    Did yours come with a steamer tray? Is it one of the rice cookers that has a "slow cooker" setting? Is it a "fuzzy logic" rice cooker?

    My most successful meals in my "dumb" rice cooker (only has one setting, no steamer tray) is to put in, for example:

    1 cup dry rice (or lentils or quinoa)
    3/4 cup FROZEN veggies (like peas and carrots... whatever I have)
    4 oz. leftover/pre-cooked chicken
    1/8 cup raisins
    curry powder -- amount depends on your preference. A teaspoon or two maybe
    1.5 cups water (or whatever is a little more than you normally would for the amount of rice you used)
    1 teaspoon chicken broth powder, if desired

    Press start, run errands. It'll take maybe half an hour to cook, then it'll switch over to the warm setting for a couple hours.

    I so love curry and raisins..I am so glad I stumbled upon this thread. Can't wait to try this.
