You can do a lot of stuff with an automatic rice cooker. All you have to do is understand how they operate and enjoy experimenting. They are like the ultimate dorm appliance. You can cook a package of ramen, cook eggs, make mashed potatoes, sous vide, bake a cake, steam food, make soup, heat up soup, etc. I've cooked a roast in a rice cooker.
