Making meals with a Rice Cooker

I've recently discovered I can cook all sorts of stuff in the rice cooker. It had some weird stuff in the manual that came with it but nothing sounded good. I forgot about it. A couple days ago it was too hot to fire up the oven. Epiphany!!! I can steam sweet potatoes in there. I can cook an entire chicken. I can make soup. I can make frittatas. My world has changed.

Holy cow, I wish I'd had one of these things in college. Anyone else use the rice cooker for....everything?

    I'm sorry, I don't. I make a lot of things in my Vitamix though! Best kitchen appliance ever.
  • I do the same thing but with a crockpot...actually works pretty well as a rice cooker and the whole make the night before/in the am and just let it do it's thing during the day, awesome!

    Did not know rice cookers were so multipurpose, but makes sense.

    I will eventually be getting a Vitamix when my current blender takes a dive. Right now my favorite appliance is an Omega Masticating Juicer. Beyond making juice, I can use it for making fruit leather, frozen fruit ice cream, and it will even extrude noodles.
