Apartment 07 | Dash Mini Rice Cooker |

 Welcome to a new post of the Apartment 07 Series, today I am going to show you something that is not exactly new, but was one of the first appliances I got for my kitchen before moving. It is a super cute, pink, mini rice cooker! It is from a brand called Dash, I found it on Amazon along with other colorful appliances. I've recieved many comments and questions about it, that's why I decided to share more about it here.

I looove rice, and I always wanted to have a rice cooker. My bestie has a bigger one and just loves it and I always see them on k-dramas and japanese houses. I just had to get one. 

The size and pastel color of this one defo caught my eye, plus the price was just perfect! It looks slightly different than the other rice cookers I've seen too. It's more like a small cooking pot. It is only 40.64cm tall and can make 2 cups of rice, which is enough for 2 - 3 people.

It comes with a rice paddle, measuring cup, removable pot with a nonstick coating and a recipe book. It's cool to see you can make more than rice in this baby.

I really want to try this recipe one day!

It's pretty easy to use, it has 2 options: "Warm" to keep your food nice and hot and "Cook" to well... cook! It makes rice in about 20 mins.

First rice ever made with my rice cooker

On the reviews I read before buying it, some people mentioned the rice cooker had a burnt plastic smell when they used it for the first time, I didn't have that problem.

The rice cooker comes in 5 different colors. All of then are just adorable. I'll link it here in case you wanna check it out.

The first dish I made with the rice cooker was onigiri. It was easier than I thought and they came out great! Rice was soft and sticky and it didn't take forever to cook!

I'm so proud of these babies!

Another dish I made (or at least attempted to) was tamagoyaki along with rice. I kinda ruined the egg so I just wrapped it in nori to keep it together. I was inspired by the bestie's delish looking tamagoyaki but, mine was not as pretty as hers. It was yummy tho. I sprinkled some furikake on my rice and it was ready to be eaten!

It's small enough to take it with you. I even took it to work to make onigiri with my students during summer school.

They had a lot of fun cooking!

I never thought I'd ever love a kitchen appliance this much, but I do and I'm so happy I got it!

I defo recommend this rice cooker if you live alone or cook for 2-3 people. It also saves space in your kitchen, makes cooking easier and looks absolutely adorbs. Dash has other cute kitchen appliances that I might buy in the future.
