Happy new year 2015. Even the author, who hasn't gone out even a step since New Year's Eve, is rushing to eat New Year's osechi and alcohol only in his stomach.

And the food that is indispensable for the New Year is "mochi". So, this time, I would like to introduce the rice cake cooking goods "Mochi Range" that were purchased at the 100-yen shop "Can Do" at the end of the year.

This product is a cooking product that you can enjoy a texture that is close to "freshly made" just by heating it in a microwave oven with water. You can enjoy 100% soft mochi, which is different from baking.

I will try using a commercially available cut rice cake. By the way, it can be used for both corner and round rice cakes.

The main body is divided into a container and a colander-shaped hot water drain lid. Put one toy in a container, add water up to the guideline on the side, and heat in a microwave set at 500W for 1 minute.

Take it out, attach a hot water drain lid, and discard the hot water from the hot water drain on the side. At the end, turn the whole over and drain it well. The mochi I took out is soft and fluffy, and I definitely want to get it!

If you cut it into a suitable size and heat it in advance, it will be easy for children and the elderly to eat.

By the way, this New Year's pick was also purchased at CAN DO. The Japanese-style decoration is cute, and it is perfect for places where people gather.

The mochi range is a scary item in a sense that you can produce soft mochi one after another without thinking about it because the amount of water to put in, the heating time, and how to make it are all written on the container. Please be careful about getting fat on New Year's Day! The price is, of course, 108 yen (tax included).

I look forward to working with you again this year.
