Thanko Super-Fast Rice Cooker and Lunchbox for One

To make the trademark Japanese sticky rice, you need a rice cooker. That's something that any Japanese who's ever cooked a meal will confirm. But what happens if you are living alone and just want a quick portion of rice for your dinner when you come back from work? Why should you have to buy a bulky rice cooker that can feed a family of four for a week? Well, you shouldn't - and this is why the Thanko Super-Fast Rice Cooker and Lunchbox for One was invented: to help you enjoy your rice and your rice alone in just 14 minutes.

One measure of rice and one measure of water is all the Thanko Super-Fast Rice Cooker and Lunchbox for One needs to start cooking a perfect, extra-large bowl of rice (or two, if you're on a diet). By the time it will take you to have a shower, your rice will be ready and warm. The cooker also keeps it warm for you. And after you're done, you can either wash it up (it's nonstick-coated, so washing is very easy) or can keep the rest of your rice in the refrigerator to take with you the next day: besides being a cooker, it also doubles as a lunchbox and even comes in the classic Japanese bento-bako lunchbox shape!
