New Toshiba Rice Cooker

We got a new rice cooker, the Toshiba 5.5-Cup, and it’s been great so far. I’ve already made a couple batches of jook using both short-grain and long-grain rice, and both turned out really well.

The old Tiger model in the second photo served us faithfully for about 15 years. It was still working fine, but the inner pot coating had started to peel, so it felt like the right time to move on. It also had a fully Japanese menu, which meant I was never using it to its full potential. We found a Japanese family to pass it along to, which felt like a good ending. I hope it gives them another 15 years. 😊🍚
