I used it to cook 2 cups and it really stick to the bottom of the pot. I am not sure how to change the clock of the pot. May need to bring it back to the shop and ask the staff to change it. <br />jjchthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486466774910797648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-9076993430380727382012-10-15T07:54:41.204+08:002012-10-15T07:54:41.204+08:00Hi,

I only blanch the meat if I use it to cook soup. No need to blanch the meat if to make char sau. Need to marinate the meat before cooking. <br />jjchthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486466774910797648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-76656871601534464372012-10-13T11:30:13.084+08:002012-10-13T11:30:13.084+08:00Hi,

Majority of the recipes requires me to blanch the meat first. Do you find this nessasary? I feel like it defeats the purpose of less work if I have to use a separate pot to blanch the meat before putting it in the buffalo rice cooker.<br /><br />Btw your BBQ pork looks delicious! I will try making it once I learn how to use the rice cooker.Kawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969035112373804414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-79351424950204039212012-03-06T21:41:53.425+08:002012-03-06T21:41:53.425+08:00Hi Renny, it's better to drop by the Buffalo s...Hi Renny, it's better to drop by the Buffalo shop to take a look of the cooker, talk to the salesperson and attend the product demo (if any). The rice did stick a abit and that was probably becoz I cooked the rice in not big amount (i think 2 cups only). But the rice didn't burn. I have not tried to cook brown rice with it. What I usually do is use it to cook soup/dish and I used the normal rice cooker to cook rice. Hope that helps.jjchthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486466774910797648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-42883237945945478662012-03-06T00:04:42.034+08:002012-03-06T00:04:42.034+08:00I am considering getting a Buffalo Smart Cooker &a...I am considering getting a Buffalo Smart Cooker & would love to know anything about it at all from someone who owns one! I am having trouble finding reviews on it. Can it hold the rice at warm for an extended period? Does the rice stick much? Does the rice burn? & most importantly, have you cooked brown rice & are you happy with the results? Thanks for any input you can offer.Rennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111765919059753484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-64023736181852342742011-10-05T10:50:08.315+08:002011-10-05T10:50:08.315+08:00I used "Cooking/Reheat" button.I used "Cooking/Reheat" button.jjchthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486466774910797648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-49263930540535226682011-10-02T15:08:07.246+08:002011-10-02T15:08:07.246+08:00May i ask which MENU to choose on the Buffalo Smar...May i ask which MENU to choose on the Buffalo Smart Cooker?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429706401789664741.post-14611391429978881372011-03-04T15:22:11.387+08:002011-03-04T15:22:11.387+08:00Hi Colleen, thanks for dropping by.
