Rough estimate is that these photos were taken in Utah sometime in the nineteen-forties to nineteen-fifties.

Thursday Throwback #12 : Goodbye, faithful little rice cooker!

 

For 12 faithful years the little Imusa rice cooker produced fluffy rice of all kinds from nutty Basmati to sticky Calrose to traditional long grain rice along with a few other kinds. I've lost track of how often we consulted the little manual that came with the cooker.  But then one day it started cooking the rice and stopped mid-cycle.  Nothing we tried made any difference in helping our little cooker. Sigh. 

We bought a replacement rice cooker but it's just not the same and the new rice cooker is smaller but we decided that would be best for our current rice needs.  

 Mica used it for a bit while at college and it was one of the items that made the cut to come home.  I'm so glad it made the cut because it's worked so well, being used on an almost weekly basis.  I'm also glad it was an example that there are still a few appliances that last at least a decade or more.
