It's finally another week this year. Are you ready for the rice cakes for the long-awaited New Year?

I don't like the texture of baked mochi so much, so I tried to get the item from the 100-yen shop "Daiso" in search of the softness of "freshly made" as much as possible.


This is a cooking utensil "mochi tray" exclusively for microwave ovens. It seems to be a popular item at this time because it was out of stock at multiple stores.

The surface is embossed with numerous holes and protrusions, and the cutted rice cake that has been dipped in water is placed on it and heated. When I stared at it, it swelled up like a balloon, and another soft rice cake was completed.




If you pick it up immediately after heating, it will come off and the tray will be easy to clean. If the heating time is not enough, the surface will remain hard, and if it is heated too much, it will burn, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on it.




In addition, it can be used for frozen foods such as takoyaki and grilled rice balls. If you don't have one mochi item you want for the new year, please do!
