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.
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:
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.
- Pour 1/2 scoop or 1 scoop rice into bento (note that 1/2 scoop is the Japanese standard serving size for an adult)
- 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)
- Close lid
- Plug bento into power outlet
- Turn switch on. Red light will appear to indicate cooking
- NOTE: Some steam may be released when cooking 1 scoop. Cooking times: 1/2 scoop is 14min, 1 scoop is 19.5min
- Once cooking is complete, light will turn green. This indicates the “keep warm” function.
- To make your rice extra delicious and fluffy, we recommend keeping the lid closed and steaming the rice for another 10 min.
- 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)
