Meal prepping & healthy cooking — pressure cooking locks in nutrients and flavours, and the small size means minimal leftovers or waste.

Busy weekday meals — one‑touch operation means less fuss, faster results.
Pro Tips for Best Results
-
Before first use, run a “clean” cycle: add water up to the inner pot’s maximum line, run a cook cycle, then discard water. This helps remove any manufacturing residue.
-
Use the correct rice‑to‑water ratio for your rice type — smaller cookers can require slight adjustments.
-
Don’t overfill: since it’s designed for 3 cups of uncooked rice, avoid trying more than this as pressure may not regulate properly.
-
After use, remove the inner pot and handwash it to preserve the non‑stick coating (or follow manufacturer’s clean instructions).
-
Make use of the included steaming tray — you can steam veggies or dumplings while rice cooks underneath, for a full one‑pot meal.
If you’re looking for a reliable cooker that doesn’t take up half your kitchen, the Hoper Layer Mini Electric Pressure Cooker HL‑MP160 is a strong contender. It combines compact convenience, smart safety, and solid performance — making everyday cooking easier, especially for smaller households.
