Sarah shares her experience living with Cuckoo's Model CRP-P0609S - High Pressure Rice Cooker and Warmer and details why she went from rice cooker skeptic to a rice cooker fan!
Starring Sarah Lane and Roger Chang
Show Notes are here.
Highlights:
Can handle 6 cups of uncooked rice - around 10 cups cooked. Has glutinous rice, brown rice, and GABA rice settings, plus turbo modes for time constraints. Depending on your desired result, you can cook rice for 4-6 people in about 30 minutes, or make yourself rice for at least a week. It also has "mixed rice" option where you can manually set time/temp.
Can also boil eggs, cook beans, lentils, tofu, and steam vegetables/meat. Can serve as a crockpot for stews.
Really versatile for anything that fits inside the chamber.
Can serve as a microwave alternative when reheating dishes that need more moisture.
Will take up space on the counter, depending on your living situation. About 1 foot by 1 foot. Looks very nice, easy to store away if you have room.
Will make a small space humid as the steam releases. Good for plants! Maybe not for all spaces.
