Product Description

Panasonic SR-942D 10 Litre Automatic Rice Cooker — Built for Large Families, Restaurants & Catering Kitchens

When you're cooking for a crowd — whether it's a joint family of fifteen, a bustling restaurant kitchen, or a catering setup for a weekend function — you need a rice cooker that delivers consistent, perfectly cooked rice in large quantities, every single time. The Panasonic SR-942D 10 Litre Automatic Rice Cooker is engineered to do exactly that.

With a total capacity of 10 litres and the ability to cook up to 2.5 kg of raw rice in a single batch, this cooker is one of the most popular commercial-grade rice cookers in India. Panasonic — the brand that pioneered automatic rice cookers in India — has been manufacturing these cookers at their facility near Chennai since 1991, and the SR-942D is a testament to decades of engineering refinement.

Why Indian Kitchens Love the SR-942D

Indian rice preparations demand precision. Whether you're making fluffy basmati for biryani, soft sona masoori for everyday dal-chawal, or sticky rice for festive payasam, the quality of the rice cooker directly impacts the final result. The SR-942D's double heating coil distributes heat uniformly across the entire anodized aluminium cooking pan, ensuring that every grain is cooked to perfection — no crunchy centres, no mushy bottoms.

The easy push-button operation makes this cooker incredibly simple to use. Add rice, add water, press the button — and the cooker takes care of the rest. Once cooking is complete, it automatically switches to Keep Warm mode, maintaining the rice at an ideal serving temperature for up to 5 hours. This is particularly useful in restaurants and catering setups where rice needs to stay warm across multiple service hours, and in households where family members eat in shifts.

Built for Safety, Built to Last

Safety is paramount in any kitchen, and the SR-942D addresses this with a double thermal fuse system that prevents the cooker from overheating — a critical feature when the cooker is running at full capacity or left on Keep Warm for extended periods. The anodized aluminium cooking pan is not only an excellent conductor of heat but is also scratch-resistant and easy to clean after daily use. The stainless steel lid is durable, hygienic, and designed to seal in steam for efficient cooking.

The cooker's body is constructed from metal in a clean white finish, designed to withstand the rigours of daily commercial and household use. At 1370 watts, it has enough power to cook a full 2.5 kg batch quickly and efficiently on a standard 220–240V Indian power supply.

Perfect for Restaurants, Hostels, Tiffin Services & Large Families

The SR-942D isn't just a household appliance — it's a workhorse for small restaurants, dhabas, mess kitchens, hostel canteens, tiffin services, and any setup that needs to serve large quantities of rice daily. Customers have reported that this cooker can comfortably serve 15–16 people per batch, and many commercial users rely on it for multiple batches throughout the day.

For large Indian joint families preparing rice for daily meals, this cooker eliminates the need for multiple pressure cooker rounds on the stove. Simply load the rice, press the button, and attend to the rest of your cooking — the biryani masala, the dal, the sabzi — while the SR-942D handles the rice automatically.

What's Included in the Box

The package includes everything you need to get started: the automatic rice cooker, an anodized aluminium cooking pan, a stainless steel lid, a rice spatula (scoop), a measuring cup, and the user manual with warranty card. All accessories are designed to complement the cooker's 10-litre capacity.
