Zojirushi Induction Rice Cooker fans out there?
Hi all,
After a lifetime of making great rice and having found it easy to make, I stumbled across "The Ultimate Rice Cooker" cookbook. The recipes and meals that can be made in these machines sound so tasty, that I bought the book before the rice cooker! I've just ordered a version of neuro fuzzy logic rice cooker, with the added feature of cooking by induction. I'm curious to know if anyone out there has had success or special recipes using this interesting appliance. Best to you, Jeff |

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. Jeff |

Cheff Jeff,
Do you have any vegetarian recipes that are easy to create? maxine in ri > wrote in message >... > ChefJeff wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > After a lifetime of making great rice and having found it easy to > > make, I stumbled across "The Ultimate Rice Cooker" cookbook.

Anything that can be steam until soft can be cooked in a rice cooker. Heck, if you take it out before the click anything that can be steamed until firm like most veggies can be cooked in a rice cooker. I wonder about stuff like pulled pork or the strands of beef that end up in BBQ beef sandwiches. Fondue pots - they aren't just for brocolli any more! |

Remember all the microwave cookbooks that were full of awful recipes? A basic rice cooker works by cooking the food until the liquid is essentially gone - it senses this and switches from cook mode to warm mode. I imagine that some of the fancier ones have different cycles for other foods, but if you try to use it as a general purpose cooker you will probably be disappointed. -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

I have the Zoji fuzzy logic rice cooker and it works quite well, although if you add too much water you get liquid coming out the steam spout, which can gunk up. What's funny is that my parents refuse to believe that you can leave the rice in there to keep warm for a day or two. They always immediately unplug it after cooking when they're visiting. Then sometimes they forget to put the rice in the fridge and we have to throw it away. We've been going through this with them for over 10 years now. Just a couple weeks ago my mother was making fun of me for believing that the rice would stay fresh and mold-free in the cooker when left in the warming mode. --Neil |
