[@evanhoge2065]

To the rice cooker question: 100% use a rice cooker at least once a week if not more. Hands down my most used single use kitchen gadget.

[@mangkokmie]

Also you can use regular rice cooker for stuff other than plain white rice 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@hawaiipommom.1306]

💯% same here. I live in Hawaii where sticky rice is a staple for us. Could not imagine not having my rice cooker.

[@thelifewithbee]

Same

[@gissneric]

Rice cookers are not just for rice. I make soups there and you can cook pasta there too

[@jiggles7621]

Sameee

[@snuffelbuf]

I have a rice cooker and can't live without it!!!

[@tarapedroza]

Same! I always screw up rice without it 😂

[@BlingyBea]

Same

[@blondebytheriver]

The moment Tyler said he almost when to culinary school everything just clicked!

[@Nicolee1973]

I love how much Tyler loves his shorts! And also how he wants things, like the hiking poles , even though he will never use them. That is me😂

[@josephinecrouch5489]

hi guys! are we ever going to see WATCHING THE GRASS AND GARDEN GROW again? love watching you guys. one of the highlights of my day.

[@emilyvasilakes3805]

😂 for reals, that was one of my most replayed segments because I just found it so hilarious! 🤣

[@shelbyemily7385]

Yes!!! Let’s petition for more summer vlogs from the Brauns this summer!! 😅☀️🌻🌷🪻🌹

[@gisellejose]

I'm Asian and I can't imagine not having a rice cooker! It can also be used to make porridge or steam dumplings! Recently I've also been trying "rice cooker recipes" where you dump all the ingredients in (sauce, meat, veg) with the rice and they all cook together :)

[@hersheyatticus816]

Agree! Asian girl here too 😊

[@kimwieczorek1879]

Isnt rice a carb? Dr. said to not eat anything white- rice, pasta, gravy, bread, mayo...

[@somewherenorth4092]

​@@kimwieczorek1879sounds like it's time for a new doctor...

[@barbalborano8441]

I’m not Asian and couldn’t imagine not having a rice cooker lol. I cook all my grains in it.

[@daniellengarcia]

Hispanic girl here and I can't imagine not having one either!

[@chiknlittle]

I love Tyler pushing the limits of HOA rules 😂

[@amycooper639]

Who doesn’t love root beer?….ME! I cannot stand even the smell of it. 😬

[@audanne37]

Jess’s face when Tyler first started singing the theme song 😂😂

[@Rach_lphillips]

I am Chinese American and a rice cooker (only) is a must in my house. Doing it any other way feels like a crime 😂

[@reilife121]

When a basket doesn't have a cup holder I use the kid's seatbelt to strap my drink in like a baby, because it too is precious cargo :)

[@annabeltemple230]

Strange side-note: Every time you talk about going on a family trip, I get flashbacks of the Little Einsteins theme song in my head ( fond memories from when my daughter was a baby-she's almost 19, now!). I always enjoy your Costco visits, too. My first day here in the US, I purchased a 5 lb bag of Gummy Bears at Costco. Followed up by a burger and fries at Applebees. I also own and use a rice cooker, regularly.

[@babydev1989]

I’m a rice lover and I was anti-rice cooker. As a Latina I was raised to cook it on the stove, doing it any other way felt like cheating to me. lol My husband got me a rice cooker last year and it changed my life!!!! Sorry to disappoint mom… I’ve been converted 🤣🤣🤣

[@erinshima3954]

Every household in Hawaii has a rice cooker! It’s the only way - wash the rice, press the button, and go. So easy, and one of the most used kitchen gadget for sure! Get a Tiger rice cooker if you’re gonna get one!

[@nikiseubert]

I have this Japanese rice cooker and it’s only for rice and it’s amazing. I only cook rice using that and not on the stove anymore

[@soozempen814]

Tyler's "Airplane" reference at 7:43 was not lost on me. 🤣

[@lynniepie52]

You guys are like kids at Christmas with the Sears Catalog!!!!

[@christinaholl5969]

Rice cookers are a staple in my Asian household! Before dating me my husband had never even heard of one 😂

[@kelseyweiss1669]

Tyler talking about his shorts is exactly how I talk about my scrub pants 😂

[@michelleliucee]

The Doug/Quailman reference made me laugh out loud because it was so accurate. 😅

[@catherinethompson5477]

Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming 'round, turn around bright eyesss 🎶🎶🎶

[@jordanbordelon1301]

I’ve never in my life cooked rice on the stove. I always had a cheap rice cooker but two Christmases ago we got a super nice rice cooker and i use that bad boy at least three times a week 😝

[@tpowell7159]

Name brand? Thanks!

