I Got A Rice Cooker. Its Awesome! So what do I do with it?

Posted by chisai, January 1, 2009

Well, my hunt for a good rice cooker has finally ended. A friend bought me a Sanyo 5.5 cup cooker that you can also slow cook and make tofu in. It's pretty neat. It's got a timer and many nifty settings. That said, this is my first rice cooker other than that dreadful Wolfgang Puck thing I bought a year or so ago. It makes rice and steel cut oats beautifully.

I know one can make actual meals in it, but for all my cooking experience, I'm unsure about how to do that. I tried rice and beans which was a disaster (I'm pretty sure it's my fault and not the cooker). Does anyone here make actual meals in the cooker? Any tips?
