What!? Cola to sweeten the meat!?
I will try it as soon as I get the chance!! Thanks!!You won't believe it, but it's good! The carbonated soda combined with pressure buildup inside the rice cooker speeds up the slow-cook process, and the carmelized sugar is good for kakuni.
I've also tried cooking beef chuck with beer to make beef stew, and it was great! Especially because you don't have to watch it.
(Note: Japanese don't use crockpots/slow-cookers.)
Guys, he;lp... I'd like to make some porridge, (upset tummy from flu), but I'm not sure how I should set the water levels (there are guides in the pot, but I'm not sure what they allude to...)
Tasukete onegai shimasu!
It was the best thing I purchased within the last 6 months (next to my ipod lulz) and I use it almost daily!Omedeto Yukio!
I would love to have a rice cooker (since i'm the only person in my house who seems to like rice and lately it seems like alot of work to do just for me), and now you're making me jealous. Well anyway, good luck with getting better acquainted with it, just for the record i would prefer ﾅ津懌?｢ﾂｪ窶堋ｪ窶堙､ over 窶牢窶堋ｪ窶堙､.
Nice to see everyone....
I think I noticed, but, it was perfect, the okayu was delicious!Edit on 2nd April 2007: description of 窶牢窶堋ｪ窶堙､ and ﾅ津懌?｢ﾂｪ窶堋ｪ窶堙､ were switched.
Now I modified it.
I'm sooooo sorry, Michael, I hope you did not have a problem with this!
There are indeed very few English pages on rice cookers. But um.. What do you look for in a rice cooker? Most of 'em cook rice and have a timer, and I can't really think of anything else you might need. I took a look at the newest models a few days ago, and they "special pressure regulators" and stuff, but I wonder if it really makes a difference..Hey I know it is a bit off topic, but I ma looking for a rice cooker. As there is crap all available in NZ, I will probably have to buy one in Japan during my layover. Just wondering if there is an english site regarding what to look for in a cooker? I hear the IH is all the rage, and only those models allow you to cook other stuff, but there is very little in the way of english info out there.
Thanks in advance!

I think that Panasonic does not produce electric cooking devices.
In Matsushita Group,
Panasonic produces television and digital cameras and,
I think that National produces electric cooking devices.
Maybe they use the Panasonic name for export items. The Panasonic name is well-known outside Japan, but nobody would recognize "National" as coming from the same group.
My rice cooker is nearly identical to leonmarino's model (he posted a picture as well), how would I do slow cooking with it, I thought you needed the fuzzy logic cookers to cook more complicated things... can I make brown rice with my rice cooker??As for the dishes you can cook with a rice cooker, you don't need a new and expensive one. The only thing important in the rice cooker dishes is sealing and pressure. Many people who post recipes on the Web say the cheap rice cookers work fine. In the event that you get a nice one like the Sanyo product you posted, I'd say use it to cook rice and use the older one for other foods.
Yeah! That's my specialty.Oh, to anyone else, I also have a question for a friend, who asked me how to make sticky-rice w/out a rice cooker... My rice comes out perfectly with the rice-cooker, just as I like it... but they are using just a pan, and they don't plan on buying a rice cooker. Thanks again.