[@veronicadenisec]

Hey, can you post your interview on the news for us?

[@soothingkitty75]

Yup I had a rice cooker that was almost 22 years old when it died and I got a new one a couple of months later because I use it all the time. Multicookers are still only good for cooking 1 thing at a time so when I want curry and rice I use the multi cooker for the curry and the rice cooker for the rice.

[@amandatornes6638]

The splash pad is amazing and so easy to use. I bought a bunch last year for people and bought a back up last year and another this year 😂. You can’t beat $20 and the kids have a blast. If you add a kids slide to it it’s even more fun!

[@kiraku_ni]

Oh I love grocery hauls from other countries! I just moved to Japan and love strolling around the supermarket too and finding new stuff 😊
I think grocery shopping in different countries gives great insight into what the country’s culture is like!

[@judieloveday1643]

I wish Costco in Australia had the same sorts of products you get in the US. Our range is a lot smaller. Mind you, we're lucky to checkout under $200!

[@molly4495]

Yes, I love my Zojirushi rice cooker. It has different settings for different types of rice. I will never go back to class cooking it on the stove.

[@lialongtime1156]

I just got my first Costco card ever!! I’m a grown up. As I’m unloading my groceries I saw this pop up and I knew it was the right decision 😌

[@rebeccavaclav6478]

Loved those individual chicken packs just as protein snack. Lifesaver when I had gestational diabetes. I live in milwauke...home of sprecher!!! Love their cherry cola, my husband loves their root beer and cream soda.

[@Pamela-B]

I picked up a microwave rice cooker (I think the brand is Joseph) and we love it. It’s small and all components are 100% dishwasher safe. It took a couple runs to get the right power level and times right since all microwaves wattage vary. We use it often. 🍚😊 And that root beer is pretty dang good. My husband loves it.

[@rebeccarowan4538]

I love going to Costco with y’all! I’ve said before, I can’t have A membership there, it would be A financial nightmare for me! 😁While I’m walking around with you I’m like, “ I want that and that and that…..😂 Thanks for allowing me to live vicariously thru you! 💕💕

[@alliemay6076]

Same 😂 I can’t justify it! I also don’t have enough room to be buying so many snacks in bulk. But that’s what always intrigues me about Costco

[@parkerellis2010]

I have a zojirushi rice cooker that only does rice. I only use it a handful of time per year but that’s because we only eat rice that many times. Cooks rice better than any other option. Easy to clean, I wouldn’t declutter mine because it’s so convenient. If you have room for it or eat rice regularly, it is a great item to have!

[@nicolesmith525]

We have a rice cooker! My husband is a huge cooking nerd and swears that it is different than a multi-use appliance. We use it all the time.

[@ssaabbrriinnaa]

I 100% use my rice cooker multiple times per week! It still has a place in our home even though our InstantPot can cook rice or we can cook it on the stove, I prefer to have my rice cooker then I can steam vegetables at the same time. I also often use both the InstantPot and rice cooker at the same time. The Reduce cups are the best. My kids are 6 and 3.5 and they work fantastic. I just wish they had replaceable straws!

[@peg516]

Coming back to say the that’s it bars and bobo’s oat bites are way good! Our daughter just younger than felicity loves them both! Sprecher root beer is amazing! If you want to try it in a smaller quantity, Menards has tons of their flavors in a smaller package.

[@laurenfreshour1554]

I use my rice cooker EVERY week. Sometimes multiple times. I LOVE it. Could not live without it. Totally worth it.

[@sydnowlan3500]

That sprechers root beer is the best root beer ever!!!

[@kaylap5553]

I love my rice cooker. It’s tiny but mighty and makes the rice perfectly

[@shelbyrose5407]

I LOVE MY RICE COOKER it doesn’t take up a lot of room and cooks it perfectly every time. i use it probably 2-3 times a week for a couple years now.

[@savlewis]

Hahaha yes I absolutely have a rice cooker. I grew up with a lot of Filipinos who had rice every day, and it inspired me to get my own rice cooker! Love it so much🫶🏼

[@MAllen67]

Justification for trekking poles: purchase as winter emergency equipment to store in your car. My pair saved me during an ice event. And - you have them if you decide to hike.

[@jocbaker]

Get the hiking poles! You will use them on hikes, especially any downhill steps. Saves on the knees

[@emmamomma9271]

I’ve been stalking my Costco’s to bring back the nonna pias balsamic glaze and wanna grab it thru my phone! So good!

