Tiger America SMJB18UWLY 10-Cup Mochi Maker - Perfect for Homemade Mochi, Dango & Japanese Desserts | Ideal for Home Kitchens & Asian Cuisine Lovers

My Japanese Grandma had one of these from Japan when I was growing up. It is a Tiger and has been working for over 25 years. It's STILL working to this day, which is why I bought this Tiger Mochi Maker.I've gone through my first 10 lbs of rice in the first week making Mochi for Friends and Family. The machine is consistent, easy to use, easy to clean, and makes great Mochi. I've only used White Sweet Rice from California so I do not have experience with anything else. I've only made regular Mochi as well. I have not tried flavoring it*FOREWARNING* This machine LOVES to jump around during the rice "pounding". I've learned that I need to secure it with some heavy cookbooks around it. I've also placed it in my sink and in a cast iron skillet. Just make sure it doesn't jump off your counter!This Mochi Machine is easy to use and straight forward. Do some research and you'll find some tips and tricks and some neat recipes out there to try.
