Check the ceramic inner bowl carefully for cracks
The inner bowl is made from ceramic clay material. Any crack in the surface may cause Tsuki to
malfunction or break. In contrast to other rice cooker inner bowls, Tsuki’s inner bowl is made from a
natural material and made by hand, the coating layer of the bowl may look uneven.
Wash the bowl very carefully
Take care not to bang the bowl when washing. Do not use any abrasive chemicals/washing liquids
or brushes/scrubbing pads on the bowl
Cooking in a natural ceramic inner bowl
Due to the heat retention properties of the inner bowl, occasionally you may find a very slight crust
on the very bottom of the cooked rice. This is nothing to worry about and once you mix it with the rest
of the rice, it will disappear.
Thank you once again and Happy Cooking!

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
Approximate cooking times for different types of rice
Rice
Selected
‘Long grain’ ‘Short
Grain’
‘Brown’ ‘YUMAMI’ ‘Claypot’
Time taken 29-39 mins 28-36 mins 49-50 mins 60-70 mins 75 mins
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.
Water levels for ‘THAI STICKY/GLUTINOUS’ rice
Cups of rice 1 2

When a cooking cycle is first selected, an estimated cooking time will display. When you
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.
NOTE - the maximum capacity of this appliance (Do Not Exceed!)
2.5 cups (180ml cup) for WHITE rice
1.5 cups (180ml cup) BROWN rice

Tsuki Mini Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.3.1 COOKING RICE IN TSUKI
1. Measure the rice with the measuring cup provided. Make sure the rice is level to the top of the cup – this
is a full cup (180ml) measurement.
2. Clean the rice (if needed) as directed in ‘4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE’. Place the inner bowl into the
appliance, put the rice into the inner bowl and fill to the water line that corresponds to the amount/type
of rice you are cooking.
3. Close the lid and select the rice setting you want to cook with.
4. Press ‘Start’ and the cooking cycle will begin. A chasing lines pattern comes on the display to indicate
Tsuki is cooking, a beep sounds and a countdown will appear in the last 10 minutes.
3.4 HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM FUNCTION
Once a cooking cycle has finished, you will hear a series of beeps and Tsuki will automatically switch to ‘Keep
Warm’. You can activate ‘Keep Warm’ when Tsuki is on stand-by (i.e. when no menu functions have been
selected and 4 horizontal lines are on the display) by pressing the ‘Keep Warm’ button. The button will then light
up and a count-up clock will appear on the display for your reference.
The ‘Keep Warm’ function can be used for 24 hours but you may find that the rice is dry after 15 hours (as rice has
to be kept at a safe temperature to eat). You can extend this by periodically adding a little water to the rice and
stirring through.
To Cancel ‘Keep Warm’, press the ‘Cancel’ button. Tsuki will then switch to stand-by mode. If you unplug Tsuki
while in Keep Warm, the next time you plug it in, Keep Warm will activate, you need to Cancel this before you
can cook on another setting.
3.5 HOW TO USE THE OTHER COOKING FUNCTIONS
3.5.1 PORRIDGE
This menu setting can be used for Asian rice porridge or oatmeal porridge. For recipes, see page 15.
The default cooking time for the ‘Porridge’ setting is 1 hour. You can adjust this up to 1.5 hours. When the Porridge
setting has been selected using the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button, press and hold the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button to adjust the
length of cooking time. You can press to move in 5 minutes increments or long hold to move through the 5 minutes
increments faster.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, Tsuki will make a series of beeps and will automatically switch to ‘Keep
Warm’.
Also see the ‘Speedy Start Guide’ on the back of the warranty card for a step-by-step
guide on how to cook rice and ‘Tips to Cooking Great Tasting Rice’ on page 12 for more detailed
cooking information and advice.
If you want to cook ½ cup of rice, there isn’t a mark on the inner bowl for this. Use the
measuring cup to add the water – ½ a measuring cup of water for white rice and 1 cup of water
for brown rice.

