Discover the incredible number of things—including complete meals!—you can make in your rice cooker.
Rice cookers, thanks to a veritable explosion of interest in them among social media influencers, are more popular than ever. But TikTok and YouTube reels rarely include recipes—and, to be frank, the ones you can find are not the most reliable recipes around. Rice Cooker, a colorful, photo-rich, and accessible book with more than 50 recipes and lots of rice cooker tips, tricks, and wisdom, delivers what you need.
For starters, it expands your rice-making skills beyond white and brown rice to include Arborio rice (which is used in risottos), basmati rice, sushi rice, and other varieties. Next, it reveals in delectable recipes that other grains besides rice do quite well indeed in the rice cooker, such as oats and oatmeal, grits, hominy, and polenta, not to mention beans and legumes. Best of all, it shows that you can make full meals, from breakfast through lunch to dinner, right in the rice cooker. The recipes include:
Breakfasts to start the day, like Hot Apple Granola or Sweet Breakfast Grits with Fresh Fruit
Pilafs and risottos, such as Bulgur and Cherry Pilaf or Risotto Milanese
One-dish dinner entrees, from Steamed Chicken Breasts with Warm Mango Sauce and Coconut Rice to Steamed Shrimp and Jasmine Rice
Desserts and sweet treats, such as Poached Rhubarb and Strawberries or Steamed Chocolate Custards
Move over slow cookers and Instant Pots. The humblest appliance in our kitchen arsenals turns out to be amazingly easy and versatile and capable of making truly delicious dishes.
