About this product

Uncooked Rice Capacity: 40 cups
Color: Silver
Cooking Setting: 208 V

Product Overview

LARGE CAPACITY, PRECISION CONTROL

• 40-cup capacity (raw rice) capacity / 80-cup (cooked rice).

• Highly efficient thermostat maintains cooked temperature to virtually eliminate burning or overcooking.

• Ideal for restaurants, banquets, supermarkets, catering and institutional applications.

• This model requires 208V electrical connection.

ONE-TOUCH START, VERSATILE USE

• Cooking starts with the push of a button, and shuts off automatically when done. It can also braise, heat liquids and cook a variety of foods.

STAINLESS STEEL LID, REMOVABLE LINER

• Contoured, silicone-sealed lid helps protect against dust accumulation and fungus formation. Includes easy-to-clean, removable dent-resistant aluminum-alloy pan.

The Panasonic SR-GB72 is a high-capacity commercial electric rice cooker rated for 40 cups of uncooked rice, or 7.2 liters. Panasonic advertises approximately 80 cooked cups, with yield varying by rice and preparation. This model is intended for larger batches in restaurants, catering and institutional kitchens.

A single button starts cooking and the cooking heater switches off automatically when the cycle is complete. The manufacturer’s specification table explicitly lists no Keep Warm function for SR-GB72. Plan a separate, suitable holding method when rice must remain ready for service after cooking.

Measured batches in the removable pan

The removable 2.0 mm aluminum inner pan sits under a stainless-steel lid. The pan includes white-rice and sushi-rice water markings. The supplied measuring vessel is 1.0 liter, so the advertised 40-cup capacity must not be interpreted as 40 fills of that larger vessel.

Connection

208V supply; manufacturer-listed Type 6-20P plug. Verify the unit nameplate and site electrical requirements.

Certifications

UL is listed in the manufacturer catalog; SR-GB72 is named in the NSF/ANSI 4 record.

Power

2235W cooking heater. This model has no powered Keep Warm function.
