When I had my mission in Central Asia in 2010. The only thing possession I have is a rice cooker in the house. My arrival in my placement is too early as expected. Thus, the staff members of the non-government organization didn’t anticipate my early arrival. Basically, I used the rice cooker to cook my rice and food to save my day. It was really handy while waiting for the other kitchen tools as I am going to stay for a year in my mission. I didn’t feel any anger when this noble work as a volunteer in this country. Since I expect the unexpected circumstances. It is also a way to practice my initiatives in times crisis may arise. Can a rice cooker save your day?

How could you have survived by merely eating rice?

@Shavkat So you had other ingredients. I was not aware of that. We too use our rice cooker for many other things.

I basically learned to do that when I was in college. I used to stay in a dormitory where we are not allowed to cook so I had to maximize the use of the rice cooker. Me and my friends used that to cook instant pansit Canton and noodles back then.

My parents use their rice cooker daily but for me and my boyfriend - we don't. Maybe once or twice a week. I'm not a huge fan of rice.

@Shavkat Yes - I am Asian. 
But I was born and raised in America - correct! As a child - I did eat rice for the most part. But as I got older and had more options, I stop eating rice. I only eat rice by choice like a few times a week. My boyfriend prefers rice so he eats rice probably 3-4 times a week.
