The rice cooker isn’t just a one use kitchen appliance. Despite the fact that it was designed for preparing rice. It also serves as an easy way for making a wide variety of foods. Here are a few examples that might convince you to invest in a rice cooker or use yours more often.

1- Breakfast Dishes
Boiled Eggs: There are approximately a billion techniques for making the perfect boiled egg. The rice cooker is another one. It allows you cook many eggs at once and producing easy-to-peel eggs. Also, technically, the eggs aren’t boiled, they’re steamed, but eggs will come out like soft, medium, or hard boiled eggs in the rice cooker.

2- Oatmeal and other hot breakfast cereals: Simply mix your oat, water and milk (optional) in the rice cooker, and turn it on for about half an hour. There’s no need for constant stirring. The nonstick rice pot is easier to clean and you can make smaller amounts of oatmeal without worrying about the oatmeal crusting on the bottom. You can make other hot breakfast cereals this way—such as custard, breakfast grits, and breakfast rice pudding—and/or mix in fresh fruit, cinnamon, and other flavorings.

3- Steamed Meats and vegetables: While you cook your rice, why not steam vegetables and meats at the same time? As a bonus, the meats/vegetables enhance the flavor of the rice or you could use meat stock to cook the rice and up the flavor of the entire dish. Here are approximate steaming times from Aroma Housewares:

4- Plain Beans: You’ll still need to soak your beans for about 30 minutes and hit the start button. Your beans should be ready in an hour. If your rice cooker has a timer, you can soak the beans and set it to start cooking for when you want the beans to be done...
