I may not have too much counter space, but I do have the means to plug it in! Plug geometry is no barrier. In fact I just gave my standard 'foreign power' lecture to Kevin. I think they are leaving tomorrow for Viet Nam to pick up the 2 babies they are adopting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11371805.post-8867686438633948142007-03-08T15:51:00.000+09:002007-03-08T15:51:00.000+09:00I haven't made a batch in a few days, I recall it ...I haven't made a batch in a few days, I recall it takes around 15 minutes. And it is very sticky, and can easily be eaten with chopsticks. Which is unusual, now that I think about it. I have been told that in general Koreans use a spoon to eat their rice. <BR/><BR/>Another interesting feature is that after cooking, it displays how many hours it has been warming. My korean friends tell me one batch of rice is only good up to about 48 hours after it is made. After that, I have sometimes used it to make fried rice.<BR/><BR/>I have never checked in the USA to see if they sell these cookers or not. I was surprised at the assortment and variety of them available in the store, here.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Stumbler didn't want one of these in the USA, because she doesn't have the counter space for another appliance. Furthermore, I told her that she (and you, too) would be disappointed if I brought home one of these cookers from Korea, since the plug would not fit in your kitchen electrical outlets (remember the heating pad with rocks I brought you).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461699923609505432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11371805.post-66996474963345572492007-03-08T15:25:00.000+09:002007-03-08T15:25:00.000+09:00Have no fear!

How long does it take to cook the rice? Is the ideal Korean rice sticky or separate flakes? Now that I've seen this wonder, my pitiful little rice steamer seems rather archaic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
