Every time I shop at grocery stores or meat stores in Asia I honestly wished I have a mini cooker that allows me to cook, so that I can buy the wagyu beef and make myself a shabu shabu in my room.

And recently I’ve found the one on amazon.ca!

This dual voltage travel cooker comes with an aluminum pot, a hot plate, a container with lid, a spork and a bag.  Before using it, you can change the appropriate voltage under the hot plate, and just plug it in!  (you may need a convertor plug too!)

The pot is imported from Japan and initially the estimated arrival date would be more than a month from my purchase date, however the product arrived in just 2 weeks!

The price is fair and I’ve tested it takes about 5 minutes to heat a cup of water, and about 15-20 mins to heat 2.5cups of water if you want to cook a pack of instant noodle.  The hot plate has a safety feature that discontinues the power when the pot is heated at a certain temperature, so you will see the red light goes on and off, and that’s probably also why it takes a rather long time to heat up.  Apart from the heat up time, the weight (about 1.1kg) and size of the pot is light and small enough to travel.  I would definitely recommend this for families with small children, so that you can now sterilize the bottles, make home cooking healthy meals with fresh veggies and noodles at ease!

Take a look at my “open box” video, and check out what’s inside!

每一次去韓國日本逛超市的時候，眼看肥美和牛和其他新鮮蔬果都希望如果可以即席來個shabu shabu你說多好？

終於，近日在amazon.ca找到了傳說中的輕便100-240V 旅行小電鍋。產品源自日本，本來預算郵件到達日期約需要1個多月，不過竟然在購買後2星期後就已經到手！

這個輕巧旅行小電鍋包括一個方形鋁製鍋、發熱盤、食用膠盒和蓋子、叉匙兩用Spork和小布袋。使用前只需要在發熱盤下調校合適電壓就可以使用，不過去歐洲或者其他國家記得帶備另外一個三腳或者圓腳插頭！

剛剛就在家中試用一下，一杯水大概用了約5分鐘才煮滾，而2.5杯水則要大約15-20分鐘，如果打算煮一個即食麵的話來時說時間還是頗長。這個小電鍋的發熱盤有一個安全設計，就是當發熱盤到達某一個溫度的時候就會切斷電源，發熱盤上的小紅燈會不時開關，所以就這樣需要更長時間來將水煮滾。除了這點以外，以價錢、大小、重量（大概1.1kg）都非常合適隨身攜帶去旅行，特別適合有小朋友的家庭，這樣就可以隨時消毒奶樽、煮清淡的麵條、蔬菜和肉片，同時大人亦可以隨時和牛shabu shabu！
