We got ourselves a rice-cooker today. It’s sort of a must-have thing in Japan. I already love it and am probably going to eat even more rice from now on. It’s awesome. Today we made this:

Tell me about it — rice > potatos AND pasta.

Also, try having a hot pot evening. Google for 'hot pot', it's like fondue but Asian style. Just use the rice cooker as the pot!

Rice rocks, I eat it like 5 to 6 days a week, the rest is pizza / pasta ;P

Don't think we have rice cookers like that here, those I know are so simple looking compared to this thing: http://pan.fotovista.com/dev/1/2/00002121/l_000… The rice looked good too, so it seems to work perfectly. The end result made me hungry for real, nice synergy between the 2 of you in the kitchen xD

That looks SO yummy *q* I didn't know that Emma is a good cook
What kind of seasoning was that?? Looks Chinese to me.

Also, I've never seen the person who opened the rice cooker which was still cooking XD

  I put a note in the picture around the one we used.

Another good thing to use as a rice cooker is your microwave and a plastic “ice cream” jar. Make a few small holes in the lid pour in twice the amount of water as you put in rice, some salt, rice vinegar and nuke it att full effect in 5-8 minutes, then let it sit a while and its DONE!!!
Hehehe I couldnt resist posting this after you bought the cooker…

  Hehe, true true. Though a real cooker has a bunch of other options, the biggest one being that it can keeps the rice warm for hours before/after you cook so you don't have to plan your cooking as much.
