My mother used to cook this since I was a child (I'm 66 now) and she did it in just a plain frying pan. All in one pot. First, brown the onion, garlic and sausage. Then add rice and brown it a little bit. Then hot water to cover it and add more as necessary until it was cooked and add salt, etc. Pronto!! No need for expensive gadgets.

These Cuisinart rice cookers are really basic and overpriced compared to the digital units sold at Walmart ($29) and the similar non-digital pots. Basically, they have figured a way to time the steaming we used to do in a covered pot on the stove so as to get it all really hot, then reduce the temp and let it all absorb the liquid, I think the fact that taking the lid off cuts the power may indicate that weight has something to do with the process. On the one digital version I have, the lid is hinged and click-locks into place while cooking. The Rice:Liquid ratio I recall from the manual days was 1:2. With these cookers they provide a 'cup' that is not a 'measuring cup' and markings on the pot that relate to the number of their measures of rice one uses. Next time, I'll have to use the 'cup' they provided to add the liquid to see how many units of water it takes to 'fill to the (appropriate) line!' None of the videos I've watched so far have got to the trouble of calculating the ratio or even the volume of the provided 'cup' - Now, there's a project for you!
