Category: Where to Buy

One of the kitchen appliances that I have found the most beneficial has been my rice cooker. Coming from a Hispanic background, rice is included with almost all of our dishes. From as far back as I can remember my mom has included rice in all of our family meals. The reason why I love using the rice cooker is because of its convenience. I can add all of the ingredients, set it and not come back till the rice is done cooking. I don’t have to stand there mixing the rice or keeping an eye on it to make sure that it doesn’t burn. This gives me the time to focus on the other things I will be including in my meal that night. The rice has the same great taste as if you made it on the stove. Another big plus is that the rice cooks in less time than it would on the stove. So if you’re in a time crunch to get dinner on the table or you want prepare something quickly to eat then the rice cooker will come in handy.

There are many rice cookers out on the market. There are some that make large quantities of rice and there are some that just make a few cups of rice. When searching in the stores or looking on line you will have to make sure to read how many cups can be made with the rice cooker. There are many places where you could purchase the rice cookers. Some of them are Target, Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond,  JCPenny, and Macy’s.  Each store has them for different price so you would have to do some research to see which store has the rice cooker that fall within your price range.  For me the rice cooker has been a great investment and I would recommend it for anyone who loves to eat a lot of rice and wants the ease and convenience to make it.

When we hear the name Burlington we think of clothes, shoes, coats, and accessories. But who would have thought that it would be a hidden gem when it comes to cookware.  This was a major shock to me when I found out that you could also purchase stuff for your kitchen there as well.. I had been to many places searching for some non-stick pans. I had found some in other department stores but they were out of my price range. Then one day on a shopping trip to Burlington I stumbled upon their cookware and cooking utensil section. I felt as if I had hit the jackpot because I had been searching for the pans for a very long time. They had a good selection of things as well as good prices that were in budget for me.  As I looked through the shelves of items I found what I had been looking for. I had found some non-stick pans, that were the sizes I wanted, and thankfully within my price range. I have had the pans for a little over 3 months and they have worked very well.  They may not have as wide a selection as other department stores but it’s a good place to search for cookware when you’re on a budget.
