Dreepor Multifunctional Electric Cooker Mini Rice Cooker
Quick verdict

A Dreepor mini built around frying rather than steaming: fry an egg, saute your aromatics, then cook rice in the same non-stick pot. It is the right pick when the cooker is your only cooking surface, as long as you do not expect a sear.

Pros and cons

โœ“ Pros

  • Non-stick pot gets hot enough to fry an egg or saute aromatics
  • Covers breakfast and dinner from one pot in a room with one socket
  • 4.7 owner rating with 10K+ sold

โœ— Cons

  • No steamer tray, so rice and a viand cannot cook together
  • Capacity and wattage are both unstated
  • Non-stick coating caps how hard you can sear, and it is the part that fails first
  • A marketplace brand with no service network, so a failure is a return claim, not a repair

This Dreepor leans into frying. The non-stick pot gets hot enough to cook an egg or saute aromatics, not just steam rice, which makes it a genuine option when the cooker is the only cooking surface in the room.

What frying in a rice cooker pot really means

Set expectations properly and this is a useful appliance. Get them wrong and it is a disappointment, so it is worth being blunt about the mechanism.

A cooker at this price is thermostat-controlled: it heats until it reaches a set temperature, then cycles off and on to hold there. That is exactly right for rice and perfectly fine for eggs, hotdogs, tocino, fish and sauteed garlic. It is the wrong tool for anything that browns through sustained high heat, because the thermostat cuts power before the pot ever gets there.

The non-stick coating points the same way. Coatings are not meant to be run hot and dry, so even if the cooker could reach searing heat, you would not want to use it that way. Brown your meat in a real pan and finish it here if you want both.

What actually works in it

A breakfast fry-up: eggs, longganisa, hotdogs, toast-adjacent things you would pan-fry. A simple ulam: fish fillets, sauteed vegetables, ground meat for giniling. Then rinse it and cook rice in the same pot for dinner. For a dorm or an office pantry where there is one socket and no stove, that sequence is the whole argument.

Around โ‚ฑ373 as of August 6, 2026, it costs a bit more than the plainest Dreepor and less than the steamer models. You are paying for a pot that fries instead of a tray that steams.

Keeping the coating alive

The coating is what fails first on every cheap cooker, and it fails from handling rather than from age. Four habits carry it: never heat the pot empty, never use metal utensils, let it cool before it meets water, and keep steel wool out of the kitchen entirely.

Who this Dreepor suits

Buy this if you want one pot that can fry as well as cook rice in a small space, and you are happy to buy without a stated capacity. Treat it as a budget workhorse: there is no service center behind a marketplace brand, only the return window.

If you would rather steam than fry

For a steamer tier instead of a frying focus, the Dreepor multi cooker with steamer is around โ‚ฑ459 as of August 6, 2026. Cooking for more people? The Dreepor 2L to 4L cooker with steamer sizes up to 4L and carries a 4.8 rating for around โ‚ฑ434 as of August 6, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it really fry, not just cook rice?

Yes, for everyday frying. The non-stick pot gets hot enough for eggs, hotdogs, tocino, fish fillets and sauteing garlic and onion. What it will not do is hold the high, dry heat a proper sear on beef needs.

Does it come with a steamer?

No. There is no tray on this model, so rice and a viand cannot cook at the same time. Dreepor's steamer versions cost a little more if that trade matters to you.

How big is the pot?

The seller does not state a capacity. The listing pitches it as compact for small kitchens, so plan for one or two servings and ask in Shopee chat if you need the exact liters.

Why will it not brown meat properly?

Two reasons. A cooker like this is thermostat-controlled, so it holds a moderate temperature rather than the high one browning needs, and a non-stick coating should not be pushed to searing heat anyway. Brown in a real pan if that matters.

How do I make the non-stick coating last?

Never heat it empty, never use metal utensils, let it cool before washing, and keep steel wool away from it. On a cheap cooker the coating is the first thing to go, and every one of those habits is what takes it.
