The Machine

So before starting the blog with the first recipes I will have to share with you my gadget. Yes... I am a gadget person and I do own things like automatic espresso machine and a robotic vacuum cleaner.

To be frank we did not put much research into the first machine that we are running on. And I think the result is a machine that lack some of the luxury features. Iḿ thinking of things such as variable temperature and timers which could have been nice to have.

Our machine is a Tefal Automatic Rice Cooker (Comfort, model R07):
It is very basic and its main feature is its non stick boiling casserole and the fact that everything but the machine itself can go into the dishwasher limiting the time we have to spend cleaning up.

The machine comes with the impressive gear of a casserole, a plastic stirrer, a cup for measuring rice and a steaming basket for fish and vegetables. It has a total of 2 different settings "cook" and "keep warm" with the option of pulling out the plug so that there is no heat that makes it 3 settings. All in all no its not a high tech wonder. And it definitely lacks features. But its what I have, what I use and it does not seize to amaze me how easy cooking in it is.