Tsuki Mini Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.5.2 CLAYPOT
Due to the unique properties of Tsuki’s handmade (clay) natural ceramic bowl, traditional style ‘claypot rice’ can
be cooked in Tsuki. This is a traditional dish that has many versions spanning from Dominican Republic to Spain to
Korea. Usually cooked with a stock rather than water, along with mushrooms, Chinese sausage or other meat
and green, leafy vegetables, the Claypot setting produces a one pot meal with a delicious to-be-fought-over
crispy bottom.
See Section 5, page 13 for a guide to Claypot rice
3.5.3 SLOW COOK
For cooking stews and other dishes like curries, dhal, or other pulses/grains select the ‘Slow Cook’ setting. The
default cooking time for the ‘Slow Cook’ setting is 2 hours and can be adjusted up to 6 hours. When the ‘Slow
Cook’ setting has been selected using the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button, press and hold the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button to
adjust the length of cooking time. You can press to move in 30 minutes increments or long hold to move through
the 30 minutes increments faster.
When the ‘Slow Cook’ cycle Starts, Tsuki heats the contents of the inner bowl to a high temperature (97˚C), it then
switches to a lower temperature (87˚C) for the slow cooking. This is the same as the ‘auto’ setting on a
conventional slow cooker.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, Tsuki will make a series of beeps and will automatically switch to ‘Keep
Warm’.
3.6 CANCELLING PROGRAMMES
To cancel a programme you have selected, cancel Keep Warm or, if you want to stop a programme part way
through the cooking cycle, you just need to press the ‘Cancel’ button. Tsuki will then switch to standby mode.
3.7 HOW TO USE THE DELAYED START (PRESET) FUNCTION
The ‘Preset’ function is a useful timer/delayed Start feature; this allows you to set the appliance to have your rice
or food ready at a specific time. The ‘Preset’ function is available for all menu settings.
To set the timer:
1. Press the ‘Menu/Cancel’ button to select a cooking programme (for non-rice cooking programmes you
can programme the length of cooking time at this point).
2. Then press the ‘Preset’ button, which will then light up and ‘Preset’ appears on the display. By long
holding the ‘Preset’ button you can change the length of time for the preset/timer for when you want the
rice/dish should be ready. You can press to move in 15 minutes increments or long hold to move through
the 15 minutes increments faster.
3. Press the ‘Start’ button, the cooker will display the hours/minutes in advance you selected, it will then
start to count down and the cooking cycle will complete at the time you specified.
Tsuki is a very efficient, sealed unit rice cooker, the slow cook setting will cook food
faster as there is no heat loss. A normal slow cooker recipe with a cook time of 7-8 hours will
take 3-4 hours to cook in Tsuki. This is to give a more efficient slow cook.

11
Tsuki Mini Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
If the Preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will Start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with
additional assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.
Suggested timings for the ‘Preset’ function
Function Rice Porridge Yumami Claypot Slow Cook
Preset timings 1.5 hrs to 24 hrs 2.5 hrs to 24 hrs 2.5 hrs to 24 hrs 2.5 hrs to 24 hrs 3 hrs to 24 hrs
Note – be aware that perishable foods should not be left for long periods of time when you have set the ‘Preset’
function as they may spoil.
3.8 YUMAMI FUNCTION EXPLAINED
Yumami or ‘extra tasty’ rice function on Tsuki enhances the flavour of any type of white rice by using a specially
designed cooking cycle. It does this by using a sequence of soaking and steaming to release the sugars
contained in the rice. These sugars are then reabsorbed back into the rice as a different chemical structure and
can attach to the surface of the rice. This change in sugar chemistry can then activate Umami receptors of the
tongue. The result is more flavourful rice with improved texture and taste.
Usually the rice produced is fluffier, softer and sweeter (depending on the type of white grain used). The full
cooking time, including the special soaking and steaming, for the Yumami function on Tsuki is between 1 hour and
1 hour, 10 minutes.
NOTE – due to the unique properties of Tsuki’s natural, handmade ceramic inner bowl, cooking only 1 cup of rice
may result in some slight crusting. The Yumami function therefore works better with 2 or 2.5 cups of rice.
The Start time of the Preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Tsuki has to
assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can ‘assess’ the
contents.

