REQ: Japanese style rice cooker

Mizu_Ger

Anyone know where I can get a Japanese style rice cooker around the Dublin area (or on the internet) at a reasonable price? I checked the Asian markets around town, but can't find one. Thanks.

Lidl have one this week.

by japanese style i presume you mean the bamboo variety?

some woks come with them.....maybe try Arnotts

used to be a Spoils shop in town, did that kind of stuff. could be gone though.

maybe 'homestyle and more' (blanch & airside) would be worth a look too

No, its electric. Looks like this. My wife is looking for one, but can't find anywhere that imports them (I doubt that they are available here through normal channels).

Argos have the same style cooker as Lidl
Usually goes for around 14

But it works! And Cooks rice!

I have one from Lidl now for about three years. It's brilliant. Cooks and keeps the rice warm.

HanYang, the Korean supermarket off the Millenium Walkway (middle Abbey street) should have them. I think they're in the region of 40 quid. Really handy though.Try to get a Cuckoo branded one if they have then - they're the best apparently.

The Lidl one is different to the Japanese one. Its a present for a Japanese friend, so they will know the difference (I am not sure what exactly the difference is myself). They've been looking for one here for a while.

Hanyang and some of the chinese stores in Dublin might have one.

You get the same results with a pressure cooker though.

There's an enormous asian warehouse store (I think they supply the restaurants, but sell to the public as well) out beside the M50, just off the Nangor Road which might be worth a look if you've exhausted all the asian stores in town. Coming from town, pass the roundabout that leads into Park West and take the next right (before going under the motorway) Linky to map. When you go into the little bunch of warehouses, turn right and head back towards the Parkwest flyover - the Asian place is at the end, just facing the flyover.

debenhams henry st/ jervis centre have them in their homewares dept. and they're having a sale on at the moment, might be worth a look.
