I want to start eat better , so I be explore some simpler japanese food . right now , that be onigirus -- rice ball stuff with fish or something salty , and then wrap with norus . I eat these for breakfast nearly every day when I be in Japan because you could pick they up at the convenience store . anyway , after make a couple batch of rice on the stove -- which require a lot of watch and tend -- I decide to check out rice cooker price . turn out , you can find they cheap enough to make get one completely worth it . this little cooker be plenty big enough for one serve at a time -lrb- though it be capable of three cup of cook rice -rrb- . someone else 's review mention travel with this ... completely feasible because this thing be tiny ! the cooking bowl be sufficiently non-stick -- stove cook rice in the pan I have be a mess . with this cooker , not a grain be waste . Super hassle-free . great value . very glad I buy this .
