What is rice: Definition and 181 Discussions

Okay, so dealing with the never-ending stomach flu in my house (different person each day), I'm just doing ramen noodles for lunch for fear that I'm next. Is there a way to cook them in the rice cooker or micro cooker or something, so I don't have to do it on the stove?

This is probably a dumb question, but can you use the Lg. micro cooker to make that lava cake or is it only for the rice cooker? What's the difference between the 2?

I don't have the 29 Min. 2 cookbook, but this recipe is in the catalog. I couldn't find red curry paste in the store. Anyone know how it is packaged? Maybe I just missed it somehow. I couldn't find it where all the other Asian stuff is. Also, is there something I could use as a substitute...

Review: Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken w/Lemon Basil RiceGreat recipe! We loved it. Both the chicken and the rice are keepers. (This is in Volume II of 29 Minutes to Dinner) Chicken: - I was a little leery of the sun-dried tomato flavor because DH isn't a fan. The overall flavor combination...

I found the quick rice puding recipe using the rice cooker plus in the files. It seems to me that there should be some liquid of some kind. Can anyone help? Here's the recipe: Quick Rice Pudding 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring 1 cup instant rice 1/4 tsp. salt 3 1/2 oz. pkg. instant...

Post your fave recipes. Please

I can cook Mac and Cheese in it right? I thought I read that here somewhere. Do you know the cooking power and time? The box says to boil the water in the micro first, but is that true with our rice cooker?

I just got the rice cooker today and was wondering if I can cook brown rice in it? We only eat brown at home. I was looking on my bag of brown rice and there were no microwave directions. Also, can I cook pasta in it?

I need to make lots of rice for a function tomorrow - spanish rice. Can I cook Mahatma rice in the Rice Cooker? Just throw in the seasoning and veggies? Tips? Water, how much? Help!

Has anyone made mashed poatoes in the rice cooker? I was talking to my SED this morning and she said that she heard about this. I don't have all the details, but you put raw peeled potatoes in the rice cooker - nothing else. Microwave on high for @ 15 mins. Then mash them with butter. She...

Hi. I need help. I now have the recipe for the Lava/Volcano Cake to be made in the Rice Cooker Plus, but my question is can I mix the cake mix with my electric hand mixer inside the Rice Cooker, or should I do it in a mixing bowl. I don't know if this might scrape the Rice Cooker or not...

I FINALLY used my RC and made a Cake - LOVED IT! Tried mashed potatoes tonight - followed the recipe - and it was TOO SOUPY! What did I do wrong - any tips/suggestions? :(

I have someone who wants to know the dimensions of the rice cooker. I know the book says 3 qt capacity, but she wants to know how deep and wide the cooker is. I do not have a rice cooker and was wondering if one of you cheffers could get the measuements for me. She wanted me to get back with her...

Has anyone made this and can help me? I had a guest order it yesterday at my show but wants to know if she can do brown rice in it since that's the only kind her DH will eat. I told her I'd find out here from the experts ;) before we sent the show in. So can she? And if so, how much at what...

I have never done anything but brown rice in my rice cooker.. has anyone ever done rice a roni it theirs? I am making the micro chix fajitas and wanted to see how fast doing rice would be? The box says for 23 min or so but that was in a glass casserole dish. And on stove top it's only 16min I...

I had a customer just call me to tell me that she was cooking rice in her rice cooker last night and it caught fire in her microwave!! :eek: :eek: There was smoke everywhere and the cooker got stuck to the glass plate in the microwave! Has anyone heard of that happening before??

OK, this is my first time on this site so I'm not really sure if I'm posting this in the right spot, but I figure if I'm not someone will let me know. I've heard about making a cake in the rice cooker, but it doesn't seem like anyone agrees on lid on or off, or time, or how much frosting. If...

I searched the files for rice cooker cake and it only came up with a couple, and when I opened them up they were the exact same thing. Does anyone have anything else or any suggestions? I'm doing this along with the 15 minute fajitas on Saturday.

Does anyone know of a chocolate cake recipe that you make in a rice cooker? I think it's called something like "Molten Lava Chocolate Cake".

Does anyone know if it's okay to make rice a roni in the Rice Cooker? I have one, but I've only used it for cakes, and a friend just bought one and wants to use it for rice a roni. Something in the Use and Care about glass bowls? Anyone? Thanks!--Lisa

Can you also steam vegtables in the Rice Cooker Plus? I thought you could but I want to be sure. Also what units are on the pink Mini Scoop and Measure? I know it goes up to 1/4 cup but does it measure in tablespoons? TIA

My aunt is going to buy the Rice Cooker Plus because she says that she can never get rice to cook well in the cookware. I normally make Uncle Ben's Instant Rice in the 2 qt pot and have never had a problem except that it seems to take a little bit longer for the water to absorb. She said that...

Awhile back there was posted on here a list of recipes for 15 minute miracle cakes that could be microwaved in either the DCB or the fluted pan.

OK I know the rice cooker makes excellent cakes (already tried that) but what is the actual way to make rice in it?

Has anyone ever cooked brown rice in the microwave rice cooker? My husband threw away my use and care guide and I'm not sure if it will work or not. If you have done so and it worked can you please provide directions on how you did it. I am new to brown rice and don't have a clue! Thanks!
