Look what this thing is doing. Where was the steam coming out from on the old one? I'm starting to cook.

(surprised) Hi, guys! Hello, everyone! Today, we have something to show you. Something very special.

It's from Korea. Are you ready? Thankfully, Cuckoo sent us this amazing rice cooker. Look at that!

It's so beautiful! Actually, we already have a rice cooker. This one. Look at this. This is Chinese.

Daeho took it from his share house before. We guessed there was a Chinese sharemate before Daeho.

And he left it in the house. And you asked the landlord if you could take it. Anyway, no one uses it.

And then we've been using this for 3 or 4 years. Yeah, 4 years I think.

Oh my god, how could I use this? When we cook for 2 people, it's okay.

But when we cook for four people, for my parents too, the rice becomes too hard. You can't really eat it.

It's really light. I think it's already ruined a little bit. And here, look. Disgusting?

Yeah, you can't really... ...take it off. You can't take it off and wash it. There's no way you can take it off.

But! When we went to Korea, we went to Daeho's mom's house. And she made the most delicious rice I ever had.

It was so sticky! It was so soft! Ah, it was just amazing! It's so different, right?

It's so different from what we do. When we cook with this one, all the rice just (rice)

falls down. But when I eat your mom's rice, it's like... I don't know... cream!

It's sticky, right? It's sticky. It never falls down from the spoon. Do you know why it's so different?

Why? Because this is a pressure cooker. So it's like a pressure pot? Yeah, like a pressure pot.

Look at that! It has this thing to let the steam out. The steam comes out, okay? And then you open it.

Beautiful! Look at the difference! First of all, the color. The color is totally different. Look at the difference! Oh my god!

Look at how heavy it is! Oh, it's really heavy! And look at the difference between them. This is a giant...

I can see myself... This is induction heating and a pressure cooker. That's why it's so yummy.

The secret is the pressure cooker. And then this rice cooker has 5 different menus for multigrain.

Okay, this one doesn't have anything. Yeah, this one just cooks no matter what you put in. In Korea, there are so many kinds of rice.

Can you cook 10 different types of rice with this? So we came back from Korea, but we didn't show this to Micaela's parents.

Yeah, for two weeks. We hid it. Let's show them! I believe they are going to be so surprised about this.

Let's go! Open it! Wait! Open it! Just a second, there is... in the bag... there is a parrot inside!

How beautiful! It's a toy! It came from Korea. Is that the surprise? No!  The real surprise is coming. The very surprise!

Now here comes the very surprise, not the nice surprise. Wait a second. Do you need help? No, no, no, you just have to wait.

Charlie, go to help Miky! Oh my god, it is too heavy! What if I break the bag?

Here you are! You broke the paper bag! If your grandma was here... Why? Damn, she kept every paper bag she got!

When we opened her wardrobe, it was full of bags, so many bags and Christmas bags.

Yeah, what is coming out? Are you ready? The Easter egg? What is this big thing?

A rice cooker? Is that the rice cooker? Yes. Is it bigger inside? Yes. Ah yeah, you can see it's an oval shape. Yes, Dad, yes.

Take it. Damn it! This is really heavy. How do you open it? So, here? Here? No, no, from here.

Open it. Isn't this a button? No, that one is a display. It's a fake button.

Ah, it has handles to avoid burns. So, this is stainless steel. It seems to be the same size as the old one.

No, no, this one is for 6 people. And the other one? It is for a maximum of 4 people.

Let's put the other pot in here. It is stainless steel. It's sturdy. How beautiful! So, this one...

See, it has this thing here. It's a kind of rubber seal. Then you close it. Did you hear the sound?

And then, you close like this. And this piece goes down. And that one goes down. It's like a pressure cooker, and it cooks like a pressure cooker.

So if I turn it like this... It's like a pressure cooker. (How can I open it?)

Open it like this. You have to turn it all the way, and then it opens. So the rice becomes more yummy. Ah, you have to turn until it clicks like a handle.

Yeah, yeah. Ah, here it is, look. So you... There are two ways to cook the rice. (Amazed)

With a pressure cooker, the rice becomes more sticky. It is good when you eat it with meat.

On the other hand... That's detachable for cleaning, Dad. On the other hand, you can cook without...

Without pressure, the rice becomes harder and it's suitable for fried rice. Oh, that one I like! From now on, we can invite friends and eat all together.

Daeho doesn't have any more excuses! Exactly. Before, the rice cooker was too small. So this is good for making enough rice for Brunella.

If there are too many people, we can use the old one too. But the other one is not good. / Are they different?

If you try this one... Does this make the rice more yummy? You will never go back to the other one.

Ah, this one is A-class! This one is A-class, but the other one is D-class. Of course, that's old.

