Chinese Cooking Tools

Rice Cooker

It can be a blessing to have a electric automatic rice cooker when preparing a Chinese dinner. While not a required tool it saves the cook much time. It allows you to be free cooking dishes while the rice cooks without your intermittent intervention. You place a set amount of water in the lower area, a set amount of water and rice in the upper bowl and go about you work in preparing your other dishes. These units can be purchased for a small amount of money and work very well. They will come with instructions and with measurements on the water, rice and time needed.
