Rice cooker meals??

Interesting topic:).
Will be checking out this thread from time to time to see the value of a rice cooker as I've never owned one.

This is my 2nd cheap-o Black/Decker and use it often for rice and steaming vegetables. Couldn't live without one, so when my first one quit, I got lucky and found a brand new one at a garage sale for $1.

X2 My wife uses ours to cook everything sauce brown meats, I could fill the page with her uses. We have 2 small and three large ones, one small and one large stay in the motorhome our crockpots haven't been used in ages.

We use ours for soup, browning meats, and cooking pasta. It also makes good oat meal. There are several rice cooker cookbooks on the internet. We use Rice Cooker Meals Fast Home Cooking for Busy People and The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook. Ours is a Zojirushi and purchased at a local Asian market. If we paid $20 I would be amazed. Not fancy will all the different zones and settings but works for us. Make sure you have a good rice paddle.