4. TIPS TO COOKING GREAT TASTING RICE
4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE
Measure the rice accurately! Only use the 180ml measuring cup provided as other cup sizes may be different
measurements. Make sure you level the rice off at the top of the cup.
Rinse the rice! Do not wash the rice in the inner bowl – sometimes rice can contain small stones that causes
scratches to the ceramic coating. Use a separate bowl or sieve. Place the rice into a sieve or a bowl and pour
fresh, cold water on top. Stir the rice loosely by hand and drain the water. Do this 2-3 times until the water you are
rinsing with runs clear.
Be accurate with the water! The amount of water in the inner bowl prior
to cooking greatly affects the texture of the cooked rice. The more
water you use, the softer the rice will be when cooked. We recommend
after washing the rice, you place it in the inner bowl, then top up with
water to the corresponding line on the inner bowl – fill to the underside
of the line, this will give you perfect rice. If you prefer it softer, fill to the
top of the line; if you prefer it harder, fill to 2-3mm below the line.
Stir and loosen! once the appliance has switched to ‘Keep Warm’, if
possible, stir and loosen the rice straight away with the provided
spatula. This helps release excessive moisture and results in nice, perfect
fluffy rice.
4.2 OUR TIPS FOR RICE COOKING AND GETTING PERFECT RESULTS
Try and choose bags of rice with as few broken grains as possible, as broken grains make rice very
soggy and sticky.
It is important to remember that every batch of rice is different - even the rice you regularly buy can
sometimes change for the worse quality - each batch of rice absorbs water differently depending on
how well it's been processed. The end result can also depend on the age of the rice you use. Newer
rice needs less water than older rice but, of course, there is no way of knowing whether the rice you
have bought is an older or newer picked grain.
If the rice you cook is too sticky, it's worthwhile trying a batch without rinsing, as some varieties of rice
don’t need rinsing as they have been processed differently. Unlike pasta, rice isn't consistent because
it’s a natural product and the first batch cooked from a new purchase of rice can be hit and miss – the
rice cooker does mitigate this to an extent, but adjusting the amount of water is a sure way of getting
the rice you like.
If the rice you cook is too soft, next time reduce the water you add for cooking by 3-4mm, softer rice
means that there was too much water in the inner bowl during cooking. If the rice you cook is too hard,
next time add 3-4mm more water, harder rice means that there was too little water in the inner bowl
during cooking.
Do not use any kind of quick cook, partially cooked, parboiled rice – look at rice packets carefully to
make sure the rice you are buying is suitable. This type of rice is not suited for use in a sealed unit, fuzzy
logic rice cooker.

6. RECIPES
Here are a couple of recipes to start you off with your new rice cooker.
For lots more recipes like flavoured rice (Mexican and coconut rice), risotto, stews, soups and more, please see
our foodie blog at www.greedypanda.co.uk
RICE PORRIDGE (CONGEE)
Ingredients (4-5 servings)
1 cup of rice
75g chicken thighs, chopped and parboiled
Pinch of salt
Ginger and spring onion (scallion), shredded – to taste
Directions
1. Wash rice and place into inner bowl, add water (follow levels on the inner bowl) then place the
chicken on top
2. Press the ‘Menu’ button and select ‘Porridge’ and press and hold the ‘Start’ button
3. When the rice cooker turns to ‘Keep Warm,’ add salt if you want it and garnish with ginger and spring
onions
OATMEAL PORRIDGE
Ingredients (serves 1 – do not exceed quantities)
½ cup steel cut or high quality large rolled oats (we advise you put these in a sieve and shake hard 3-4 times to
dislodge any sediment)
1.5 cups water (measured in the provided measuring cup)
1 cup of milk (or 1 cup of coconut milk or other non-dairy milk – whatever you prefer)
3-4 spoons (or more to your own taste) honey or brown sugar
* You may need to experiment with the amounts of oats and water, depending on whether you like thick or
thin oat porridge!
Directions
1. Place oats and water in the inner cooking pan.
2. Place the inner cooking pan in the main body of the rice cooker, plug in the unit, select the ‘Porridge’
setting and adjust the timing to what you prefer (longer cooking time = thicker porridge; less cooking
time = thinner porridge) press the ‘Start’ button.
3. When the rice cooker turns to Keep Warm open the lid, stir and add the remaining ingredients. Using
the Timer function and soaking the oats overnight will soften the texture of the oats.
4. Add any dried or fresh fruit to the porridge instead of sugar – delicious and healthy on a cold winter’s
day!!
Do not use milk to cook the oats, this will result in a ‘boil over’ of the contents as milk reacts
differently when heated. Only use water to cook the oats.

ground cinnamon), lemon zest (a large thin slice of zest, not grated) and nutmeg together.
4. When rice is cooked and the rice cooker has switched to Keep Warm, add the whisked milks into the
rice, close the lid. Check about 30 minutes later and see if it is at the consistency you like.
5. Discard the cinnamon stick (if using) and the lemon zest.
6. Place into individual dishes and garnish with ground cinnamon and cream if desired.
** Vegan adaptation - this can also be made without the evaporated milk and condensed milk as a
non-dairy alternative.
Use one whole tin of coconut milk and some non-dairy milk to loosen it after stage 5 if necessary.

