I've boiled eggs, made instant ramen, cooked potatoes, made instant
mashed potatoes, made cornbread, cooked hot dogs. A lot of pre-packaged
stuff works great in a small cooker. You can dump a small bag of
cornbread mix in the bowl and have it ready to cook in about a minute.
You can also steam foods in a rice cooker by adding a small amount of
water on the bottom and placing a small plate of food on top of that.
You can place sausages on top of rice to steam them. You can also use
the warm setting to keep soups and foods warm. It's quite versatile.
