Modern Kitchen Basics; Monday, First Period [02/10].
Ignis had found himself having a much more difficult time extracting himself from his bed and Liliana's embrace that morning, which he had mostly just chalked up to some sort of residual leisure leftover from their little holiday. And he was almost entirely tempted to give into that urge, but his penchant for punctuality prevailed, and he was in the classroom as expected, just not quite as early as he would have normally have been to set things up.
But he was still, it should be noted, on time.
"Today," he said, with the usual gesture toward the kitchen appliances du jour, "we will be talking about rice cookers, a staple of convenience and ease for the preparation of one of the most common and versatile grains available in many pantries throughout the world. Their ease and simplicity allows one to take at least one element out of preparation by simply measuring out your rice and your water, salting and seasoning to taste, setting it, and then forgetting it, especially since most variations will involve a feature to turn off when done and keep the rice warm until you return to it.
"Naturally, we will be learning how to use our rice cookers for simply making rice, but you can also do more and use the device to cook a whole meal if you'd like, as well. So after we hash out the basics, we'll also be trying a simple fried rice recipe that can be made with the rice cooker, and then I'll show you how you can actually use a rice cooker to steam vegetables.
"I also enjoy a good steamed bun in a rice cooker, which is a bit more involved," he added, with a bit of a smile, "but these will be good places to start."

It went surprisingly well, actually, given that she was laser-focused on it.
