Rice Cookers and Brown Rice
Hi,
Couple of questions please:
Does anyone own a Panasonic Fuzzy Logic rice cooker or something similar ie. Zojirushi or Hitachi? Can you recommend them? And if so, where's the cheapest place to buy it?
Also, does anyone here cook brown rice, are there different grades and if so, what's the healthiest called in Khmer? Only ever seen it on a menu once here and that was in Sinan Restaurant on St. 172.

I believe it's called "Bai Krahom" and very few people here eat it, it's for swine and prisoners.Euro Skank wrote: Also, does anyone here cook brown rice, are there different grades and if so, what's the healthiest called in Khmer?

Brown rice is much healthier to eat than white rice, it's a fact. But people like everything white and bright here.

I have just the model shown in the picture but in black colour. Awesome, cooks great. And fast. You can also bake cakes in it, google the
model no and I think You can find the Australian manual or at least something in English. I bought mine in BigC in Thaiiland for THB2500,
in Pattaya on Central Road. Invest a little like $50-100 or so, the cheaper ones easily burn the rice. Also good with the Hitachi is that it
uses a standard computer power cord (IEC 60320 C13/C14) so as long as the voltage is correct just buy a fitting cord.
Regarding brown rice, I think that Thai monks also used to eat it, a symbol for frugality.
Regarding healthiness, I think that just swapping the fish & chips to brown rice and chicken curry goes a long way...

I get rice cooked by the Khmer fuzzy logic process, pan costs next to nothing, but rice perfect every time!
Always weary of brown rice in Cambodia, you never know if it has been recycled.
