Toshiba Vacuum Pressure IH Rice Cooker | RC-DX Series (1.0L / 1.8L)
The Toshiba RC-DX is a vacuum and pressure IH rice cooker made in Japan, offered in two sizes: the RC-DX10T (1.0L, up to 5.5 cups) and the RC-DX18T (1.8L, up to 10 cups). Before heating starts, a vacuum pump draws the air out of the inner pot so that water soaks into the core of each grain; the cooker then applies automatically adjusted pressure of 0.5–1.2 atmospheres. The 7mm 'diamond binchotan' inner pot is paired with 3D induction heating and up to 40 hours of vacuum keep warm. The control panel is labelled in English and Simplified Chinese.
Product Features:
- Two Sizes: RC-DX10T 1.0L (up to 5.5 cups; Toshiba suggests 1–6 people) and RC-DX18T 1.8L (up to 10 cups), measured with the cup supplied.
- Vacuum Soaking: A vacuum pump removes the air from the inner pot so that water replaces it and soaks into the core of the grain.
- Automatic Pressure Cooking: Pressure range of 0.5–1.2 atmospheres, with the pressure release timed automatically for each mode. According to Toshiba, brown rice and mixed grains need no pre-soaking.
- 7mm 'Diamond Binchotan' Inner Pot: From the inside out: diamond titanium coating, a thick heat-conducting aluminium layer, an iron and stainless steel heating layer, and a binchotan far-infrared coating. A wave-patterned base boosts convection.
- 4 Rice Types, 7 Cooking Modes, 3 Special Functions: White, pre-washed, brown and mixed-grain rice; Regular, Delicious, Hard, Sticky, Quick & Delicious, Mixed and Congee; plus Steam, Cake and Soup.
- Vacuum Keep Warm: The pot is re-evacuated while keeping rice warm, for up to 40 hours (standard keep warm up to 12 hours).
- Timer and Reheat: Two memory timers (TIMER 1/2), set in hours and minutes up to 14 hours ahead, plus a reheat function.

Cleaning and Maintenance:
- Unplug the cooker and let it cool before cleaning to avoid burns. Never rinse the main body under the tap, and keep the power plug and cord away from water.
- After each use, wash the inner pot, inner lid, steam vent and rice scoop with a sponge and mild kitchen washing-up liquid, rinse, wipe dry with a clean cloth and leave to dry thoroughly. Wash the measuring cup and scoop holder when they get dirty.
- Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer, and avoid any cleaner other than mild washing-up liquid — no thinners, alcohol, scouring powder, bleach, scrubbing brushes or melamine sponges.
- To protect the non-stick coating, do not use the inner pot as a washing-up bowl, do not put vinegar in it, do not use metal ladles or whisks, and do not scrape it hard with the rice scoop.
- Never heat the inner pot on a gas hob or induction hob, or in a microwave.
- Do not keep rice warm after cooking it with seasonings (for example mixed rice); wash the inner pot and inner lid promptly to prevent rust and odours.
- As this is a vacuum and pressure model, any rice grains or debris on the inner lid, its gasket, the rim of the inner pot, the vacuum inlet and outlet or the lid catch will stop the cooker forming a vacuum, and could let the lid open or steam escape during cooking. Check and clear these after each use; the small holes in the inner lid can be cleared with a bamboo skewer or toothpick.
- The inner lid gasket and body gasket cannot be removed, so please do not pull on them; wipe away any dirt or rice grains carefully.
- Wipe the outside, the inside of the outer lid and the heating plate with a well-wrung damp cloth. If a temperature sensor gets dirty, rub it lightly with fine sandpaper (about No. 600) and wipe with a well-wrung cloth. Clear dust from the air inlet and outlet on the base about once a month.
- If odours build up, run the 'cleaning by boiling' cycle described in the manual (about once a week): fill the inner pot with water only, up to level 1 on the 'White rice' scale, start a white rice cycle, press OFF once it switches to Keep Warm, then clean and dry the parts when cool. Never add detergent or anything else, and do not repeat the cycle back to back.
Storage Method:
- Make sure the inner pot, inner lid and steam vent are completely dry and correctly refitted before putting the cooker away.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and cooking-oil splashes, which can discolour or warp the body.
- Unplug the cooker when not in use, and keep the measuring cup, rice scoop and other accessories together with it.

Before heating starts, the pump draws the air out of the sealed inner pot, so water replaces it and soaks into the core of each grain rather than just coating the surface. The pot is re-evacuated during keep warm, for up to 40 hours of vacuum keep warm.
The RC-DX10T (1.0L) cooks up to 5.5 cups of uncooked rice and Toshiba suggests it for about 1–6 people; the RC-DX18T (1.8L) cooks up to 10 cups, for larger households or bigger batches. Cups are measured with the cup supplied.
According to Toshiba, the RC-DX adjusts the pressure release for each mode, so brown rice and mixed grains can be cooked to a soft texture without pre-soaking.
The keys and display are labelled in English and Simplified Chinese — for example KEEP WARM/REHEAT, TIMER, MENU, START and OFF/CANCEL. Toshiba's owner's manual is available in Chinese and English.
It is rated at 220V (RC-DX18T: 220–240V), 50/60Hz, which suits household mains in Hong Kong, Macau, the UK, the EU, Australia and New Zealand. It has an HK/UK Type G 3-pin plug, and a free adapter for your delivery country is included — Type I for Australia and New Zealand, Type E/F for the EU. No step-down transformer is required. It is not suitable for Taiwan's standard 110V household supply.
Toshiba Vacuum Pressure IH Rice Cooker | RC-DX Series (1.0L / 1.8L)
Vacuum soaking and pressure cooking, made in Japan.
The RC-DX starts by pumping the air out of the inner pot so that water reaches the core of each grain, then cooks under pressure of 0.5–1.2 atmospheres, adjusted automatically for each mode. Its 7mm 'diamond binchotan' pot works with 3D induction heating and a wave-patterned base, and it offers 4 rice types, 7 cooking modes, Steam, Cake and Soup functions and up to 40 hours of vacuum keep warm. It is made in Japan.
Vacuum Soaking
A vacuum pump removes the air from the inner pot so that water replaces it and soaks into the core of the grain.
Rice That Takes Up More Water
According to Toshiba, rice from a vacuum and pressure cooker comes out plumper and glossier than rice from an ordinary cooker.
Automatic Pressure Cooking
The pressure release is timed automatically for each mode (0.5–1.2 atmospheres); Toshiba says brown rice and mixed grains need no soaking.
7mm 'Diamond Binchotan' Inner Pot
From the inside out: diamond titanium coating, thick aluminium for heat conduction, an iron and stainless steel heating layer and a binchotan far-infrared coating — non-stick and hard-wearing.
Wave-Patterned Pot Base
The rippled base produces stronger bubbling and convection, so the rice heats more evenly.
3D Induction Heating
Induction heating warms the pot from all around, heating every grain evenly.
More Than Rice
4 rice types, 7 cooking modes and 3 special functions — it can also steam, bake a cake and make soup.
Made in Japan
This cooker is made in Japan, and the control panel is marked 'MADE IN JAPAN'.
