Korean Bapsang and Rice Cooker Giveaway

In celebration of my new blog home - Korean Bapsang (formerly Eating and Living), I am giving away this wonderful rice cooker! As I explained in my last post, Bapsang (밥상) means a table at which meals are enjoyed. The word bapsang is made up of two words bap (cooked rice) and sang (table). From this, you can tell how important rice is in Korean cuisine. You'll almost always find rice on the Korean table. For this reason, every Korean household owns an electronic rice cooker or two for everyday use. So, I thought a rice cooker would be a perfect giveaway for the occasion!

If you already own a rice cooker, this will be a nice gift to a special person in your life. I gave this rice cooker to my niece for her birthday last year, and she loved it. She said it makes delicious rice very quickly and is easy to disassemble and clean. There are multiple functions that are easy to use, such as cooking brown rice or porridge.

This giveaway is NOT sponsored by Cuckoo or anyone else. It's a token of my heartfelt thanks to my readers and supporters. Cuckoo is the top-selling brand of rice cookers in Korea. This 3-cup capacity cooker is perfect for a single person or a small family. The rice cooker was $110 at a local Korean market.

So, here's your chance to own a Korean-style rice cooker!
