This morning I prepared lunch and dinner for my nearly 3yo baby in the hotel room. Last night I pre-soaked some rice and peanuts which I planed to cook peanut mushrooms pork porridge.

Close lid immediately and let it continue cooking in the food jar for at least 1-2 hours, rotate the food jar up and down once a while so that the hot temperature uniformity inside.