7. COOKING WITH OTHER GRAINS/PULSES IN TSUKI
It’s possible to cook other grains and pulses in Tsuki, here is a rough guide for cooking times/settings
QUINOA
If it’s not pre-washed, make sure you rinse it well in a sieve with cold water. Use a 1:1 ratio of quinoa to water
(up the water to 1:1.25 if you are using black quinoa) and use the quick cook setting. Once it’s finished cooking,
fluff up a little and leave on Keep Warm for 5-10 minutes.
COUS COUS and GIANT COUS COUS
Use the water levels indicated on the packet and use the quick cook setting as cous cous doesn’t require that
much cooking anyway.
MILLET
For each portion you want to cook, measure ¼ cup of millet into the inner bowl and add 1 cup water for each
portion (so if you use ¾ cup millet add 3 cups water; for ½ cup millet add 2 cups water and so on).
Shake a small dash of salt into the water, then close the lid. Plug in the rice cooker and select the ‘Porridge’
cycle. You can either cook straight away adjusting the timing for how you prefer your millet (longer cooking
will have a thicker consistency; less cooking will have a thinner consistency) or you can use the Preset timer for
when you will want to eat in the morning. Once cooked you can add whatever flavouring you prefer
LENTILS and BEANS
The slow cook setting is ideal for cooking lentils or beans – rinse beforehand and follow the water levels
indicated on the pack. The porridge setting also works for cooking lentils and beans, if you want to cook at a
lower temperature.
PEARL BARLEY
The slow cook setting is ideal for cooking pearl barley - rinse before cooking and follow the water levels
indicated on the pack. Using pearl barley in a batch of soup will cook within an hour but won’t overcook if left
for longer.
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always remove any remaining pieces of food and clean immediately after use.
Do not use any kind of metal brush, scrubber or harsh chemicals/solvents to clean the dirty parts of the
appliance.
Do not immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp sponge or soft cloth to clean the outer case.
Do not wash rice in the inner bowl, this can cause scratches and the inner bowl coating to deteriorate.
IMPORTANT - Never put the inner bowl or inner lid into a dishwasher. The chemicals and washing cycle of a
dishwasher are too harsh.
Any damage caused by a dishwasher will not be covered by our warranty.

INNER LID CARE
IMPORTANT INNER BOWL CARE
Only ever use the plastic accessories provided, you can also use wooden or
silicone accessories. Never use metal to stir as this will damage the ceramic
coating on the inner bowl.
Cleaning the inner bowl is easy, but if anything remains stuck to the inner
bowl, pre-soak with a little washing up liquid before washing.
Do not pour vinegar into the inner bowl as this will damage the ceramic
coating.
The outside (underneath) of the inner bowl will discolour and scuff due to the
heat being applied to the bowl from the heating element, this is normal.
The ceramic coating on the inner bowl may change colour over time. This is completely normal and nothing to
worry about.
In contrast to other rice cooker inner bowls, Tsuki’s inner bowl is made from a natural material and made by
hand, the coating layer of the bowl may look uneven.
Do not immerse the inner bowl into water this will affect how the inner bowl conducts the heat

down, pull in a straight line otherwise the
small handle could break.
Wash the steam vent, dry it and put back
in place.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
COOKING
RICE
Rice cooks too hard or
too soft
 Make sure the appliance is on a flat surface, if it is on an
uneven surface, the water level becomes inconsistent and
it will affect the cooking of the rice.
 The texture of rice varies depending on how it’s been
processed
 Using the ‘Preset’ function can result in a softer rice texture
if the rice has soaked in the water for a length of time.
 Make sure the inner bowl isn’t cracked
 Did you loosen the rice after cooking? If not, do this to allow
excess water to evaporate
Rice is scorched/burnt  Make sure nothing is stuck to the inside of the rice cooker or
the bottom of the inner bowl
 Rice may not have been washed enough, leaving too much
starch on the rice

Make sure the inner bowl isn’t cracked
