According to the cookbook that I mentioned, you can cook every type of
whole grain, bean, polenta, grits, cereals, etc. in rice cookers. But
what really sounded good to me, were all sorts of one dish meals,
chilis, and soups---not to mention desserts. The list goes on and on.
Sounds a little too good to be true, but I'm giving it a shot anyway.
My cooker is arriving on Friday, and I'm pretty excited to try it (and
my new cookbook) out.
