The ideal cooking condition is to fill the inner pot to about 70-80 percent capacity for optimal heat distribution. However, with the Teito Chef Chibikko, the carefully designed compact pot ensures that the rice cooks evenly, resulting in fluffy and delicious rice that isn’t hard or dry.

Whether you’re living alone or enjoying a road trip, this small-sized multi-cooker proves to be an excellent companion, allowing you to enjoy perfectly cooked rice anytime.
