Sunpentown NY-636 3-4/5-Liter Chinese Herbal Medicine Cooker with Stainless Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this to cook Chinese Herbal Medicine for a few months now. I used to use a ceramic pot to cook the medicine. This unit is much easier to cook. You plug and let it do its job. The ceramic pot is easier to clean and costs $5.99. This unit you cannot put into a dishwasher due to electronic components being part of the unit. One time I was rinsing the unit trying to clean it and the water got onto the base and the unit stop working for 24 hours ... until it was dry again. Normally this does not happen if you clean it carefully.
This unit works by cooking the medicine until the water level drops to a certain point. Then it switches to warm mode. This often takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the medicine I cook. However the herbalist whom I get my medicine from says to cook it only for 30 minutes after it boils and not to exceed 40 minutes. Well since he is an OMD, and a former professor of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I'll take his word for it. I have to use kitchen timer and then un-plug this unit after 45 minutes (15 minutes before it boils + 30 minutes of boil).

Sunpentown SC-10 22-Pound Rice Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this rice dispenser because I go through a lot of rice...obviously. About a 20 lb. bag a month on average. Which, if you're Asian, is enough to feed one person. My mother has something similar in her household, but it holds 50 lbs.
So if you're a family of semi-casual rice eaters or a regular rice eater in a household of one, this might be the perfect sized dispenser for you to ensure you have an easy way of dispensing rice without letting it sit so long it becomes stale.
The plastic box is fairly sturdy and is of a slim enough design that I've been able to tuck it away in a small corner. While the openings aren't triple sealed...it's been enough to deter household critters since I haven't noticed anything unsavory in my rice in the year that I've owned this dispenser. The top is easy to load, the see through window lets you know when it's time to refill, and the 22 lbs capacity allows you to refill with a 20 lb. bag (which most rice can be found in) without totally running out.
The dispenser dispenses a perfect cup, but it's perfect by rice cooker standards. I've found that a push of this dispenser releases just enough rice to fill a "standard" rice cup found in most Asian rice cookers...which just happen to be smaller than the typical American one cup serving size. Great for me since I have a Zojurishi rice cooker and don't feel like fiddling with the measuring cup that came with the cooker, but maybe not great for those who are expecting your typical amount.

Buying rice in bulk means less trips to the grocery store and savings on the bill; however, storing large quantities of rice at home can sometimes get a little tricky. A better alternative to the unshapely, non-resealable bags from the market, this thoughtfully designed rice dispenser not only keeps dry rice dry and fresh, but it also keeps out insects and pests. The rice dispenser holds up to 22 pounds of rice, yet its compact shape stores neatly away in most kitchen cabinets. When it's time to cook up some rice, simply press the lever--one press accurately dispenses 1 cup of rice. The rice funnels smoothly into the bin below, which pulls out easily for convenient transport to the rice cooker or stove. The rice dispenser measures 16-1/2 by 7 by 17-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
