Cooking with a "Rice" Cooker

Free Your Mind From Words

I don't know why they call it a "rice cooker." The sometimes overused phrase by Confucius says: "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name." I find this profound because it says the beginning; not the end. So how can you call something by their proper name? Well, look at the non-verbal things that goes on. How does this object cook rice..? It does so by boiling water. How does it steam vegetables? It boils water. Okay, so let's call it a water boiler

Things I've make with my water boiler

• Oatmeal
• Pasta
• Lentils
• Beans
• Quinoa
• Steam Veggies*
• Tea*

Oatmeal

Ingredients: oatmeal, raisins, chia seeds, cinnamon and estimate water. 25 minutes on the steem setting.

Pasta

Ingredients: Pasta, pasta sauce (additional tomatoes and mushrooms), steamed broccoli and carrots.

*You can the water from the steam veggies, then use it in a tea. This way you get the nutrion from the water left by the veggies themsevles. (a tip from Tim Van Orden (more on him later)).

So what else can you do by boiling water? You can make a lot probably. However, looking at the core of what happened here was the calling something by it's proper name. We saw another way to look at the same non-verbal object by changing the verbal word, we now have many ways of using the same object. Once renamed, we have BEGAN Wisdom, then we must walk its path.

Thank you for reading this short post! I appreciate everyone spent their time here and look forward to connect with the cookers here at Steem. Take Care. It's all about Love, So let's prove it!