[@bridgetparedes]

That frozen veggie blend you guys picked up is our favorite! We keep a bag or two in the freezer at all times, and when we need a quick dinner we stir-fry it with shrimp, coconut aminos, and red pepper flakes. SO good!

[@karenprinz5987]

Rice cooker family. My husband is Asian so rice is a staple in this house lol

[@jayleenrossi3936]

We used to use our Instant Pot to make rice but someone gifted us a rice cooker so we gave it a try and we love it! However, if someone hadn't gifted it to us I dont think we would have bought one because our IP was good enough.

[@EmilyDesmond]

If you need a Costco theme song say the word.. I already have ideas 😂😂😂

[@gretchen8031]

Tyler, I laughed in sympathy when you couldn't stop hearing "Total Eclipse of the Heart". I then sighed "Oh no" because now I hear it too and it's on repeat. I ask the Big A to play it and I sing it at the top of my lungs to be rid of it. I do believe the world is divided into people have a music brain people who do not. One does not understand the other.

[@mmmstitch]

I just did the same thing! Turn around, bright eyes!

[@tara5742]

“Every now and then I fall apart!” 😂 Dang it

[@tarapedroza]

Dude now it's in MY head too...why Tyler?🤣

[@cassiannearnold6540]

Hey that’s my Costco! Listen, I know I’m a complete stranger on the internet but I think we should be best friends! 😅 ~ Disney and Costco obsessed mom.

[@blanca6343]

You guys are too funny. Tyler, you had me laughing out loud with your shorts. I love you guys, my daughter laughs at me cause I talk about you Jess as if we were friends and I'm 48 lol

[@drumsknowall]

We got that same splash pad last year at Costco and even my 10 year old loved it! Good choice! I now I have to add the shorts to my list for next week!

[@LivinginNoDak]

My bf has equal passion for those Costco shorts.

[@aliciavelice3806]

Tyler your geekiness is so fun and endearing :) please never change.

[@aliciaadrianne]

I say this with the utmost love & respect for you guys! I noticed the Evenflo seat in the back was not in a locked position. Even if there's not a child in it, it needs to be either locked forward or rear facing. I myself didn't know this til about a week ago.❤

[@emilydumont2869]

Yes, you DO need the giant squishmallow! Lol

[@cfazande]

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use a rice cooker. But I’m Asian. That may be the reason. We have gone through three since I’ve been married. My husband will cook rice in the pot if we really have to.

[@tina_smt]

I got the same capris for Christmas 😂. They are super comfy!😊 Also, every Asian household will have a stand alone rice cooker 😊

[@AlexBobalexRavenclaw]

Ohhh the Sprecher! It’s $6/bottle at a local spot where I’m at, 24 for $20 is a steal!

[@valkh83]

Hey new to your channel here. I’m addicted to Costco love this! And that desk lamp took me out!! Lmao😂😅🤣

[@hannahrivas8604]

Did Tyler just Ellen DeGeneres sneaker try on those shorts? 😂 I love these two.

[@itsALLmusicTOmee]

The “Airplane” reference! Yes!

[@Mrsrbruce]

I totally missed it. What did he say?

[@itsALLmusicTOmee]

@@Mrsrbruce at 7:45! "You can make a hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl"

[@Mrsrbruce]

@@itsALLmusicTOmee thank you so much! I’m impressed you know how to spell pterodactyl ☺️

[@WillowAcosta]

My son he was watching the vlog with me n he saw the part of the kids couch n the water pool saying wow n how he want it lol 😂

[@sarahjo6807]

The Bobo peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are my favorite!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

"what's it called?" "It's called 'It's Jessica Braun!' lol

[@sabouhashwikie8668]

I’m surprised Jessica isn’t boycotting Starbucks !!!!!!!!!

[@kikomartin-pr]

Yes we have a rice cooker. My son loves to use it.

[@natalielamonte4968]

They sell all the Sprechers sodas at Menards if you want to try a 4 pack. They’re all delicious.

[@gracegodley8367]

Rice cooker for the win. The zojirushi is BOMB

[@amya5878]

Re: allergy meds. I take a Claritin every day 365. Helps immensely. Been doing it a few years now.

[@rebeccavaclav6478]

Had a rice cooker but got rid of it before our baby came a few years ago. Loved that it had vegetable steamer tray but stopped eating rice years ago. We just didn't have the space and hadn't used it in years.

[@sharonsnider9452]

Rice cookers are amazing you don’t have to think about it and can be cooking their things. Rice turns out perfect and fluffy and non stick pot and easy to clean

[@patriciarundborg2879]

Rice cooker you can make.rice pudding so good

[@ayricahzuccato8499]

I don't know why....but I love going to Costco with you guys!

