RE : Thermal Food Jar
Isetan having a crazy living sale from 7-16 Nov at Tampines and Katong. Endo Thermal food jar 1.5l is selling at S$29, 500ml at S$12 and 350ml at S$10. Just thought of letting you gals know though I'm not sure if it is as good as the Tiger one.

RE : Endo Thermal Magic Cooker
Same sale 1.8l at S$29 and 5l at S$59. I think I'll be getting the 5l one to cook soup for the adults at home.
Save myself some electricity and gas.

Hi Gar,
From what Sunny/Stephie told me, the porridge wont be very nua. More like Teochew style of porridge.
My method (learning from Sunny & Stephie) is
1) Soak rice 1st (at least 2 hrs)
2) Cook stock (up to ur preference)
3) Boil the rice into the stock for at least 15 to 20mins.
4) At the same time while boiling, I aso steam veggies (15mins).
5) Mash the veggies.
6) Add them into the rice/stock. Boil for another 5 mins.
7) Pour into the TIGER food jar.
Porridge in the food jar after 2 - 3 hrs (usually i cook early) will be more lumpy. So i will "chop/mash" the porridge again b4 feeding my gal.
Oh ya, sometimes, i find the porridge abit dry, i will add bits of hot water 2 mk it slightly watery.

Hi Garfield9,
Just need to boil the rice with the ingredients for about 15 minutes then transfer to the food jar and keep for 2 hours then can liao. But must put just right amount of water if not too watery or too dry plus the ingredients must cut fine/small pieces so as to be cooked evenly and well.

Hi Esther,
Wah... You got so many steps. I don't bother to soak the rice. Just chop using my blender's chopping attachment. The ingredients I also chop using the same attachment.
I find the porridge very nuah leh.

Hi jass1408,
I seldom cook for the adults at home that's why my HB complain say I pian xin. Only care about baby's food. That day I was cooking chicken soup for Danica (Annabel Karmel's receipe) and he said what's that nice smell? When I told him for Danica only he made a face at me.

Hi apple79,
I cook seperately cause the container for the magic cooker is not non stick. My pot is. So if cook using that if not hardworking enough to stir and stir the bottom will be black black and well... I not the hardworking type. If not going out I use the magic cooker. If going out I use the food jar. So I have to cook separately anyway if I going out.

apple:
for magic cooker, u soak rice grains in the pot tat comes w the magic cooker. after abt 30 min - 1 hour, boil w stock and other ingredients and put it ton stove to boil. once boil liao, let it simmer on slow fire.. then after 15 min just insert the whole pot into the magic cooker can liao. for me my 'other ingreidients are pre-cooked frozen puree, so i add in and boil again before serving.
i tried slow cooker once. it is too slow. coz mine is foc when i sign up for dunno wat so it doesnt have temp control or high and low. only got on and off. after 1.5 hours, the rice is not even cook. so i gave up on slow cooker. plus i find it use up a lot of electricity coz its a 'slow' cooker haa~

jeannie:
u going what farms?
apple / jeannie:
matt oso hate wet porridge / cereal. if too wet must add cereal to thicken it.
jeannie:
intro meat not necessary need to blend lah. since u havent buy yet, think no need to invest now coz gwen will not need v fine food. if u cook the meat long enuff... its will be soft. so can just tear into small bits ba. but more tiring for u lah. hahahah coz i find that sometimes i use blender, the food will be too fine. esp when i wanna him to start to 'chew' his food, so wanna the texture to be more lumpy.

Hi Garfield9,
No problem.
Hi Esther,
Yeah... Can try adding a bit more water.
Hi jass1408,
How come leh? Got coupon is S$89 only leh. That day I went still left a few sets but my HB said cannot buy. <sigh> Should have 先斩后奏. My helper only eat. Cannot cook. If cook also cannot take care of fire, don't know when to add more water, soup boil already don't know to remove cover. <faint> So cooking all done by me when I am in the mood.
Hi jeannie,
Eh... The Braun MR5550MCA that I did the BP on lor.
For meat, if you are good with knives can cut fine fine. Or ask the meat seller to mince for you lor. But if you buy from supermarket then bo bian unless they have a delicatessen counter.
Hi apple79,
Danica likes her stuff smooth smooth leh. I only recently intro more texture into her food. She is still getting used to it. Always give me a surprised look when the porridge is more lumpy then usual but have to if not she become lazy to chew.

Maybe my baby "tam jiak" everything also want to eat.
What fish u use? I saw my MIL either use "Nor her" or the "ang go li"
I am wondering they can chew the food even with no teeth? using their gums?

Hi Andrea,
That was during the Isetan private sale and yes, need coupon with Isetan card to buy. This time round if getting both only S$88. No need coupon some more.
I already bought the 1.8l at S$39 previously. Shucks. Sorry for being cheapo.
