1. Use the rice pot as the steamer/heater for something to eat with
the rice. Start the rice, let it boil for a bit, then at the point
where you cover the pot to let the rice finish cooking place your food
on top of the rice. It might be cooked sausage(s), sliced, or a
ground meat patty mixed with seasonings, or some leftover meat or
veggies.

Variation: beat an egg or two, season with salt, pepper, drops of
sesame oil, pour over rice just before you cover it to finish
cooking. Stir in a chopped scallion or two when rice is cooked.

2. Melt a little butter in the rice pot, stir the rice around in it
for a minute or two until it's all coated, then use good chicken stock
instead of water and cook as usual. Optional: stir some chopped
fresh parsley into the cooked rice. Optional: when rice is cooked
and resting, zap some frozen peas, stir them into the rice. -aem
