To help those who are worried about what to do with the popular corona in Japan, the Taiwanese cooking appliance "Electric Nabe"

Know how to use online

　The electrical products that I just bought are pounding.It will be that the person in mind whether to jump over the anxiety of that excitement and open up a new world.But sometimes it's better to get along with that anxiety.

　"Volume to teach electric pot beginners"

　This is the distribution title of the select shop "你 你" in Dihua Street, a wholesale street in Taipei.The pattern is archived on the YouTube channel (video link).

　The owner Yuka Aoki will directly tell a friend and colleague who just bought a electric pot about how to use the electric pot online.The opponent who actually wrestles with the power pot is Kiyoko Eto, a photographer who has been in charge of shooting with Aoki's own book.Mr. Eto bought a power pot, but he was prompted by Aoki that he had not even turned it on.

　In the video, while receiving Aoki's commentary, the vegetables that Eto prepared in advance in the pot and the soup make soup.As a veteran taught to the newcomer, cook together in the kitchen of a friend's house, spilling out the experiences.The viewer feels like you're with the kitchen.

　In fact, it is Yuka Aoki who introduced this electric pot to Japan early.

　"The first thing I introduced was my book that I released in 2006. I've always been pushing a power pot saying" Okay "."

　Home appliances that are not recommended.From the beginning, when Aoki started living in Taiwan in 2002, the electric pot was familiar home appliances.Aoki's first book, "Bizarre Taiwan" published in Taiwan in 2005, has this description.

　"The troublesome soybeans were boiled softly. Potof, which I prepared before going to school, was eaten at noon. I don't have to worry about burning.. Hand -free with Switch Pong (2012 Japanese version/Daido Denpo)

　Since then, every time I have the opportunity to introduce a good product in Taiwan on a guidebook, online articles, and sometimes on a radio and TV program, I have been conveying the usability of electric hot pots.

　15 years since then.The electric pot that many people know now and can only buy it after coming to Taiwan, was sold in Japan in 2015.At this time, Aoki produced a recipe attached to the Japanese version with a cook, Eiki Yamada.By the way, in the second electric pot video distributed at the end of August, Mr. Yamada is making Sunduburige in his wings.

　Now that I can't travel to Taiwan due to Corona's evil, I enjoy live commerce from Taiwan.It's slow, but its goodness is steadily expanding.

Kaoru Ariga, a soup writer, buys a electric pot.

　Kaoru Ariga, a soup writer, tweeted in January this year that he bought a power pot on his Twitter.

Denpan at the corner of the house rice

　The Cooking Recipe Award, which began in 2014, has a trend every year.In 2018, Ariga won the prize, Yoko Ariga, Yoko Ariga, "Let's be able to make it without seeing a recipe", and Erigi Inagaki's "The strongest dining table that saves a recipe book no longer needs a life."Even though it was a recipe award, there was a flow that asked the value of the recipe itself.

　"The information on home -cooked cooking that has been made so far is mainly recipes such as how to cook a restaurant at home, but now the house recipes are different.I think it's time to think again. "

　Ariga says that it was a proposal for Yoshiharu Doi in 2016, when Ariga debuted as a soup writer, which changed the flow of home cooking books so far.

　"I think that the impact of Doi -san's book gave it to the main industry.You said that it was easy to eat, but it was easy to eat, but it was a good way to eat. I heard that there were many people who thought!"

　The number of simple recipe books has increased, and on Twitter and YouTube, recipes with emphasis on "easy to do" are shared.But is it really necessary to just "comfort" -This is now that the cooks are bothering their heads.

　"Since 2000, there have been a lot of such recipes, such as simple rice and Zubora rice. I used a lot of range, and the ingredients and seasonings used were reduced, and it became a priority on simplicity.That alone will make your food thinner more and more. It's easy but eaten every day, so I think it's warm and nutritious, so that the family should be surrounded by it and say "delicious".I thought it was useless if it did not have both "easy" and "value to cook". "

　Come there, and the time of Corona's home time increases.

　"Everyone thought that there was something that would be a little fun in making everyday rice every day. Not only is it convenient, but there are fun and fun to make.When I was thinking that it was good, I saw the electric pot. So I thought, "Oh, let's buy it."

　In this way, Mr. Ariga bought a power pot.

What the electric pot told me

　"I first learned about the power pot a long time ago. My friend had a very familiar cooker in Taiwanese food. When I went to Taiwan in 2017, I saw it at the store. I bought it this time.I bought it after checking what I could do. So I knew that one button was OK, but when I first pressed that switch, it was a shock. I knew it in my head.Even though I was, I thought, "Is this the end?" "

　It was in 1960 that the electric pot that was still used in Taiwanese families was developed.Originally born as a rice cooker with the technical cooperation of Toshiba in Japan.Later, Japanese rice cookers were specialized in improving the quality of rice cooking, and in pursuit of their taste, various functions were added, and the button operation became complicated.In contrast to that, Taiwan had a "one button".

　The reason for maintaining it was that people standing in the kitchen in Taiwan emphasized as a function as a steamer, rather than rice cooking technology.In Taiwan, it is also used for cooking other than rice, such as Chinese buns and boiled vegetables.In short, it wasn't rice.

　However, the pot is not versatile.The author himself is not enough for "rice" in a pot.Although he tried many times, it was no longer cooked in a pot, combined with plump, elasticity of rice, and difficulty of watering.Speaking of which, in front of Corona, the author who temporarily return to Japan has been asked by a Taiwanese acquaintance to buy a Japanese rice cooker.At the airport, he often saw a person with a rice cooker.He is a proof that some people feel the same in Taiwan.

　On the other hand, there is something that the power pot spread.It is a cooking method option.When I was in Japan, among the many cooking methods, the approach of frying, boiling, and baking was the center.After knowing the power pot in Taiwan, "steamed" was added to it.Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, anything.Moreover, the ease of comfort, which is a button, and left alone, is less burdensome as if you are working while working.

　After using it many times, Mr. Ariga defines a pot like this.

　"It's a convenient pot, but it's a hot pot that is efficient but warm, and does not deprive us to make it. It can be devised, developed, and can be made into a sense. It is the basics of cooking.Yes, it's a real pleasure. "

　By the way, as a dish made in a pot, Aoki told me that he liked boiled corn, and Ariga likes the soup as well as soup.For breakfast at my house, boiled eggs and porridge made in a pot are recent classic.One button should be very easy.

　The Japanese "easy" character has two meanings.Reading "Raku" means that it doesn't take much time and effort, but if you read it as "Toshii", you will feel bright and positive.The electric pot, which has both of them, has now shown a new food for those who are worried about what to do in the corona.
