Home appliances: bread cooker popular

Sitting around the house feeling miserable about the earthquake, tsunami and radiation leaks is not very productive, so I’ll try to get back into the swing of things with a survey from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, into home appliances, their eighth in a regular series of such surveys.
Demographics
Between the 22nd and 25th of February 2011 1,066 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.7% of the sample were male, 16.0% in their teens, 18.4% in their twenties, 21.7% in their thirties, 16.3% in their forties, 15.7% in their fifties, and 11.9% aged sixty or older.
The question about a home bakery refers in part to the famous hit product from last year, Sanyo’s SPM-RB1000, or the GOPAN, a bread maker that uses rice, and will even mill the rice into flour before starting cooking. Panasonic’s range of conventional bread makers are supposed to be pretty good too.
Also note that I translated the third in the series last January and the seventh last November.

A home bakery unit that allows you to make bread from rice sounds heavenly. When is that making it’s way to the United States. With the number of cottage laws popping up allow home-based baking I am certain there are home bakers who would love to make this bread and share with their friends, family and their community members even selling at the local Farmers Markets. Where can I learn more about this unit???
