When it comes to "rice cookers," the older generation will never forget the adorable image of the "Dongtong, Dongtong, good domestic goods" Dongtong baby, and almost every household had a Dongtong rice cooker in the 1950s and 1960s. But at some point, such scenes became a thing of the past. Nowadays, the new generation views "rice cookers" as outdated. They say, "Use an 'electronic cooker' to cook rice—it's so convenient!" In fact, I once had the same thought. Although my mother often says, "The fragrance of rice cooked in a rice cooker is unmatched by electronic cookers." "A rice cooker isn't just for cooking rice!" "You're so lacking in culinary skills, but if you use a rice cooker well, you can also hide your weaknesses!" Before staying in the U.S., my mother said, "Bring a small rice cooker—it will definitely come in handy." But I still wasn't convinced and found it too troublesome, refusing to bring one. Until one day, I tasted a feast cooked by a Taiwanese wife in the same dormitory using a rice cooker. Perhaps the fragrance of the rice blended with nostalgia, and the delicious-looking dishes brought back the smiles of the Dongtong babies. That inexplicable sense of emotion made me develop an irreplaceable appreciation for rice cookers.
After returning to Taiwan, I found an Italian-style pressure cooker in the house, thinking my mother was following trends. Unable to resist the temptation of shopping channels and cooking shows, I assumed she would soon be storing this large stack of stainless steel pots in the attic. One day, I was surprised to see my mother effortlessly stewing a pot of pork trotters—her father's favorite dish—and realized she was serious about it. Now, there's much less smoke in the kitchen. My mother said, "With a rice cooker and a pressure cooker, I no longer have to be covered in grease to easily cook a great meal!"
