This is the first English-language book to focus on the electric rice cooker and the impact it has had on the lives of Asian people. This account of the rice cooker’s globalization aims to move away from Japan-centric perspectives on how “Made in Japan” products made it big in the global marketplace, instead choosing to emphasize the collaborative approach adopted by one Japanese manufacturing giant and a Hong Kong entrepreneur. The book also highlights the role Hong Kong, as a free port, played in the rice cooker’s globalization and describes how the city facilitated the transnational flow of Japanese appliances to Southeast Asia, China, and North America. Based on over 40 interviews conducted with key figures at both National/Panasonic and Shun Hing Group, it provides a fascinating insight into the process by which the National rice cooker was first localized and then globalized. Interspersed throughout are personal accounts by individuals in Japan and Hong Kong for whom owning a ric

Where there are asians, there are rice cookers is a post from: Sanyo Rice Cookers

Today, a considerable majority of university dorms do not allow the use of any cooking devises, such as electric woks and crock pots etc., with the exception of a simple rice cooker and possibly a toaster. As a result, students are forced to buy their meals at college cafeterias or local restaurants, which charge an arm and a leg. But now there’s a way around the restriction imposed by the dorms—with the use of a rice cooker. This book is to share the recipes that I found to be quick and easy to make using the rice cooker with other college students in the hope that they too can save a bundle, eating delicious dishes at the same time. Also, this book is a great book for beginning cooks, since it teaches simple recipes by using a few common ingredients that can also be performed on a stove or electric wok.
