Does anyone use a rice cooker/veggie steamer and if so what are some of your favorite recipes you fix? I would love to have some new tried and true recipes! Looking for a simple good mexican rice recipe also! Thanks for sharing! :smile:

    My husband's mother is Asian, and she gave us a GREAT Tiger brand rice cooker. I use it for rice all the time, and occasionally steam the vegetables in it along with the rice (or just dice some white or green onion to give plain rice more flavor). It's such a handy appliance, but I haven't worked up the courage to try other non-rice dishes in it. I've heard that rice cookers can make perfect steel-cut oats, though!

    I love, love, love my Tupperware SmartSteamer. I have done tilapia, chicken, various veggies. Everything turns out wonderful!

    Ironically, I'm looking for more rice cooker recipes, too! The only one I have is the chicken and rice recipe that came in the instructions.

    I don't know what brand you use, but mine is Aroma and their site had some good recipes:

    Let me know if you find any really delicious ones!

    My favorite recipe in my rice cooker is "arroz con pollo"
    serves 4-5

    2 cups of rice
    3 cups of water
    1x packet of Goya Sazon with coloring *Orange Box
    1/2 cup of spanish olives sliced
    1x boneless chicken breast (cut into very small pieces)
    2x tsp of olive oil
    1/4 cup of minced onions
    1/4 cup of red peppers
    1 garlic clove
    1 tsp of salt


    In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil.
    mix water , the Goya Sazon Packet, salt and add to the rice cooker with rice.

    In the medium frying pan, add onions and garlic until nice golden color, add chicken pieces and cook thoroughly.

    Once chicken is cooked thoroughly, add the chicken, peppers and olives into the rice cooker, stir and cover.

    Rice cooker will alert you when rice is completely cooked. (Approximately 30 min).

    Stir to ensure chicken and rice are mixed well and serve.
