Anybody working with high pressure to steam sushi rice? Is there an appliance or a system used in Japanese restaurants to create a high pressure steaming environment for rice?
I have always used conventional gas cookers in restaurants. 55 cup Rinnai/Rice Master is the standard I have seen. Recently I have been limited to electric units and they are simply inferior. I am looking for an even better (if possible) solution than the standard huge gas cooker. I understand there may be another, possibly better method.
Small batches would not be a problem in my case. I seem to remember seeing arrangements with bamboo Edobitsu looking containers, stacked and layered with wet towels (to seal) and weight (to increase pressure). Anyone familiar with such a setup?
