Tip on saving electricity


Last week, my husband came back late for dinner. I scooped out the rice from the rice cooker and placed it in the magic cooker together with Japanese curry.



I boiled the curry till boiling and transfered it in the magic cooker.

I stacked another tray on it.





I tried this a few times, it works very good. The food will stay warm for 4 hours, you may also boil the curry again and put it back in the cooker.
In this way, I will no longer leave the rice cooker that take up electricity and gas.

Thermal Magic Cooker





Recently, I bought a thermal magic cooker by Edon for $59 for a 5 litre pot.
The pot is a heat retaining stainless steel vacuum-type cooking pan that cooks thoroughly without fire. A great energy saving appliance

In the past, I boiled lotus soup for 2 hours using 1.5l of water for 3 . But now, I use only 1 litre (2 bowls of water) and let it boil for 45 mins before transfer the pot in the thermal cooker to cook. This Thermal Magic Cooker does not need any electricity.


Since no flame is used while cooking by heat retention, it is safe to leave the house before cooking is done. No gas or electricity is used during heat-retention cooking, so it is also very economical. Since the food stays warm, there is no need to reheat.

I have friend who cooked soup before going to bed and heat up the soup the next morning and put back it in the cooker again before going to work and she can have her soup when she is back from work.
