Rice waste

For people who don't have much cooking experince, It is quite commom to have leftovers like rice, causing certain amount of food being wasted. I determined my mind to find a way avoiding such problem from happeing.

"Kinda hungry, I just gonna have some rice for dinner"

"Measuring the amount of rice is so annoying, I cannot always choose the suitable portion"

"Fine~ 20mins, I will just wait for that."

"Yammy! The rice is so good."

"Ah...I am pretty full already, but there is still some rice left."

"I don't really wanna waste it, but I hate overnight rice."

There could be rice waste caused by excessive cooking portion

Lid as the measurer

Inspired by the way most people are using for determing the proper portion of rice, a functional part is embeded into the package to help people." (Shown as the image on the right, people normally use a cup (any kind of ware could be possible) to roughly measure the portion of rice for serving.)
