Hello again mochi makers,
here's another good mochi maker to make all our mochi dreams come true, I am talking about the Zojirushi Mochi Maker, BS-DAC55 model.
From pounding traditional mochi (rice cake) and kneading pasta dough to the steaming of sweet rice and custards, the Mochi Maker offers tremendous versatility in the kitchen; convenient side handles for easy transport; auto shut-off ensures perfect food preparation.
A really interesting and useful review is posted in eopinions.com about the mochi maker itself and how easy it is to get de desired mochi, here are a couple of comments :
"the has a capacity of 3.6 Liters (20 cup) as compared to the much more common 10 cup capacity machines. This meant that I only needed to make half as many batches of mochi as before, thus reducing the amount of time required by 50%. I was in heaven when I first purchased this machine!"
" I have nothing but good things to say about this machine. It is very heavy duty (for a home product) and has performed flawlessly, as long as you give it some time to cool down between batches--maybe 20 minutes. I believe I have owned it for 13 years already."
