My latest “kick” is rice cookers. I love “bowl food” and I learned I can cook one pot, delicious, interesting, and even healthy meals using rice cookers. You can pay lots more for a fuzzy logic rice cooker but this little baby works perfectly. I’m also making steel cut oats Porridge in it so it isn’t just for rice. The very tasty Rice Select (Texmati varieties) come out perfectly in it too. Fuzzy Logic to me means it’s basically very hard to make a bad meal. Only negative I can see is this rice cooker is a 5.5 cup capacity. If you have a large large family you might need one with a higher capacity but this one makes lots of rice. I also bought an 8-cup On/Off/Warm Aroma ricer maker from Amazon and am very happy with that brand too. There’s a Cajun rice cook book on Amazon whose recipes work best in the On/Off/Warm rice cooker.Wow, so hard to pick a rice cooker; so many options and so many good reviews. Picked this one I’m not sure why, and it’s been really good, the rice comes out wonderfully. Big difference compared to steaming in a saucepan, in case you’re wondering if you should buy a rice cooker at all. White rice does take a full 45 minutes to cook, which is longer than steaming it, but still worth it. Note their “cup” measure is only about 3/4 of the standard USA 8 oz. cup. Brown rice capacity is just a little over 2 cups (raw). Only drawback is Panasonic SR-DE102 Rice Cookerhas an aluminum cooking pan, but it’s hard to find one that does not.
