so each time i cook something and keep 1/2 or 2/3 of it for eating later, i put it in the electric rice pot. i usually have 2 dishes (sometimes 3) stored in the pot. it keeps it hot-warm for days. i never really wash it, as i keep cycling between the old dishes and new adds.

every once in a while i manage to eat everything in it, and there’s a significant amount of meat juice and whatever water the veggies squeezed out while they were being kept hot in the pot at the bottom of the rice pot

I then just add a bit more water and cook rice with the juice mix

it comes out nice and salty and with meat smells
like this for example

the red there is probably tomato leftovers of some other dish prior
