Novena Multi Function Rice Cooker (NRC-39SN) 2.8L & 1000W

I used Novena Multi Function Rice Cooker (NRC-39SN) 2.8L & 1000W

I bought this Multi Function Rice Cooker many years ago. To make kitchen work easier and smarter, today I have brought you a detailed review of Novena Multi Function Rice Cooker (NRC-39SN), which will make your cooking work much easier and hassle-free. 1000 watts of power and 2.8 liter capacity – is this really the best option for your kitchen? Along with this, I will tell you my few years of ignorance, although it is used a lot, why not? Actually, even though it is called Multi Function, it is for Rice Cooking, not for frying! So let's find out the details.

🔹 Design and Build Quality

The design of this rice cooker is quite attractive and modern. Since it has a stainless steel body, it is durable and easy to clean. Since it has a 2.8 liter capacity, it is perfect for small to medium families. You get: 1 main unit (cooker). 1 non-stick inner pot & 1 stick inner pot. 1 steamer tray (for steaming vegetables, eggs or momos). 1 glass lid. Its design is quite attractive and the body is made of strong metal. There is a strong glass lid or lid on top, due to which the cooking status can be seen from the outside.

🔹Specifications & Features

Due to its 1000W power, it can cook very quickly. Rice, khichdi, soup, noodles—everything can be cooked easily. After cooking, it automatically goes into “Keep Warm” mode, so the food stays warm for a long time.

The main attraction of this model is its capacity:

Capacity: 2.8 liters (which is enough for a family of 4-5 people). That means it is perfect for a family of 4-5 people. About 6-7 cups of raw rice can be cooked at a time.

Power: It has a 1000 watt heater, so rice cooks very quickly. It is much more efficient than a typical 600-700 watt cooker.

Auto-warm function: It automatically keeps the food warm for a long time after cooking is finished.

Use and safety: Very easy to use—cooking starts with the press of a button. It also has: Overheat protection, non-stick inner pot, safe locking system

Safety features: Has auto cut-off and overheat protection. It automatically goes into standby mode once the rice is done.

🔹 Pros 👍🔹 Cons 👎

✔Fast cooking

✔Large capacity (2.8L)

✔Multi-function convenience

✔Easy to use

✔Automatic Keep Warm

✔Safety Features

✖May seem a little small for a very large family

✖No digital display

✖Since it is 1000 watts, the power consumption may be a little high if you use it for a long time every day.

✖You have to use it carefully because it has a glass lid, there is a risk of breaking if you drop it.

✖Although it claims to be multi-function, it does not have the option of steaming or frying like some busy models.

✖Rice sticks a little to the corner pot: Although it is non-stick, a little rice sticks to the very corner, which can damage the non-stick when you try to lift it - you have to lift it gently with a spatula.

✖Preheating time: Preheating takes a little longer for hard rice or pulao. This can be a bit annoying if you want to cook quickly.

Who is it suitable for? Who is this not for?

For small to medium families (4-5 people)

For those who want to make polao, khichdi or soup with rice

For those who like to cook quickly (benefit of 1000 watts)

For families of more than 6 people, it is small

For those who do steaming or baking a lot, look at other models

If you are looking for a completely cheap rice cooker, this is not it (it is mid-range)

🎯 Final Verdict

In the current market, this model of Novena is almost not available in the market, but other models like this model are available. I bought it many years ago, in between it was not used for a long time, I bought it Probably between 4500-5000 rupees (from the local market). For those who are looking for a good quality and large size multi-functional rice cooker within the budget, this can be a great option. Especially for those who lead a busy life, it will save a lot of time. Despite some minor issues like the condensation tray and preheating time, it performs well overall. Rating: ★★★★☆ (7/10)
