Tsuki Mini Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia 

 

3.3  HOW TO USE THE RICE COOKER FUNCTIONS 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Tsuki is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain 
nutrients. These phases are Preheat, Absorb water, Heating, Boiling, Braising, Absorb water and then finally Keep 
Warm (in this order). This phased cooking and adjustments in temperature are controlled using Tsuki’s fuzzy logic 
processor and are programmed to mimic the traditional ‘kamado’ style of rice cooking. 
 

OPTIONS FOR COOKING RICE: 

1.

 

‘Long Grain’

 setting is for cooking long grain white rice (for example, basmati, jasmine or Thai fragrant 

rice) 

2.

 

‘Short Grain’

 setting is for any type of white short grain rice like pearl or sushi rice and Thai sticky rice (see 

table on next page for water level guide for sticky rice).

 

 

3.

 

‘Brown’

 setting is for cooking long or short grain brown rice

 

 

4.

 

‘Yumami’ 

setting is for any type of white rice. This is a specific cooking cycle with different temperatures, 

it releases sugars contained in the rice and this phased rice cooking is said to make the rice tasted 
sweeter and 'moreish', hence the name 'Yumami'. (see section 3.8, page 11). Best used for 2 or 2.5 cups, 
some crusting may occur when cooking 1 cup. 

5.

 

‘Claypot’

 setting is for cooking any type of white rice in a traditional ‘claypot style’ with meat, vegetables 

and a slight crust on the bottom

Note

 – these times are approximate and can vary depending on how much rice is being cooked and how the rice 

absorbs water 
 
There are markings on the inside of the inner bowl to indicate the water levels for white long grain rice, white 
short grain rice, brown rice and (rice) porridge.  

 

Cooking STICKY or GLUTINOUS rice 

Sticky or glutinous rice is different to normal short grain rice, it needs more water. If you are cooking 
sticky/glutinous rice you need to follow the water guidance below and use the short grain setting. Depending on 
the sticky/glutinous rice type, it may not need extra water, in this case use the water levels for short grain rice.

press ‘Start’, a chasing lines pattern comes on the display to indicate Tsuki is cooking, then a 

beep sounds

 and a 

countdown

 will appear in the 

last 10 minutes
