Rice Cooker

If there’s one thing you should invest in when it comes to Chinese cooking, it’s a rice cooker. Who doesn’t need a device that can do the thinking for you? A rice cooker has an internal temperature sensor that can sense when all the water has been absorbed by the rice or grains in the pot. It then miraculously switches to a setting that keeps the rice warm, so you don’t have to do a thing and you don’t have to worry about your rice burning. This is especially great when you’re entertaining and trying to juggle a few recipes at once.
