Judge 300ml mini rice cooker
A 300ml mini rice cooker built for one or two portions, with a non-stick pot, fill markings, and keep-warm that holds cooked rice for up to six hours.
The Judge JEA63 is a compact 300ml rice cooker built around two portions rather than a family batch, which makes it a natural fit for someone cooking solo, a couple, or anyone who resents scraping half a pot of rice into the bin. The aluminium body and non-stick pot keep the whole unit light, at 15 x 17.5 x 17.5cm and 1.27kg.
The pot itself carries fill markings, so measuring out rice for two doesn't need a separate cup, and cooking finishes into a keep-warm mode that holds rice at temperature for up to six hours. At 250W it draws a fraction of the power of a family-sized cooker, which suits its job: a small, quick batch rather than a big one.
Ideal For
Cooking rice for one person in a family-sized cooker often means eyeballing quantities; the JEA63's 300ml pot and fill markings take that guesswork out of a small, quick batch.
Two portions of rice, cooked and held warm for up to six hours, suits a couple's dinner without the leftovers a bigger cooker leaves behind.
At 15 x 17.5 x 17.5cm and 1.27kg, it fits on a narrow worktop or in a cupboard where a full-sized rice cooker simply wouldn't fit.
Key Features
Sized for two portions of rice rather than a family batch, so there's no half-empty pot or rice left over to store.
A lower wattage than a family-sized cooker, matched to the smaller batch it's designed to cook, rather than a full family pot.
Markings inside the non-stick pot show how much rice and water to add for two portions, without needing a separate measuring cup.
Once cooking finishes, rice stays at serving temperature for up to six hours, so it's still ready whenever you get to it.
At 1.27kg, it's light enough to store in a cupboard and pull out for a quick portion without much thought.
At 15 x 17.5 x 17.5cm, it takes up little more worktop space than a large mug, useful in a small kitchen.
Built for two, not a family
It would be easy to assume the JEA63 is simply a smaller version of a bigger rice cooker, but its whole design points the other way. At 300ml it's built around two portions from the outset, with fill markings inside the pot calibrated for that quantity rather than scaled down from a larger recipe. For one person, or two eating together, that's a rice cooker sized to the meal rather than a family cooker used at a fraction of its capacity.
Keep warm without overcooking a big batch
Keep Warm on a small cooker matters more than it sounds. Because there's only ever two portions in the pot, there's no danger of a large batch drying out at the edges while it waits; the whole 300ml holds evenly for up to six hours. That makes it realistic to start rice before you know exactly when dinner will happen, rather than timing everything around the cooker.
Not a smaller JEA107, a different job
Judge's range includes a second rice cooker, the JEA107, and the two are easy to mix up. The JEA107 is stainless steel, runs at 700W, and cooks up to ten cups with a steamer basket and full accessory set for family meals. The JEA63 is aluminium, runs at a quarter of the power, and is built around two portions instead. Neither is a smaller or larger version of the other — they're built for different kitchens, and this one is for a table of one or two.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Judge Feature | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking for one | 300ml capacity | A single small batch of rice, sized for one portion or two, without cooking more than you'll eat. |
| Quick weeknight rice | 250W element | A smaller element than a family cooker, matched to a batch that only ever needs to cook two portions. |
| No measuring cup | Fill markings in the pot | Markings inside the pot show the right level for two portions, so there's nothing extra to measure out. |
| Eating on your schedule | Keep warm, up to 6 hours | Rice stays at temperature for up to six hours, so it's ready whenever you actually sit down to eat. |
| Small kitchens | 15 x 17.5 x 17.5cm build | A small footprint that fits a narrow worktop or a shelf where a full-sized cooker wouldn't. |
| Getting started fast | One-touch, automatic operation | Press one control to start cooking, without dials or settings to work out first. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 300ml capacity built for one or two portions
- Keep-warm holds cooked rice for up to 6 hours
- Fill markings inside the pot, no separate cup needed
- Lightweight aluminium build at 1.27kg
- Compact 15 x 17.5 x 17.5cm footprint
- Non-stick pot lifts out for easy cleaning
- One-touch, automatic operation for quick everyday use
Considerations
- At 300ml, this suits one or two portions — it's not a family-sized cooker like the larger 1.8 litre JEA107.
- This is a mains-powered countertop appliance with no cordless or battery operation.
- Keep-warm is rated for up to 6 hours, not overnight storage, so rice is best served within that window.
