Yes, I love my Japanese Rice Cooker. You might be wondering what the hell I am talk about when I say I love my Japanese rice cooker. I mean it only makes rice, and any fool can boil rice. So why do I love my rice Japanese cooker? So let’s take this rice dish we made for the bento.

The wife washed and placed the rice in the cooker with water, this part is same for everyone, right? Next, she added chopped onions, chopped green leafy thing, soy sauce, mirin, salt and pepper with chopped left over grilled chicken. Set the rice cooker for 20 minutes and went off to get ready for work. 20 minutes later we had this lovely tasting rice dish for the bento and breakfast. Sometimes we will wash the rice and place the rice overnight in the cooker with the timer set for 0600. This means that we will wake up with rice already for the bento’s.

So to answer why I love my Japanese rice cooker, simple it makes life easier. We are all for that, right?
