Like the Thermomix, the Smart Cooking Robot makes use of two key technologies. The first is a 1,200W 3D induction heating coil built into the triple-layer stainless steel pot, enabling the latter to get up to 180 degrees Celcius, which Xiaomi says is hot enough for stir frying.
The second is a 500W reluctance electric motor that can spin at up to 12,000rpm, driving blades that can grind and chop ingredients when spinning in one direction and mix them in the other. It can even knead dough by rotating the blade in different directions. A cleaning function is built into the appliance, letting you wash fruits, vegetables, meat and the pot itself, simply by pouring water into it.
