HENDI 10 L Rice Cooker for Professional Kitchens 240458

A rice cooker designed for bulk preparation in professional kitchens, this HENDI unit heats water to steam rice evenly without scorching. The sealed pot traps steam, raising the internal pressure slightly so the rice absorbs water at a steady rate. Once the water is fully absorbed, the temperature rises, triggering the switch to keep-warm mode to prevent overcooking while holding the rice at serving temperature.

To operate, measure dry rice with the supplied cup and rinse if required. Add water to the inner container—one part rice to one and a half parts water by volume—then place the container inside the cooker. Close the lid, plug into a 230 V supply, and select the cooking mode. The unit automatically switches to keep-warm once the rice is ready, allowing staff to attend to other tasks without timing or stirring.

The aluminium body conducts heat efficiently, while the non-stick coating on the inner container prevents rice from sticking and speeds cleaning. Handles and legs are moulded from heat-resistant polypropylene, allowing safe handling even when the unit is hot. The pot handles are shaped to support the lid when removed, keeping the worktop clear and reducing the risk of burns.

The 10 litre volume yields approximately 50 standard portions of cooked rice, making it suitable for medium to large service volumes. The 2.9 kW power rating requires a dedicated circuit capable of handling the load without tripping. The compact footprint of 528 mm by 487 mm fits on most worktops, while the 10.64 kg weight allows repositioning by one person when necessary.

Cleaning involves removing the inner container, wiping the non-stick surface with a soft cloth or sponge, and washing the aluminium exterior with mild detergent. The heat-resistant handles and legs can be wiped down without risk of warping or melting. A rice serving cup and teaspoon are included for portioning and measuring.

This model is placed in the HENDI professional rice preparation range, offering consistent results for catering operations without manual monitoring.
