/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Im interested, keep posting.

Nothing wrong with running most 100V electronics on 120V. Casual Google turns up audio forums with guys asking about Japanese stereos, amplifiers, etc.
The exception is appliances with heating elements in them. Like rice cookers. The element is going to get 20% hotter than it should by design. The results are going to be either really okay, or really bad, but I figure you wouldn't be using a $100 rice cooker if you knew there was a reasonable chance it might melt and catch fire.

no. i did that by mistake (forgetting that the ac was 120v) and it fried itself (i.e. smoke).

>>13529367
>>13529403
So OP would be making fried rice.

So far, so good.

It's actually a ~$300 rice cooker.

21092 Japanese Yen (amazon.co.jp) equals 174.5175 US Dollar

>>13529429

HONTOU DAA

KIMOIII

Still going. Heard what sounded like a solenoid firing, still appears to be going

Curry and tonkatsu on standby. I cheated and bought the tonkatsu at Nijiya Market, theirs tastes better anyway.

>>13529532
Just make your own Tonkatsu it takes a few minutes

>>13529532

Where is Nijiya market?

>>13529544

Japantown

>>13529544
In Nijiya

Wrong board faggot

Well I can't get the page to load anymore for some reason. But the rice turned out PERFECT. Better than perfect. This is the first time I've ever been able to eat rice plain, and enjoy it. You've never tried rice until you've tried it from a Japanese rice cooker. Best curry EVER.

>>13529614

That looks fucking kimoi, dude.

>>13529614
looks like diarrhea

It might work but you should probably get an adapter anyway, just to be safe. Better safe than sorry.

Holy god damn fuck off you fucking retards.

I bought my mom one of those Panasonic Nano-e hairdryers when I was in Japan. I told her to get a converter because it's going to receive 20 v more than it's supposed to, but she never did. Is she going to die?

>>13529674

Whoa, dude, like, chillax, bro.

i bought a nice rice cooker but it doesn't make very good rice and i don't know what i'm doing wrong

>>13529697
Nobody used the surprise box though, please find a more appropriate image next time you post, kudasai.

>>13529743
rice always tastes like crap dude.

>>13529754

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............

Nah.

Could you please give me a Japanese curry recipe, or did you buy it?

>>13529808
Why not just make something better like yakisoba, or tonkatsu, or even chicken karaage instead?

Jap curry is utter shit.

Reported, fuck off to wherever you came from.

Sounding a little weebish there.

>>13529886
This whole thread reeks of fucking weebs, you troglodyte.

Go and learn to cook your own traditional country food instead of this shit.

And if your country has lousy gastronomy than it just fucking sucks.

It just fucking sucks.

>>13529757
you've gotta put peanut butter on it

>>13529614

What rice did you use?

Stop trying so hard you cunts.
We all know that everyone here has a massive hardon for anything Japanese so accept it.
You aren't getting /jp/ cred for being an edgy fuck.

>>13529367
So wait, is this a pressurized rice cooker? These are a thing?

Tell me your secrets OP.

>>13529367
It's gonna be ok, in the house there's 2 Jap rice cookers and been working fine for a couple of years.

>>13529898
o_o

They're usually built well enough to not fry themselves, but the voltage is part of the fuzzy logic calculation iirc. It'll work but you don't really get the optimal result.

So I guess it doesn't matter much with lower end ones, but doing this to a high end unit is a huge waste of money unless you just -really- want the buttons to be in Japanese rather than English.

That's an expensive rice cooker, I wouldn't risk it. Most things switch over US - JP, but be careful. You can get a converter for cheap on Amazon. Just get it.
Why not just get the US model?
