Panasonic has unveiled an expanded range of small kitchen appliances that blend Japanese innovation and culinary heritage.
The new line-up, including an advanced air fryer, multifunctional cookers, and smart blender, reflects the company’s long-standing ethos of precision and reliability, now applied to the growing appetite for Asian-inspired home cooking.
Each appliance has been developed with Panasonic’s characteristic attention to detail, aiming to make healthy cooking more accessible without compromising on flavour or convenience.
At the heart of this new kitchen range is a celebration of Japanese design philosophy…
Largest Air Fryer to date
Leading the new releases is the Panasonic NF-BC1000 Flex Air Fryer, the company’s largest and most versatile model to date. With a 9.6-litre capacity, the fryer is big enough to cook a 30cm pizza or cater for family-sized meals.
Its split basket allows two dishes to be prepared simultaneously, while Gentle Steam technology keeps food moist inside and crisp outside with minimal oil.
The fryer also features a viewing window with built-in light, so you can monitor progress without interrupting the cooking cycle, and a non-stick interior with removable parts for easy cleaning. Selling for £189, it’s designed to compete with large dual-zone models, but Panasonic’s use of steam gives it a distinctive edge for healthier results.
Social cooking reinvented
For shared cooking and dining, Panasonic has the NF-GM600 and NF-GM400 table-top multi-cookers. Suitable for sociable, multi-course meals, these gizmos bring Japanese-style table cooking into every home.
The flagship NF-GM600 is a 6-in-1 model offering grill, steam, BBQ, teppanyaki, takoyaki, and pancake cooking modes, supported by six interchangeable non-stick plates. The slightly smaller NF-GM400 offers four modes – grill, steam, pancakes, and deep pot – for a more compact setup.
Panasonic’s new MX-HG4401 Hot & Cold Blender and Soup Maker is designed for those seeking versatility in a single appliance. With an 800W heating element and 6-fin stainless steel blades, it can prepare everything from smoothies and nut drinks to hot soups and sauces.
Dual functionality means it can blend and cook in the same jug. Priced at £169, it’s a compact solution for anyone looking to elevate their weekday meals or streamline meal prep.
Finally, Panasonic’s heritage in rice cooking technology arrives in the UK with the SR-DA152WXE (white) and SR-DA152KXE (black) models. These compact 1.5-litre cookers can prepare up to eight cups of rice, while built-in Fuzzy Logic wizardry automatically adjusts cooking time and temperature for consistently perfect results.
They also include a Keep Warm function that maintains optimal serving temperature for up to 12–24 hours, depending on the model. Expected to sell for £89, these rice cookers offer an accessible, indispensable, entry into the art of everyday Japanese cooking.
