Quite a few Irish friends of mine have told me they use theres for making mashed potatoes which got me thinking about doing that too.

I think we weren't too far from figuring that out, but its a bit like stone age man getting stuck using stone axes for a million years... he he

Thanks for the heads up!

The "rice cooker" in actuality is an "electric pressure cooker."

What's the significance of this?

Well, there are a million recipes on the internet for electric pressure cookers. And many, many of them are amazing. The rice cooker, aka the electric pressure cooker are basically really, really, fast crockpots. They make everything a crockpot can make in a fraction of the time. Take a look at what's out there and then when you try out those recipes, feel free to send a few shekels my way.


What this guy is saying. There are a bunch of rice cooker recipes out there for things like cakes or casseroles. I think there's even some kind of bastardized pizza out there.

Bastardized pizza in Korea? Never!

Joking aside, I just googled a recipe and it looks like something I might try someday when I am feeling ambitious.

No need to buy a Japanese product.



Of course you don't, you're blinded by your nationalist ideals. The facts are indisputable. Japan makes better rice cookers, just like they make better cars, build better roads and bridges and buildings, etc. etc. Just look at your architecture. Your buildings collapse, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampoong_Department_Store_collapse) your boats sink. Korea is just not up to par with the superior Japanese.


The ONLY thing you do better than the Japanese is sing a song.

Although, Japanese building codes are probably the strictest in the world. With the number of earthquakes they have, they got a lot of experience building quality buildings.

Having a choice between a building built by a small sized contractor, I'd definitely go with a Japanese contractor if given a choice.

If you're going to cook something other than rice in the rice cooker, check out the different models. Some of them are better suited to cooking specific things (in addition to rice). I don't know the details on what most of the differences are. I know that some can function as a pressure cooker (the normal ones only steam the rice), some can slow cook food, some use induction heating, and of course the shapes and sizes vary. I've seen people cook all sorts of stuff in them - veggies, soup, porridge, and even bread and cake. Other than for cooking rice, you need to check out the features of each model to see what it's suitable for.

They are very convenient though. I think that they are also designed to be more efficient with electricity than cooking on an electric stove. They also save you time because you don't have to watch them the way you would if you were steaming rice on the stove.

Bah, the Japanese don't make better fried chicken, cheap booze, cheap smokes, cheap meat, and I'm going to throw this out there- better baseball stadiums.

I'd take Mild Sevens over anything Korea produces (or I would, if I still smoked).
