Which Rice Cooker Should I Buy to Cook In?

Buy a cheap asian brand. (Like we did with the one we use every 10 days or so - bought it 9 years ago.) A Rice Cooker is one of those things, like british tea kettles, that are above earthly reproach.

Dinner Tonight: Squash Gnocchi with Meat Sauce

I wonder if the squash needs to be cold before you add the flour? If the squash was warm/hot, you end up adding a lot more flour to the mix, which would end up making the gnocchi much drier?

I'll try it. Check for the results on http://kitchencalculus.com/

Dinner Tonight: Squash Gnocchi with Meat Sauce

A few things. I refrigerated the squash first, I think that really helped. Still had to use a lot of flour, but they tasted really good. Well, the first batch did, but I overcooked the 2nd batch just a minute or so, and it turned them into mini hockey pucks. blech. Also, that sauce really is crazy delicious. I added a bay leaf and threw in some starchy pasta a minute or two before plating. I might add some white wine next time and see how that goes. I'll definitely be making it again though... so simple but so so great!

We're looking at getting this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-ECJ-HC100S-10-Cup-Micro-Computerized-Cooker/dp/B000X8TEVU/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

Because it gets fantastic ratings and because it does a better job at combining rice cooker and slow cooker.

I have the Cuisinart 4-cup rice cooker, and I absolutely love it. My mom has the 8-cup one and loves hers as well. It comes with a steamer so you can cook veggies at the same time too. It's very simple to use, and the rice never sticks.

Alton Brown did a Good Eats episode about squash a few years ago. He made squash dumplings that were similar to gnocchi. Here's a link to the transcript: http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/GEFP/index.htm. He did mention that temperature was really important when making the dumplings.
