My halarious rice cooker
« on: March 14, 2012, 08:36:31 PM »
I bought a Zojirushi rice cooker, because they have an excellent reputation.  The thing does make fantastic, restaurant quality rice, but it has it's little quirks that seem to be more common with oversees products.  My rice cooker plays "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" when it begins the cooking cycle.  Found it to be pretty funny.


Here's a video for you, maybe it isn't as funny as I think it is, but you be the judge.

Thor,

 I have a Zojirushi coffee maker. All it does is make great coffee.

I also have a wife that does the rice, but just a regular coffee maker; the button on the coffee maker works like a charm.    :)

I have a Keurig coffee maker and a wife who gets her gourmet coffee in bed each morning.  8)

(As for cooking rice, I do that the old fashioned way in a cast-iron pot [tetsugama].)

You are a more patient man than I am sir.  Put the rice and water in, hit the button, and just leave it till I'm ready for dinner.  Keeps it just perfect all day if need be.   And kudos on getting the coffee each morning.

Thank you, Sir.

Which reminds me, it is now 6:26 and time to take it up to her.   8)

Sounds familiar...my sweetheart gets coffee and breakfast in bed each day (since I semi-retired anyway)...started this even before her spine issue and surgery last summer.  She never takes it for granted.  I found out on our first date 45 years ago that the back of her neck smells like sugar cookies...it still does and I've been lost ever since.
