Panasonic Automatic Rice Cooker & Steamer 1.8 Litre – SR-WA18H (660W, with 2 Steaming Baskets)
The Panasonic SR-WA18H Automatic Rice Cooker & Steamer is a versatile, compact kitchen appliance that goes well beyond simply cooking rice. With a 1.8 litre capacity (cooks up to 1 kg raw rice) and a rated power of 660 watts, this cooker is designed for families of 3 to 5 people and handles everyday Indian cooking with ease. The inner cooking vessel is made from anodized aluminium — a material harder than standard steel, non-reactive with food, and significantly more durable than regular aluminium — ensuring rice cooks evenly without sticking to the base. What makes the SR-WA18H particularly popular in Indian kitchens is what comes in the box: 2 stackable polycarbonate steaming baskets that allow you to steam momos, idlis, vegetables, fish, and eggs simultaneously while the rice cooks below. The stainless steel lid is robust and easy to clean. GDSons customers have praised the build quality and value: Riya Sharma notes it is a "game changer" for daily cooking, Vikram Nair highlights how "convenient" the dual-function steaming is, and Anjali Pillai praises how quickly and easily it cooks rice every day.
The SR-WA18H runs on Panasonic's Keep Warm Series technology — once cooking is complete, the cooker automatically switches off and then maintains food temperature for up to 5 hours, so freshly cooked rice or steamed dishes are always ready and warm whenever the family sits down to eat. The auto switch-off function makes it a genuinely hands-free appliance — set it, walk away, and return to perfectly cooked food. The outer body is made from premium food-grade CRCA material. This cooker is ROHS compliant, reflecting Panasonic's commitment to environmental and health safety standards. Panasonic backs the SR-WA18H with a 5-year warranty on the heating plate and a comprehensive 2-year product warranty — among the most generous warranty packages in the Indian rice cooker category. Box contents include: 1 electric cooker, 1 cooking pan, 2 steaming baskets, 1 lid, 1 spatula, and a user manual with warranty card.
Key Features
Dual-Function Cooking: Rice + Steaming Simultaneously
The SR-WA18H is not just a rice cooker — with 2 polycarbonate steaming baskets stacked above the cooking chamber, you can steam momos, vegetables, idlis, fish, and eggs at the same time as the rice cooks below. This significantly reduces total cooking time and keeps all dishes ready together.
Keep Warm for Up to 5 Hours — Auto Switch-Off
Once cooking is complete, the cooker automatically switches off and shifts to Keep Warm mode, maintaining food temperature for up to 5 hours without overcooking. This is particularly valuable for working professionals who set the cooker before leaving home and eat on returning.
Anodized Aluminium Inner Pan — Durable & Non-Reactive
The anodized aluminium cooking vessel is harder than steel, resistant to corrosion, and non-reactive with food — ensuring rice, dal, and steamed dishes retain their true flavour and nutrition without any metallic interference from the pan surface.
Generous 1.8L Capacity — Cooks Up to 1 kg Raw Rice
With 1.8 litres cooked capacity, the SR-WA18H is sized for Indian families of 3 to 5 people. It handles everything from everyday basmati rice and pulao to biryani and steamed desserts — with consistent, perfectly fluffy results every time.
5-Year Heating Plate Warranty + 2-Year Product Warranty
Panasonic provides one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in its class: a 5-year warranty on the heating plate and a 2-year full product warranty. This significantly reduces risk for the buyer and reflects the durability Panasonic builds into this product.
