Kenyans have reacted to an electric device that cooks ugali without using a traditional mwiko (wooden spoon) with curiosity and scepticism.
The machine, which costs KSh 14,000, has drawn interest from many people, some of whom are excited about the possibility of a more practical method of preparing the staple food. Others, however, contested the need for such a tool, pointing out the cultural value of cooking ugali using a mwiko.
The video of the electric cooker was shared on Facebook by Glahpe Suppliers. In the clip, a woman showed how the machine works, describing how to cook ugali in 30 minutes.
