just to review a bit :

 

Patience .

 

it's a bit Older School . way before Clicks .

 

worked wonderfully back then

 

still works that way now .

 

Just dont forget the fresh broccoli .

 

Makes the gift.

Mine arrived yesterday PM

 

 

I was very lucky :  they sent me the French Version.  Cooking is always better ' Frenched "

For what it's worth, my Sanyo rice cooker came with a separate bowl for slow cooking so you don't muck up the rice one. I think it is a big negative if Zojirushi doesn't have one

But the Zojirushi is not sold as a slow cooker, is it?

[rotuts]

that's one way of looking at it .

 

my first RC'r is a 10 Cup National//Panasonic. . Purchased when 

 

The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook: 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risottos, Polenta, Chilis, Soups, Porridges, Puddings, and More, from Start to Finish in Your Rice Cooker (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

 

was brand new.   bowl is flat bottomed , as this is just Fuzzy

 

my 3 C Zo and now 5 C Zo ' Flat-top '  have thicker rounded bottom bowls ,  a pleasure to use.

 

I dont think these sizes would do well as slow cookers.

 

maybe a 10 C .

 

dont know why a slow cooker would muck up a quality bowl , though 

[JeanneCake]

I have 17 more days til ours is opened.  Unless I cave before that day... which if there are more additions to this thread as @rotus uses his new one, i may well do!

[rotuts]

@JeanneCake

 

no more additions from me.

 

Ill keep them for later.

 

Its a Wonderful box to Open !

 

hope you get the French One !

[rotuts]

@JeanneCake

 

Look away !

 

well I tried out the 5 C F

 

l tried out the Flat Top induction :

 

made jasmine rice , using the Cup (J)  and the water levels in the pot :

 

excellent rice.   doubt any better than in the 3 C Dome , but  ...

 

there is a cooking show , dow under :

 

The Cook Up w Adam Liaw .   

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14344360/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_The%20Cook%20Up

 

this is a week day cooking show ,  w some chat , but you move past it 

 

and I get a small tip  about 90 % of the shows Ive see

 

recently :  microwave your mushrooms ( for a bit ) 

 

you get stock and cooked ( dryer ) mushrooms to brown .

 

Ill be using that tip , 

 

next time w the   Pork iPot'd Ragu '  I 

 

I use , now 2 lbs / reduced and browed , each ' Batch "

 

so , on an Ep I recently saw :

 

he put de-boned chicken , on to up his rice , in the RC.

 

not new , but new to me  ''  chicken -rice-ISH "

 

so

 

 

 

Chicken thighs

 

 

trimmed  on top of 1 C (J) jasmine

 

 

 

this RC give you the time to done, on the interface , when you start  the 3 C round top 

 

give you the time to done , maybe the last 5 mins.  just a very smaoo thing

 

and this PC has a fan , you notie it , but its lower pitch and not very laod.

 

the chicken was moist , tender , but a bit flavor-less , but i knew that flavor was in the Rice !

 

sliced up the TThigh , added it to the rice 

 

 

and tasted :  the rice was ' sticky '   not what I expected , but very doable for later tastiness.

 

so I added ab generous Tb of Patak's biryani  paste , not simmer , mixed it up what h0ot

 

 

this will work with tomorrow .

 

for sure .
