I just made chili and cornbread in my rice cooker. Buy 2 cans Hormel Chili and one box Jiffy cornbread mix. I put 1 can Chili in rice cooker. Then made the Jiffy batter and put ONLY 1/2 batter on top of the chili. Cooked one cycle. Delicious! Used other 1/2 Jiffy batter and other can of Chili to make it again the next day. 😋 ... LOVE these new ideas. Thank you!

Marsala! Pick up a jar of tikka marsala (I use Patal brand), add protein (sausage, diced chicken, pork), add veggies; potato, onion, carrot, broccoli, zucchini, whatever and half the jar of sauce for 1 cycle. Serve over rice (I'm lazy and mix it all together so the rice cooks in the sauce). Coconut Curry. I get S&B hot curry and use 1 square. Melt the square in enough coconut milk, sesame oil, to cover the bottom and turn on the rice cooker. After it's melted, turn off cooker, add coconut milk (rather than water), mix well and add chicken bits (cooked or not), onion, rice, veggies; broccoli, carrots, etc. 1 cycle and done. (Some cookers need weight to turn on so may have to add more milk.) I'm a big fan of coconut rice (a dash of lime) opt: cilantro. There's no limit to these. Aroma brand has a ton of recipes online. Also look at hot pot / electric lunchboxes for "countertop cooking" ideas. There really is no limit.

[@vegskater1741]

There is plenty of protein in plant foods, esp. in legumes. I haven't consumed meat in about 15 years, and gave up dairy almost 10 years ago.

as someone who doesn't do well cooking rice on a stove i got a rice cooker for x-mas a good 6 yrs ago and it was the best sneaky gift my mother ever got me , she paid like 20 bucks at walmart , probably cost a bit more now but totally worth it , pressure cookers are also similarly great , i got an instantpot duo a few months back to replace a qvc pressure cooker my grandmother got me since it was finicky , the duo doubles as a air fryer and other things , definitely recommend

[@kayrosis5523]

A great simple meal in a rice cooker is rice cooker rice and beans. After you wash your rice, you add it into the rice cooker with chicken or beef broth instead of water, then take a can of rinsed beans, toss that in, add in some spices (taco seasoning, curry, ras el hanout, whatever you want), a bit of garlic, bit of msg, and if you want some more veggies, I usually have a few bags of frozen corn, peas, carrots, green beans, spinach, and edamame to toss in a bit here and there. Fpr a single guy living alone who wants to go beyond freezer meals, rice cooker meals are absolutely fantastic, just toss it all in, turn it on, wait for it to be done. You can even eat it out of the cooking pot if you're feeling particularly lazy.

[@stefaniemore3203]

Hi, Claire: Thank you for an enjoyable video. Thank you also for reminding me that I need to bring my rice cooker out of hiding, and get busy making one pot meals. They are a life saver, aren't they? To be honest, right now I am in the process of healing from both a depression that had kicked my butt to the curb, and having survived, by God's Intervention and Grace, a wicked case of Sepsis Shock. It's a miracle I'm alive. So, a rice cooker that can make one pot meals, that I can customize? Girl friend, you have inspired me. By the way, there was something so home-like about your video. I felt "invited" into your kitchen for coffee and recipe sharing. I'm sure a lot of other people who see your videos feel the same way. Nice job!

Great ideas and I hope you post more of these for us "less creative" cooks. Thanks.

My rice cooker didn't come with a steamer, I don't think. My mom gave it to me a long time ago. I only remember it coming with the little paddle and the measuring cup. I still use it often, but I've only ever made rice in it.

[@Notme-qu6]

The white tray that goes in after the rice and water is ideal for broccoli, Brussels sprouts, etc because it steams them through the holes in the bottom. The vegs are ready at the same time as the rice. I sometimes substitute chicken or beef broth instead of the water in the rice for extra flavour. Add some cooked beef or chicken near the end, put it all in a bowl and you have a yummy meal. I even have a small and a larger rice cooker for cooking family size meals.

[@tammymarshall4746]

As a single person I was on the hunt for a small crockpot and ran across a rice cooker for $12 at Ross. I had a roast that I broke down into 3 smaller ones and made it with vegetables and all. I have made mac and cheese and a few other dishes. I have yet to make rice in it 🤭I love it🥰

Things I've cooked in a rice cooker: - quinoa - wash it, use "1 cup quinoa to 1 3/4 cups water" ratio, cook just like rice. You can use it in a salad or maybe as substitute for the rice in those recipes - hard boiled eggs - steam them in the steamer basket for 20 minutes, use external timer, not the one from the rice cooker. I take mine straight from the fridge. Awesome recipes :)

[@tamesse6855]

Great, thank you, it was very inspiring. I got my baby rice cooker out of the back of the closet, it is probably the smallest one on earth, and made some soup. Threw in a package Cup Of Soup, added water and deep and frozen broccoli, plus curry powder and herbs. That’s what I could think of at the spur of the moment, after reading your post. I let it cook and simmer and ended up actually very good. Since I try to lose weight the best thing is portion control. Also having one item to clean! Thought I try and use it as a cooker to boil eggs. I am totally ready to experiment and looking forward to my next meal 😊 Thanks again, be safe!

everything you cooked looked delicious, i have a rice cooker for the microwave, next time you do rice though, add a little more water or broth which ever you want to use.

Learned adding extra water so helps. And with brown rice it's extra important. Learned that the hard way the first time i used the cooker. Also, there are little silicone liners that should help with the burnt issue in both the rice cooker and ipot

I never buy non-stick cookware because of the health issue, but I bought a STAINLESS STEEL rice cooker!! So happy with it. Been using it for several months and it's fantastic. There are so many things you can make in it... not just rice. In fact, I have NOT made rice in it and never will since I've been on the keto diet for multiple years and love the diet... and the skinny... and the superb health. What can I say? My life is so easy with the stainless steel rice cooker.

Nomads use these. It’s such an easy appliance and if using a portable power source, look for one with a lower wattage.

I LOVE my rice cooker! I make cakes, frittata, soups, paella, clay pot rice, steam potatoes and hard boiled eggs. Everything !

[@sueperez21]

Great recipes 👌🎉 Why have I not yet used my rice cooker for meals other than rice ? 😋 lol. Very creative meals. I can't wait to try these. Especially, the sushi rice and salmon. Yum, it's like eating unwrapped sushi 🍣 snacks. Love it ❤❤❤😊😊

[@ClaireRisper]

I’ve had the salmon one three times now!! Some of my favorite flavors 😊

I have the larger version of that exact Black & Decker rice cooker you have in the video! I have been experimenting with different ways to use it. I use it to boil perogies and make Kraft Dinner 🥘 (🇨🇦mac. & cheese). I have steamed veggies and even boiled eggs 🥚 in the steamer basket. I made brown rice today. Very versatile appliance.

[@GnosticKerry598]

I have made spaghetti 🍝 in it too.
