Sanyo ECJ-HC55H 5-1/2-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker and Slow Cooker, Grey Review
I’m Japanese and I eat rice A LOT, and many people are very picky about rice in general. I used to have a cheap basic rice cooker with bare minimum functions (cooks rice, steam veggie-which I don’t, keep warm), as a result of being a poor student. However I don’t think I will never go back to those basic ones after I experienced how rice should be made and taste using this rice cooker! Really, it’s worth paying for a great rice cooker like this.
My favorite feature is that it makes an excellent short-grain brown rice. I do love white short-grain rice (a.k.a. sushi rice), but I alternate with short-grain brown rice sometimes. Usually, brown rice takes forever to cook, and it’s much drier than short-grain white rice, and it’s hard to eat those non-sticky rice with chopsticks (I can’t separate rice and chopsticks!). But this machine makes the most fluffy and moist brown rice I have ever had! And I just set the timer in the morning, and I never have to wait all night for the brown rice to be cooked! My fiance and roommate were truly surprised with the result too.
I haven’t used the Tofu making function, but I am very excited about that too. It’ll be fun to make fun tofu!
