The lighting in these photos is fantastic! What's your secret?
Also, do you find the pressure cooker is worth it? Would owning one make a rice cooker redundant? It's long been on my "shiny things I might want one day" list, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger (and dedicate even more of our already perilously limited space to another cubic foot of plastic and metal).
I don't do anything special for lighting. For my food photos I use my Canon Powershot G7X and make adjustments in Photoshop.
I love my pressure cooker! I've had it for about 5 years now. I haven't used it to make rice, but it's great for stews, pot roasts, chili and soups. Mine is a NuWave which I use on my induction cooktop. I live in a motorhome so my space is limited too. This works out well for me. I did give away my rice cooker.
Well it sounds like you’re in more dire straits than I am when it comes to available counter space! Although the trade off apparently is that you have a bright home 🙂
