Rice Cooker Baking

so is it possible?

it says in the book, it is possible

seemed idiot proof to me

loaned from mum her antique mixer last week

but the mixer bowl dont seemed to turn when switch on

she said need to put in all ingredients

and with the weight, it WILL turned

ya ok, i said, but half believing her

my second doubt is my rice cooker

its a 2 buttons rice cooker :

"COOK" & "KEEP WARM"

completely idiot proof

can it really bake a cake?
what if the "COOK" jumped to "KEEP WARM"

before the cake is baked?

how ah?

with these doubts

i still went ahead to buy the ingredients

hoping to prove the author right or WRONG?!

Bloody H***, baking ingredients are so EXPENSIVE!

so i sms my baking 'shi-fu' lydia to complain

and her reply: Now you know

:"(

back in my kitchen

i 'styled' the baking utensils & ingredients

for a photo session

hmmm....

looking good

now for the REAL test

i burnt the first 30g of butter

yes, BURNT!

yellow butter becomes brown and grainy

it doesnt smell burnt

but it looked burnt

ok re-do, no sweat

after tips from my 'shi-fu'

ahhh....

melted butter should look golden & liquified

successful :"D

next is to put the antique mixer to the test

ingredients were poured into the mixer bowl

power on

erhhh....

the mixer bowl doesn't turn

sigh!

manual lor

the mixer is now hand held

no need to turn the bowl in motion

but the mixer

i need to move it around the bowl

thanks so much

for a fully automated device :"(

so all ingredients well mixed

sliced apples thrown in

smelling good

looking good

now reality test for the rice cooker

mixed ingredients poured in

power on

"COOK" button on at 3.15 pm

ok, now we wait

while i cleaned up the kitchen

the "COOK" button jumped

HUH?!

its only 3.17pm!

SH**!

the rice cooker test FAILED!

alamak, how ah?

relac, relac

the book says if this happened

it means your rice cooker is not suitable

the only way to save the cake

is to manually pressed "COOK" again

everytime it jumped

until the cake is competely baked

and so i did for at least 5 times

until the cake is baked

hmmm.........

why so ugly and "bubbly" huh?

and its flat

i think i bake a pizza

not a cake ^o^

at least it didn't taste that bad afterall!

conclusion:

yes, rice cooker baking IS POSSIBLE

not unless you invest in one

with IH functions (whatever that is)

or with function modes for cooking time

my 'shi fu' suggested

maybe i can try steaming it

the traditional way

like what my grandma used to do

when she steamed huat kuay & yam cake

use big wok, add water & steam it

ok, round 2 tmrw

the traditional way

''Ah Ma por pee wa seng gong"

(grandma, blessed me success)
