strange. I have never had any desire to own a rice cooker before, but this thread is enticing me to make a purchase...
oh yea, what is "jook"?

 

I got a new rice bucket!

 

i have that rice cooker. It's awesome. That quick mode is just awesome. The instant perfect rice, everytime. just 1-1 ratio is all you need. talk about high tech.. fuzzy logic rice control!!... i haven't made the jook yet. i don't like that type. Since i am taiwanese, i like the soupy type...

 

Here's the product description:

The automatic keep-warm feature switches on after the cooking is finished, and the nonstick pan ensures fast, easy cleanup.

jook is congee, it is bascially rice with a lot of water and it turns into a porridge/ stew like soup. can be eaten plain, if ur sick or u can add all sorts of things to it, like preserved radish, fried bean curds, tofu, fried dace with black bean, the list goes on

 

i've never seen a rice cooker thing before haha

 

My favorite way to have rice is Japanese style, ie a bowl of rice, a side dish of meat, and a soup (most of the time Meso) YUMMY! ^__^

I swear, the Orient has some of the tastiest and simplest foods out there

 

wow. this thing makes jook without having to stir and it will not burn rice on the bottom?? dang...gotta get me one... dammit, now i'm craving jook. think i'll go to an asian market to get some preserved eggs tomorrow to put in my jook...

 

Sweet! Any mods?

 

Does it go into VTEC when the rice is getting hot?
