We have a new rice cooker!
Jan. 16th, 2019 02:27 pmThings are pretty quiet around ours this week. (Which obviously isn't a bad thing.) So the biggest excitement of the week so far is that we now are in possession of a new rice cooker.
Technically, it's being sold as a 'multi-cooker', but aren't all rice cookers basically multi-cookers if you try hard enough?
It wasn't like we actually needed a new rice cooker, because our old one has been working fine. But the old one is the rice cooker that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
down bought while studying abroad in Japan back in 2006. And being Japanese, it wants to run on 100V as opposed to the 230V that the UK uses. This means that we've had a transformer nearly the size of the rice cooker sitting on the floor in the corner near where we use it for the past two years, so getting a new cooker means we can clear up some floor space in our tiny kitchen. (This is more exciting than it should be.)
The thing is, we have been looking for a UK rice cooker for a while to solve the space problem. So far we've only found one that is a proper simple rice cooker, not a pressure cooker, not just a weirdo slow cooker thing. This has cooking rice as it's top function.
And it's not that different from our old one.
