In #decluttering, we discovered I had a very good, appropriately small #RiceCooker.
I hadn't used it in years, as preparing anything to eat with the rice was beyond me. (Yes, I realise many solutions to that issue probably exist, but I am and have always been genuinely NOT a good cook and it is not an area where I am likely to come up with alternatives. Figuring out stuff with wood and fasteners, no problem. Foodstuffs? No idea. Definitely NOT my skillset).
Anyhow, my family member knows I love #porridge but haven't eaten it for years due to my concerns about stove #safety and #tremours. I also loathe the instant packet porridges -- I have no idea what they do to make them taste sweet but unpleasantly over-the-top sweet, but they have accomplished it, ugh.
Annnnnnnd … it turns out you can use rice cookers ro cook things OTHER THAN #rice!
Not a revolutionary concept to many readers, I know, but this was shockingly new information for me! 😂

We discussed my ability (and willingness) to attempt cooking food again. My relative bought some ingredients and we had an incredible #Indian dish one night (can't recall the name, apologies!) all made in the rice cooker from start to finish. Amazing!!! ❤️ 23/x #MealPrep #FoodSecurity #Inflation #poverty #accessibility #disability
