Easy to multitask in smaller kitchens 🙂
Hello everyone! Sharing with you one of my kitchen hacks to save time and electricity in the kitchen. Whenever I cook rice (which is always everyday), I utilize the steamer basket attachment of my rice cooker to reheat or steam some other food items.
For instance I reheat my frozen suman (rice cake). Since suman packs come in 10 usually, and we cannot finish it all in one day, I freeze the suman and reheat it as needed.
Cooking and reheating
I also steam eggs in silicone cups so that it will come out as boiled. We need boiled eggs in our house all the time — as snack, school baon, sandwich filling, or salad ingredient.
The next food item that I usually steam are potato chunks, which keeps for like three days in the ref and is perfect for several side dishes and viands. These includes omelet, potato salad, mashed potato, and miso butter potato chunks. The good news about all these? All food items can be steamed at the same time. Just make sure that they are in separate dishes or tightly wrapped in aluminum foil.
After the 30-minute cooking time of our rice, the suman, the eggs, and potatoes will be perfectly heated or cooked through!

Food for the soul
At this point I hope you can allow me to share with you another bible passage that continues to inspire me. This time it is from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians:
“Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; it is not arrogant.”
1 Corinthians 13:4
