Rice cooker multicookers can be extremely versatile. T-fal 10 in 1 cookers are currently on close out, in Bed Bath and Beyond stores, for around $34, with a coupon.
I have used mine for everything from rice to banana bread and brownies. It stews, makes soups, and casseroles, slow cooks, reheats, and bakes, I have steam/boiled eggs, as well as poached them. It can be used to scramble eggs and make frittatas and omelets.
Brownies and cakes work fine, as well, other quick breads. I have even baked biscuits in it. You do have to flip them to get both sides to brown.
It reheats frozen leftovers very nicely.
There are other similar cookers out that will work equally well, maybe better. I chose this particular one because of price and heavy, easy to clean inner pan.
