Xiaomi is better known as a smartphone brand but we have seen the company expand its product portfolio to a range of home appliances and
**even shoes** , over the past couple of years. Manu Kumar Jain, the company’s Global Vice President has now begun
teasing the launch of the Xiaomi Mijia Rice Cooker and the Mijia Electric on his official
Twitter handle. The teaser says that users can make healthier burgers, pasta, and pizzas with the new products. The teaser does not reveal much about the products but clearly suggests that they will arrive soon. [caption id=“attachment_6365451” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”] Xiaomi Mijia Electric Cooker.

Hence, this can be safely referred to as a smart rice cooker.
Mi fans! At #Xiaomi, we've always strived to get you products that make you lead a better life.

You may use the #MiBand3 to track your fitness, #MiAirPurifier to breathe cleaner air, but eventually end up eating unhealthy food. Soon we'll change that.

The Mijia Electric Cooker, on the other hand, is essentially a smart induction cooktop which features a knob and an OLED screen to allow for smart controls. There’s also a Lite variant available in China which doesn’t sport an OLED display and functions more like a regular induction cooktop.

If a Lite variant of the induction cooktop is brought to India as well, we’re looking at a price tag of around Rs 2,000.
