Product Description

Panasonic SR-G28 2.8L Electric Rice Cooker – The Perfect Companion for Indian Kitchens

There's something deeply comforting about the aroma of perfectly cooked rice wafting through an Indian kitchen. Whether it's steaming basmati for a Sunday biryani, fluffy sona masoori for everyday sambar rice, or aromatic jeera rice to accompany your rajma, the Panasonic SR-G28 2.8L Automatic Electric Rice Cooker is designed to deliver consistent, restaurant-quality results with absolutely no effort.

Why Indian Families Love the Panasonic SR-G28

With a generous 2.8-litre capacity that cooks up to 1.5 kg of cooked rice, this rice cooker is thoughtfully sized for Indian households. A family of 5–8 members can easily have enough rice for lunch and dinner in a single cooking session. Hosting guests for Diwali, Eid, or a weekend get-together? The SR-G28 handles large batch cooking with ease, so you can focus on preparing your favourite curries, dals, and side dishes.

Automatic Cooking & Keep Warm – Set It and Forget It

The beauty of the Panasonic SR-G28 lies in its fully automatic operation. Simply add rice, measure the water using the included measuring cup, press the cook button on the Smart Cook PCB Switch Panel, and walk away. The cooker handles the rest — it cooks your rice evenly using a single heating coil that distributes 790 watts of power uniformly across the anodized aluminium pan, then automatically switches to keep warm mode once cooking is complete.

The keep warm function maintains your rice at an ideal serving temperature for up to 5 hours, which is incredibly handy for households where family members eat at different times. No more microwaving leftover rice or worrying about it drying out!

Built for Safety, Designed for Elegance

Safety is paramount in any kitchen appliance, and Panasonic takes it seriously. The SR-G28 features a double thermal fuse protection system that prevents overheating and ensures zero shock operation. The superior rust-proof painted body is built to withstand the humid conditions typical in Indian kitchens, while the stylish G Series switch panel adds a touch of modern elegance to your countertop.

The new sleek handle with stainless steel lid is designed for comfortable and safe handling, even when the cooker is hot. The lid fits snugly to trap steam effectively, ensuring your rice cooks evenly and retains all its natural flavour and nutrition.

Anodized Aluminium Pan – Durable and Easy to Clean

The anodized aluminium cooking pan is the heart of this rice cooker. The anodization process creates a hard, non-reactive surface that resists scratches and makes cleaning a breeze. Unlike non-stick coatings that can wear off over time, anodized aluminium maintains its integrity through years of daily use. It also distributes heat more evenly than standard aluminium, which means fewer chances of rice sticking to the bottom.

Choose Your Variant: 1 Pot or 2 Pot

The Panasonic SR-G28 is available in two convenient variants to suit your cooking needs:

• SR-G28 (1 Pot / Single Pan): Comes with one anodized aluminium cooking pan and one stainless steel lid. Perfect for households that primarily cook rice.
• SR-G28 2PL (2 Pot / Double Pan): Comes with two anodized aluminium cooking pans and two lids. The second pan is a game-changer — use one for rice while the other is being cleaned, or use the spare pan for steaming idlis, vegetables, or even boiling dal simultaneously.

More Than Just a Rice Cooker

While the SR-G28 excels at cooking rice, many Indian home cooks have discovered its versatility. You can use it to:

• Steam vegetables and idlis using the cooking plate
• Boil dal and lentils for everyday meals
• Prepare porridge and khichdi for babies and the elderly
• Cook upma, pongal, and other breakfast dishes with the right water-to-grain ratio
• Make pulao and flavoured rice for quick weeknight dinners