When you are done with cooking, put the water... And does it wash by itself? It washes by itself!

Ah, that's good! In 10 minutes, it washes by itself. The rice won't stick like the other one. / Good, what's this?

Here it is. You can clean here. It has double valves like a pressure cooker. Look, there is another one here.

The old one heats only from the bottom. That's why the rice sticks to the pot and sometimes it burns.

But this one heats from everywhere. Ah, all around! All here. It heats all around. Ah, I got it.

See? Ah, it closes like this. / Yeah, it closes. But does it also lock the handles of the inner pot?

It looks like it locks the handles too. No, it locks this only. It locks the stainless steel part only. / Ah, the iron part.

The handles stay outside. See? It locks only the pot. / But the air doesn't come out because it is all sealed.

I understood. The name is KUKEN. Cuchen is the best brand in Korea. You can cook only rice with it, right?

For example, can you boil meat with it? Yeah, you can boil meat. / With this?

Potatoes, vegetables... His mom put chestnuts in the rice, and the chestnuts got cooked too.

Rice with chestnuts? I've only tried rice with chestnuts once at a restaurant.

Then let's buy chestnuts so you can cook it. Yeah, let's make it. Let's buy chestnuts.

Yeah, we can cook chestnuts with the rice. The only difference is that they use different rice; multigrain...

A type of purple rice? Ah, many types together. Yes, 10 menus for 10 different types of rice. This is a rice cooker for every type of rice.

Maybe we can cook pasta too? No, Mom, of course you can't cook pasta with it! How can you cook pasta in a rice cooker?

Like a Bimby? This is not a Bimby. Well, if you cut the pasta as small as rice...

Did you mean stelline pasta? Penne, not the long ones, but the short ones.

At least we can try it. And then it will explode! The debate among Italians about cooking pasta in a rice cooker...

Oh, pasta has flour in it, but rice doesn't. Rice is a cereal.

Okay. You can cook emmer or barley. Maybe cooking pasta isn't good for this machine. You eat those.

It will burn and explode. Can you see? It has little dots. It's beautiful. Then let's put rice.

Let's try it. Yes, let's try it. And then tell me how it is. Yes, of course.

What if we don't like it? Should we return it? No, no, no, it's impossible.

Okay, come and see. So this is a Korean plug. It entered. Okay, I turned it on. What a fright!

I got scared! Now we get music even from the rice cooker! What a fright! Not only from the washing machine.

I soiled myself! And it talks? Does it play music too? Yeah, and it also talks, Dad.

The problem is that we don't understand what it says. I got so scared, Mom! I soiled my pants.

What should we do then? Menu? Sticky rice? Eh? Kinjinmente, what does it mean?

Can't you change the language? You can't change it. No, what should I select?

The first one, that's it. The first one. Power saving mode has started. It turned off... Power saving mode has been canceled.

So... it was a saving mode. It turns off automatically to save electricity. Did you understand? It's not like the other one, which is always turned on.

No, it's not always turned on like the other one. Look, look at this! It's like a pressure cooker.

Yes. It's the same. Yeah, the same. It makes the same noise like a pressure cooker. Now it's cleaning.

It's cleaning by itself. Okay, let's try it. So we're four, so four cups. It's pretty big.

Yeah, it's really big. We can use it for 6 people. Okay. So this is the Italian rice

for risotto. When we cleaned rice in Korea, it wasn't this dirty, look. The water wasn't this cloudy.

Mikey, it's not dirty. It's all good. Koreans use the rice water for so many things.

The first water is used for plants. The second water is used for cleaning wooden floors. The third water you can use for your hair and skin.

Also, you can use it for cooking. Cooking? When you make soup. Oh, I like this because it's so high.

With the other one, rice comes out when I clean it. Close it. Lock it. Menu. This one? Sticky rice, yeah.

Start, 27 minutes, okay. But you can do the fast mode too. Fast one? Yeah, 15 minutes.

I think you will use that in the night if you want rice. I prepared Bulgogi (marinated beef).

And I'm gonna cook soybean paste stew. Father came to inspect the lunch. Look what this thing is doing!

Where was the steam coming out from on the old one? I am starting to cook. It said it has 10 minutes left.

What happened, Flavio? Oh, mamma, it said 10 minutes left. But it speaks in Korean.

I can't understand it. Yeah, I know. Is there no Italian option? No. How can they sell this in Italy without including Italian?

They don't sell it in Italy. You can't find it in Italy, dad. It's exactly like that!

Like what? Korean minestrone. Minestrone? Yeah. (skip, skip) It's hot.

Oh, it's very salty. It's yummy, right? It's salty. That paste there made it salty.
