(SPOT.ph) One clear sign of adulting is when groceries, hardware stores, and the home goods section of the department store become your happy place. There's a simple joy in testing out how ergonomic the curved handle of a tabo is and a palpable excitement when they've finally restocked your favorite ice cream. There's also the thrill that comes with discovering a new home appliance—like a rice cooker that can reduce carbs in your rice by 37% (a very specific number). Apparently, it's a thing. And you can try it out for less since the Condura Low Carb Rice Cooker is on sale for P3,850 from P5,500 on Lazada. It's also available for its full price on Condura's website and on Shopee.
Just for the record, carbs aren't evil. Anyone who listened in high school biology would know that carbs are essential because that's where you get your energy. (Science!) But for those with health risks, excessive consumption of carbs is linked to weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes.
Check out the features of the Condura Low Carb Rice Cooker:
But first—how does a low-carb rice cooker even work? Basically, it automatically separates the starchy water from the rice and then uses that water to steam the rice for it to cook.
According to a walkthrough video, you first place the non-stick inner pot in the device. This is where the drained water will go. Then, place the silver container that has your washed rice.
Next, you add water to the rice container until it reaches 10mm above the rice—or until it reaches that one-line mark on your pinky finger, just like your mom taught you. You then place the silver starch collector on top of the rice container before closing the lid. Lastly, just press the "low carb" setting on the device and wait around 30 to 40 minutes for your diet-friendly rice.
The Condura Low Carb Rice Cooker has a two-liter capacity and can make eight to 10 cups of regular rice and four cups of low-carb rice. It's the perfect size for a family of four at home—or for a bigger group who promise they'll just have half a cup of rice each.
The rice cooker is designed to have no overflow of water and has electric control. The built-in LED Display also makes it easy for you to choose which function to use, since the device can also cook soup, porridge, and noodles. The rice cooker only comes in a sleek and shiny black color for now, but that'll go with every kitchen countertop anyway.
The Condura Low Carb Rice Cooker is available for P3,850 from P5,500 on Lazada and for P5,500 on Condura's website and on Shopee.
