of water took about 35 minutes and produced rice that was a bit on the chewy size. Next time I added slightly more water ( just above the marked line) - this produced really nicely cooked rice, but took over an hour to do it ! I guess this is OK provided you can wait that long - just set the thing off sufficiently in advance. I really like that it’s easy to measure the amounts of rice and water. ( using supplied cup and markings on the inside of the bowl), and its then a single button push and leave the thing completely alone until it beeps. Keep warm function once it completes is useful. Would be nice to have more indication of how long it has to go (I suspect it doesn’t know). Feels solidly made, and is nice and compact for smaller kitchens. I guess the price is pretty top- end, but I feel you get what you pay for. Don’t think I’d want to wait 30-40 minutes for porridge, so will probably only ever use it for rice. Acid test it that I think we’ll be eating more rice now we have this beast. ## Features - PERFECT RICE AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON - White rice/long grain, short grain/sushi and brown rice settings with unique low carb (YumCarb) healthy cooking feature.

Yes, you can cook 1 cup of rice and there is a corresponding line on the ceramic coated inner bowl for the water level. There is an aluminium inner lid, but this has a special coating on it and it doesn't come into any contact with the food. Our Sakura rice cooker (8 cup capacity) has a stainless steel inner lid. **Q: Curious as to why this is cheaper than the other style? Does it work as well?** A: Hello! The reason for the difference in price is because Kumo is a completely different designs and mould used in our factory. The Kumo mould is less expensive for our factory to produce, so this is why the price is less. However, eventhough it is a lower price it still has our high quality design, attention to detail and unique cooking programmes on it and Kumo cooks rice to the same very high standards of our other rice cookers. **Q: Is it possible to steam Thai sticky rice with this with good results?** A: Hello! You can cook Thai sticky rice really well in Kumo. You would use the short grain setting and use the water levels we outline in the manual. **Q: Somebody put a photo of a lid for the ceramic bowl, is this included? If not where can i purchase one?** A: Hello! The lid on the photo is the customers own and not included with Kumo. We do not know where they purchased this lid from. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best value fuzzy logic cooker in the UK *by H***G on 20 November 2025* If money were no object, I'd import a Japanese Zojirushi or Tiger without question.

Acid test it that I think we’ll be eating more rice now we have this beast. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pays for itself *by S***N on 25 November 2024* I have never been able to consistently cook perfect rice, potentially 1 in 3 would be of an acceptable quality... until now. This is my first rice cooker and I read many, many reviews before my purchase. I don't have any comparison, but this is amazing. I was initially going to purchase the smaller size because I had limited storage space, but I was concerned about the volume of rice that I would be able to cook so opted for this mid size unit. In hind sight the smaller option would probably have covered my needs as I am yet to cook more than 3 cups of rice. However I am happy to have the option to cook more if required and this is so compact that it can still be stored easily. The rice comes out perfectly every time whatever type of rice I cook. I find the rice has a little more flavour when I don't use the carb reducing sieve type insert (but this is useful for washing the raw rice). The spillage that many reviews refer to when opening the lid can be avoided if you open it slowly. This was genuinely an amazing purchase that I regret not having made years ago. Prior to this, I would buy the microwave bags of rice for convenience and consistency. The rice i can now cook for myself is remarkable in comparison. A few moments preparation and a push of a button is all that is required, then just leave it to do it's work. The stay warm function means I don't even have to time the start, I can prepare way in advance of dinner and have the rice ready for me when I want it. I have used the keep warm for 4 or 5 hours without the rice burning. Allegedly it can work for up to 24hrs but I've not tried it. This is not a cheap option for a rice cooker but as I was probably using 6 to 10 pouches of the microwave stuff previously at a cost of about £1 a pouch, it will pay for itself very quickly. The only minor negative that I have discovered is that it does create quite a lot of steam. I get around this most of the time by placing it within the catchment zone of my extractor but anywhere that isn't directly beneath the upper cupboards in the kitchen works if the hob is in use. Sorry it's a long review but I am very, very happy about it and recommend it to literally anyone who will listen! ## Frequently Bought Together - Yum Asia Kumo YumCarb Rice Cooker with Ceramic Bowl and Advanced Fuzzy Logic, (5.5 cup, 1 litre), 5 Rice Cooking Functions, 3 Multicooker Functions, 220-240V UK/EU Power (Dark Stainless Steel) - Yum Asia 304 Stainless Steel Rice Washing Bowl (22cm) with Silicone Base and Handle - The Greedy Panda Cookbook: Essential Rice Cooker Recipes For Rice Cooker Enthusiasts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/182916957-kumo-yumcarb-rice-cooker-with-ceramic-bowl-and-advanced-fuzzy](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/182916957-kumo-yumcarb-rice-cooker-with-ceramic-bowl-and-advanced-fuzzy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
