I have an Aroma rice cooker that has a steamer basket with it. I steam vegetables a lot with it, although I'm never sure how much water to put and sometimes the vegetables come out mushy. My rice cooker just has a start, stop and a keep warm button. I'm going to have to try some of these recipes in it.

Sometimes I put a knob of butter in the pot first, but not necessary as it is a non stick pot. Pour in egg mixture and put some grated cheese or cooked mushrooms in too. It makes one serving and takes 6 minutes. No need to time it because it will pop up when ready but I like to know so that toast or the rest of the meal can be co-ordinated I am curious to know whether potatoes or vegetables can be cooked in the rice cooker, as I remember that somebody on this list said they used it for other items besides rice. I guess I'll just have to try and if potatoes change into golf balls or broccoli gets petrified at least I'll have found the answer to the question!! Presumably the element turns off when the liquid is absorbed. Will let everyone know the result of my experiments if I survive to tell you! Sheila.