[@BeckyReynolds]

Rana is available in Italy but it's quite expensive compared to supermarket own brand which is probably more popular but still very good stuff!

[@lisagerson7735]

I can’t live without my rice cooker! Mine is a small one and rice turns out perfect every time!

[@tessaknoblauch4498]

Yep, I have a rice cooker. I bought like 15 years ago, and we still use it fairly often. It wasn't an expensive one either, and works really well.

[@laurenjamieson7310]

I love my rice cooker! It’s honestly my most prized kitchen appliance, seriously can never go back to cooking rice on the stove. (They also make for wonderful secret Santa gifts!)

[@user-sl7nk7vw2y]

Love my rice cooker and instead of water I use broth. You can do all grains in it too.

[@edlinbennett7649]

Yup, we 100% use our rice cooker. It’s a single use machine (ours is a smaller one) but worth it. We use it for both quinoa and rice.

[@andrearivera9570]

You GOTTA get a rice cooker. One of my most used appliances since Christmas (it was a Christmas gift). Highly recommend 👌🏽

[@monicasalinas5270]

We have a Japanese rice cooker that is just for rice and it’s amazing! Use it multiple times a week. Rice comes out so perfect each time. We are a big rice household.

[@nailamohamed5475]

My son is doing his residency in Winnipeg and I bought him a small rice cooker. I think that was a good decision as while the rice is cooking, he puts veggies on top and they get steamed. Also, my sister-in-law is Malaysian and in almost every house in Malaysia you will find a rice cooker. It's that common there.

[@AllyPetersonRN]

We got the ATK recommended rice cooker (pricy 🤑 even for the best buy) and I thought that it would be a total waste, but oh man we love it! We use all the time and cook rice waaaay more than we did before. It comes out perfect and fluffy every time 🤗

[@melslatt]

The deep contemplation over the root beer is totally a conservation my husband and I would have! "There's gotta be a reason that he got so many! We should probably buy some too..."

[@askashleybogard4394]

Rice cookers for the win!!! Perfect every time. I use a smaller one like 6 cups. You won’t go back!

[@AmandaRam]

I've opted out of sprinker type summer toys as I don't think a child at a young age would appreciate it lol..do they play in the water at a local splash pad? I guess that's the question. My young kids don't. They don't appreciate the cold, spraying water. Whereas with a pool, you fill it up in the morning and let the sun warm it up a bit..the temperature ends up being perfect and they won't want to get out. My two cents! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@00clgordon]

Noblesville!! That’s my Costco. So glad to skip Castleton now. We are spoiled having it so close.

[@lovetherain227]

I’m Asian American and I have a rice cooker and it lives on my counter at all times and never gets put away! I can also make brown rice and quinoa in it which is great and I don’t have to monitor it on the stove

[@bevjohnson1004]

I have a rice cooker. I use it all the time, especially when I make Asian meals. It makes perfect rice every time.

[@shannonp1899]

I have a rice cooker but it's a mini insta pot and does rice, oatmeal, quinoa etc... Use it all the time.

[@kathleensztropkalyi7547]

I love watching ur Costco hauls 😊

[@ladybird242]

We have a dedicated rice cooker that gets used 2-4 times a month. I haven't used or tried anything else that gets the texture so perfect. I have a strooong itch now to go to Costco. Haven't been in a couple months.

[@chloesisson2394]

My mom got me a rice cooker sophomore year of college…5 years later I still have it and use it at least twice a week! So easy and perfect rice every time. I hate having tons of kitchen appliances but the rice cooker lives on 😂

[@beckymittelstadt2084]

We have a rice cooker going every other day and we absolutely love it. We are actually on our second one. It's fantastic for meal prepping lunches. Also that's Costco is so empty!!!! Being in a empty Costco is my dream 😍

[@KaliP13]

I need more Costco vlogs!

[@talenamanley1742]

Every time I rice - I use a rice cooker 😅 I can’t swing the finger stovetop trick

[@wendyschnapa7582]

As I am Asian, a rice cooker is a must. I use it at least four times a week.

[@adrialmartin]

We got given a pretty pricey rice cooker as a wedding gift (brand is Zojirushi) and we were sure it would never get used. Well we LOVE that thing and use it at least once or twice a week. 5 years later, if it were to die, we wouldn’t hesitate to buy a replacement at full price.

[@laurenschoellkopf]

We have a zojirushi too. It’s my husband’s 2nd favorite kitchen gadget. It gets bonus points for the little song that plays when your rice is done 😂

[@feagleyme]

On our way to Evansville’s Costco. Husband must have the SHORTS!!
