This Gaabor mini has a double-layer steamer: rice cooks in the pot while a dish steams on the tier above. Dinner for one or two out of a single appliance, in 1.5L, 1.8L or 2L.
Rice and ulam from one socket
The two levels are the point. Steam fish, kangkong, or siomai on top while the rice cooks below, and a full meal finishes together in the time the rice takes.
Two habits make it work properly. Add quick vegetables near the end rather than at the start, because leafy greens need a few minutes and rice needs twenty. And wrap anything strongly flavored, since condensation from the tray drips back into the rice and carries the taste down with it.
The non-stick pot handles the cleanup, and the stacked tier is the one thing to measure: this stands taller than a plain cooker, so check your cabinet before you buy.
What a brand actually buys you here
At this price the shelf is mostly marketplace labels with no company behind them, so it is worth being precise about what Gaabor is and is not.
It is not an old Philippine appliance name. The brand launched in 2021 and grew through Southeast Asian online marketplaces rather than through decades of showrooms and service centers, so it does not carry the repair network that Hanabishi or Standard do.
What it does have is an official store, consistent stock, and a warranty process you can actually start. Against an unbranded cooker where a failure means a return-window claim and nothing after that, having a named seller who wants to keep selling is a real difference, and it is most of what the price premium over a Dreepor buys.
Which of the three sizes to take
If you are choosing between two, take the larger. A rice pot cooks most evenly filled to around two thirds, and a mini run at its brim spits starchy water past the lid. 1.5L suits a couple who finish their rice; 2L gives you tomorrow’s baon.
Around ₱409 as of August 6, 2026, that is reasonable for a size-flexible cooker with a name on it.
Who the Gaabor suits
Buy this if you want rice and a steamed dish done together in one small unit, and you would rather buy from a brand than from a label. If you are cooking for four or more, skip every mini in this class and start at 3L.
Other small cookers to weigh up
For the cheapest way into the same rice-plus-steam setup, the Dreepor 1.8L mini rice cooker with steamer is our Best Budget pick. If you would rather choose from four capacities, the Dreepor mini rice cooker in 1.8L to 3.5L options goes higher than any Gaabor size here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really cook rice and ulam at the same time?
Yes, that is the whole point of the double layer. Rice cooks in the pot below while fish, vegetables or siomai steam on the tier above, so a full meal comes out of one appliance and one socket.
Which size should I get, 1.5L, 1.8L or 2L?
All three are mini sizes suited to one to three people. 1.5L is fine for a couple who finish their rice. Take 2L if you want leftovers, since a rice pot cooks best filled to about two thirds rather than to the brim.
Who is Gaabor?
A small-appliance brand launched in 2021 that grew through Southeast Asian online marketplaces rather than through appliance showrooms. It is not an old Philippine name like Hanabishi or Standard, but it does run an official Shopee store with a warranty process behind it.
What is the wattage of this cooker?
The listing does not state it. Ask in Shopee chat before ordering if your outlet or extension cord is already loaded, though a mini cooker of this size is light on power by nature.
How do I clean the non-stick pot?
Let it cool, then wash with a soft sponge and dish soap. Skip steel wool and metal spoons, which scratch the coating and shorten its life faster than anything else.
