rice bowl

Mention "rice bowl" and we are reminded of Kedah state being the main rice area for the country. This is a nick name.
Today, we live in an age where we use gadgets to help us do things fast and easy. The electric rice cooker is one the greatest inventions for Asians. Every household has got at least one unit.
The rice bowl in the cooker is normally made of aluminium material. As we wash the rice, the aluminium tends to be scraped off and get into the rice ...and later enter our bodies!! Are we aware of the effects of aluminium poisoning? According to the Institute of Health, USA, prolonged exposure to aluminium poisoning could be risky to our health, particularly to those suffering from renal or kidney problems.
We cook rice for our family everyday. Can we also protect our family from health disorders? Yes, we can. We can replace the aluminium rice bowl with stainless steel rice bowl. These are available from agents selling these products. Ask and you shall be shown.
