I too have several rice cookers one regular one fuzzy logic plus I've
made rice in a pot and in a microwave.

The reason I have 2 devices only for rice cooking is the older plain jane
rice cooker has a serious scratch in the non stick liner and I haven't
thrown it out yet.

The newer fuzzy one does a very good job of rice cooking...it doesn't
leave a brown skin on the rice on the bottom of the pot...which some folk
like. Which is just fine by me.

I don't have a brown skin on the bottom of the pot when I cook rice in
a regular pot on the stove...

I have never had a rice cooker, and will probably never ever get one.
I can think of other expensive kitchen toys that I would prefer to
buy... For instance, more great knives. And that ice cream maker I
inadvertantly got you to buy...

I like a rice cooker mainly because un-upervised it will make 1 cup or
oodles of rice and keep it warm for several hours. Plus I have a nice
rice cooker cooknook with 250 recipes to try.

Where exactly is this cooknook located and is it dedicated to only your
rice cooker? Seems like a cooknook could hold far more than a meager 250
recipes. :-)

Or, is it just getting to late to type. <veg>

I like the fuzzy one for the same reason, no brown skin. It also doesn't
pack as much. I usually use chopsticks to stir before serving instead of
cutting into it with a big spoon. The spoon as everyone knows is for
serving.

One thing that makes the fuzzy one more difficult to use is their
recommendation -- if you follow it -- is to wash the rice in another pot
instead of the pot that comes with it, so that the grain will not scratch up
the coating. Let's hope that the coating is harder than that -- but I have
followed their instructions on that count.

My older rice cookers are perfect steamers. I have no problem keeping them.

My old rice cooker didn't even have a steamer insert...it just cooks
rice.

My new rice cooker did come with a steam insert which I'll probably never
use.

I have a dedicated electric veggie steamer slash hard boiled egg maker. I
used this steam more often to hard boil eggs than to actually steam
anything.


Since I nuke my veggies mostly and I rarely steam anything else. I've
started noticing how many things I have to steam with...the wok, pasta
pot, rice cooker and the electric steamer this doesn't count the various
steamer pot inserts I have floating around in boxex and drawers,

Get those inserts into ONE PLACE!
This sort of thing can drive me crazy -- I don't know about you.

I have a room full of left-over unused art supplies and a room full of art
books.

I have a room full of left-over quilting supplies and quilting books.

I have a room full of music instruments and music books (now relegated to
the attic).

3 decades of collecting, hoping for a decade for a few more roomfulls of
kitchen stuff.

Now with news this morning of new hope for Alzheimer's, maybe I'll be able
to enjoy the kitchen stuff.

Anything new and shiny,
Dee Dee

Same here, sweetums.
Although I don't think you're completely without sin. ;-))

You've told me about some of your 'collections.'
Although I don't know if you're into the new stuff like I am.

I mis-wrote. I meant to say, Although I don't think you're into the new
......."

I'll bet you have some selections of furniture stores in that area -- Geez,
I've not seen any good furniture stores since the 70's in Seattle, the Bon
Marche -- if anyone remembers. Even a good furniture store doesn't seem to
have what I'm looking for anymore.

We have some nice shops and design studios here, but 90% of what I buy is
from NYC where I still know dealers.

Speaking of baubles, bangles and beads.....I have boxes of beading
supplies, tools, threads etc. that I no longer use. Can't find a buyer for
them so they just sit in storage. I think I'll package them up for
donation. Someone is going to get a bargain..... My kitchen stuff, that I
buy at yard sales to try out, get given to my son's fiance when I find they
don't fit in my kitchen. Sharon

You might offer them up to a Girl Scout troop, elementary school or a
nursing home or some place that could use them in arts and crafts, y'know?

It's difficult to find buyers for anything one treasures.

I've had people see my piano sitting there and ask me if I use it and when I
say no, they'll wonder if I will take less-than-a-thousand for it. A guy
recently tried to 'argue' the point that it wasn't bought at what I paid for
it and a whole bunch of stuff. I reckoned he must've wanted it and thought
I was an stupid-old-lady hard up to sell it. He did everything he could to
make a buy. I would've rather burned it than sell it to him ;-)) I don't
know what will ever happen to it. But as long as I live, it'll stay in my
house.

The only thing I think about is - how will DH get rid of all this stuff, if
I check out before him. (We have no heirs.)

That sounds like a good offer, but it's come-and-get-it & carry. :-)))

I don't understand this.

If it works well for me I'll consider getting one for either son or
daughter, if it is iffy I chuck it out.

I only give them condoments I dislike that they might like. On the
understanding that it gets chucked if they don't like it.

To my way of thinking...Crud shared is still crud.
And giving loved one my castoffs isn't done. But maybe that's the way I
was raised.
