Ophalmoskepsis

COOL, missed this one from way back in the thread--

Quote "I can sit myself down and contemplate my navel"

I'm so excited that someone (besides me) has heard of this. The Englsh word for this is:

"Ophalmoskepsis."

oph-al-mos= NAVEL
(oph-THal-mos = EYE)

Its sorta funny to be reading this thread right now. A local catering company brought a rice cooker in to be repaired. I realized that I had no idea what proper operation is for a rice cooker! Before I moved to Hawai'i, I was only vaugely aware of their existance.

Here rice is huge, since most the local people have some sort of asian heritage. A local thanksgiving dinner will have the same potatoes and stuffing as the mainland, but also includes a vast tub of rice. (got starch?) A visit to the islands would not be complete with out a "Hawaiian Plate Lunch" which features 2 kinds of meat, two scoops of rice and a scoop of potato-macaroni salad. I always ask for 2 scoops of the salad and one scoop of rice. I then douse the rice with Aloha Shoyu (soy sauce). Its said that local people who move to the mainland can die if they don't get regular shipments of Aloha Shoyu and Hinode rice.

Anyway, after repairing the rice cooker, I tested it out by making rice, which I had for lunch today! It was Hinode's "Hapa blend" which is a mix of white and brown rice.

Oh another huge rice thing here is Spam Misubi. Its a slice of horrid Spam married to a pressed cake of sticky rice and wrapped up with a sheet of seaweed. The Spam does taste better here as it has been properly "cured" in a Matson shipping container.

Rice Cooker repair

Surprised anyone brought in a rice cooker to be repaired. Like most small appliances today, cheaper to buy a new one.

This one got repaired because it is a Hugh Jass commercial cooker- a 25 cup unit. Not replaced cheaply at walmart!

Hugh Jass

So what was wrong with it?

And what triggers it to pop-- er I mean stop cooking.

Is it temperature alone? Because I cant figure out why I can saute oil in mine first..that MUST be over 212.F (100.C)

Notice the Gas rice cooker is NOT NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified. Is this telling us that teflon is NOT an approved cooking surface?

It is also not AGA (American Gas Association) certified. *KABOOM* Come to think of it I did not see CSA (Canadian Standards Authority there either!) Not sure which is more strict. Although my Turkish gas stove is approved for use by CSA, but not by AGA.)

Quote: Push The Button And Walk Away . . .
Push the pilot ignition button (therby lighitng) the pilot. Operator must verify pilot is lit by viewing through jacket window before attempting to light main burner. Push the cook button to start the cook cycle. Cooking stops automatically when the rice is done. The pilot burner keeps rice warm.

*Here is why IMHO not AGA approved. User must verify ignition

Quote: Cover the raw rice in the pot with approximately 1" of water.

*Screw measuring. LOL could it possibly BE so simple?
