A new rice cooker

We changed a rice cooker.
And --- a new rice cooker made Yuki cook rice by himself.
Do you understand the situation?

To tell the truth, I didn't need to buy a new rice cooker, I was satisfied with the previous one.
However, Yuki "suddenly" (though it's my opinion) seemed to want to change the rice cooker to more skilled? technical? expensive? one.

Usually he doesn't eat meal at home except breakfast. However during the Obon vacation he had meals almost three times a day at home.
It means after I cook rice with a rice cooker, I keep the rice for a while to the next meal.
And he noticed.
It is delicious to eat rice as soon as it is cooked. However it is not so delicious to eat the rice which is kept warm for a while. And it must be improved by changing the rice cooker. (Actually the previous one was more than 10 years old.)

So he started searching, and nobody couldn't stop his idea, even though our elder daughter was with us. Because she is proud of her "new" rice cooker.

So I gave him a deal.
When a new rice cooker arrives, "you" cook the rice at first by yourself.
He accepted it.

---

So he cooked the rice with the rice cooker by himself, and probably it was the first time for him to cook rice by himself. (probably must learn it at home economics lesson when he was an elementary school student, because I remembered it.)

--

The rice cooker came the last day of his vacation.

It means

He said
I accept the rice as soon as it is cooked is delicious even though it was cooked with the previous one.

And
Unfortunately he hasn't eaten the rice which is kept for a while yet, because his usual days have started.



というか、そもそも、私には炊飯器の買い換えは必要なかった。
が、このお盆休み、とにかく家で「ご飯」ほぼ毎日たべていた相方さん。(基本、普通は自宅で夕食はとらない)、で、保温のご飯がどうも、だんだん気になってきたらしく・・・
「炊飯器のせいでは」と思ったらしい。

こうなると・・勝手に調べの・・・
まあ、いろいろと予算折衝ありの、
あまりの炊飯器の値段の差に驚きの・・

で、結局、送料無料25980円で、購入。
で、ありがたいことに、相方さんのお盆休み最終日に間に合い・・

「自分で買うといいだしたのだから、自分で炊いて」
ということで・・・
挑戦。
(挑戦というほどの挑戦でもないけれど、なんせ、お米の場所もしらないくらい・・・いや、正確には、さがせばわかるけれど・・という程度。)
で、計量カップではかりの、洗米しての・・自分のお好きなコ－スで、炊いた。

で、「おいしい」という。
が、これは、以前の炊飯器でも、「炊きたて」はおいしかった。
で、正直にみとめた。
「でも、2万円の差はないかもしれない」・・・・

で、仕事がはじまり、結局食べるときは、「炊きたて」なので、保温して味がどうなるか・・まだためしていない。
炊いてあまったご飯は、すぐ冷凍しちゃうし。

でも、とにかく「自分で炊ける」ことを体験していただいて・・・私には、とても価値ある25980円でした。炊飯器はもう使って10年だしね。
おもわず、くろにんにく作りように、おいておこうか・・とおもったけれど・・・・
しょっちゅう作るものではないし・・・やめて、家電リサイクルにだしました。
