A Revelation of a Button

On the previous post, I mentioned the steam cook function and how I believed that it was a function that kept the rice cooker cooking without automatically jumping to the warm mode. Well, if that's true, THEN I BELIEVE I CAN MAKE JA-PAN (puns and more puns, 'pan' is bread in Japanese) #2! With this video:

Yep. And by the way, that rice cooker you see in that video is a Zojirushi. What? You want to know what Yakitate!! Japan is about? Well, from what I remember, it's about this young boy with abnormally warm hands. And in the baking world, it is a special to have such an ability (warm hands equal 'solar hands'). Why? Because yeast thrives in warm environments, yeast is found in breads, and therefore bread rises faster and at a better quality as a result of these hands. :O And if you're wondering why the pair of hands in the video "glow" momentarily, it's the solar hands kicking into action.

What? It's in Japanese? Yes. Can't understand? Read the subtitles. <.< Fine. No? Here:
