  • Double-layer steamer cooks rice and a dish together
  • Gaabor is a known value brand
  • Size options

βœ— Cons

  • Small capacities
  • Steamer tier adds height

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, ready from a single appliance, from a brand Filipinos trust for value.

Why the double layer

The two levels are the point: steam fish, veggies, or siomai on top while the rice cooks below. Offered in 1.5L, 1.8L, and 2L, with a non-stick pot for easy cleanup. It’s a tidy way to make a full meal without a second burner.

Is it sulit?

Around β‚±409 as of July 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Reasonable for a size-flexible cooker from a known brand. The stacked steamer adds some height, so mind your cabinet clearance.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want rice and a steamed dish done together in one small unit. Compare with our top-rated picks in the best rice cookers in the Philippines roundup and the rice cooker buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

If you’d rather crisp food than steam it, a single-appliance air fryer covers a lot of the same one-pot convenience, the Midea 5.5L digital air fryer is our Best Overall pick at around β‚±4,180 as of July 6, 2026, though it costs far more and won’t cook your rice. On a tighter budget, the Electrolux 9L digital air fryer, our Best Budget pick, is around β‚±900 as of July 6, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really cook rice and ulam at the same time?

Yes. that's the whole point of the double layer. Rice cooks in the pot below while fish, veggies, or siomai steam on the tier above, so a full meal comes out of one unit.

Which size should I get, 1.5L, 1.8L, or 2L?

All three are mini sizes best for 1–3 people. If you're usually cooking for two, 1.5L is fine; go 2L if you want leftovers or slightly bigger batches.

What's the wattage of this cooker?

The seller doesn't specify the wattage. Ask via Shopee chat before ordering if your outlet or extension cord has limits.

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, they scratch the coating and shorten its life.
