Re: [CnD] rice cookers

[Lois Goodine]

Rice cookers come in at least two sizes.  If you are cooking for a family, 
you may want the larger one.  But if you're alone or with just one other 
person, the smaller one is good.  I have a smaller one made by Oster.  It's 
very simple to use and brown or white rice comes out just right.  I have a 
microwave oven.  And I have a microwave rice cooker/pasta cooker around here 
somewhere.  But I really prefer the electric separate rice cooker.  You put 
the prescribed amounts of water and rice in it along with whatever 
seasonings and butter or oil, push down a lever and the lever will pop up 
when the rice is done.  There are two little lights on mine.  The right one 
blinks while the rice is cooking.  Then it goes off and the left light comes 
on to tell you that the rice is being kept warm.  I can tell what these 
lights are doing with a light probe.  You can also make various rice pilafs 
in your cooker.  Hope you find what you need.
