Ebert, seriously.
How do you manage to do so many amazing things? You have lived at least as much as ten people combined.
I am impressed as always. :)
Your little tweets about "the pot knows" have intrigued me. I've pre-ordered your book, but am wondering if you have any tips for buying a rice cooker. I have noticed that the model you use doesn't seem to be available.
Ebert: The essential thing for a beginner is to choose a simple two-setting Heat/Warm model for starters, and consider fancier, more expensive models only later.
Just bought the Zojirushi 3-cup. Used it for dinner 2 nights in a row. Making my first oatmeal (organic, steel-cut, with some teff thrown in and dried sweet cherries soon to be added). I am in love. Thank you, Mr. Ebert.
