It’s all in the name! This bento box is a single-serving portable rice cooker that allows you to enjoy freshly cooked rice, even outside of the comfort of your home.
This dream invention is for all those who appreciate the deliciousness of freshly cooked rice. All you need to do is add a 1/2 scoop or 1 scoop (using the attached measuring cup) of uncooked rice to the box,  add the appropriate amount of water, plug it in to a wall outlet, and come back 15-20 min later to your serving of piping hot rice.

Important: This appliance is made for 100 v electricity. Use a transformer to convert your country’s voltage to 100 V electricity when using this appliance.

What we love about it:


• Compact and lightweight (840 g (29.2 oz). Who would guess that this normal sized bento box is also a rice-cooking appliance?!

• Easy to clean (waterproof and non-stick!)

• Features a Keep Warm function
• Great for using at work, home, even on the road in your car if you have a power source.
• Also can be used to heat up other types of food, perfect if you don’t have access to a microwave. 

• It’s quiet! No annoying beeps or sounds of cooking.
  

Instructions:


1. Pour 1/2 scoop or 1 scoop rice into bento (note that 1/2 scoop is the Japanese standard serving size for an adult)
2. Add water according to the markings on the side of the box (for 1/2 scoop of rice, fill to “0.5” line with water, for 1 scoop, fill to “1” line)
3. 
Close lid
4. Plug bento into power outlet

5. Turn switch on. Red light will appear to indicate cooking
6. NOTE: Some steam may be released when cooking 1 scoop. 
Cooking times:  1/2 scoop is 14min, 1 scoop is 19.5min
7. Once cooking is complete, light will turn green. This indicates the “keep warm” function.
8. To make your rice extra delicious and fluffy, we recommend keeping the lid closed and steaming the rice for another 10 min.
9. Remove lid and enjoy! (Note that there will be some condensation water droplets formed on the bottom side of the lid so have a paper towel or furoshiki at hand to wipe)
