Would probably only use it every one or two weeks, so not an essential kitchen gadget, but I like fresh flatbread. (Unlike rice cookers; ours gets used more than once per day on average.) Dinner today will be skewered cumin/coriander/chilli lamb, served in flatbread with onion and tomato. One of these would be nice, popping out freshly cooked bread. |

I've used it for stuffing mixes. It's very helpful when making a bunch of dishes at a time. Sometimes, I wish I had two. I use it for instant mashed potatoes. You can also boil potatoes and eggs, warm up soups, steam veggies, and even make cornbread. For the cornbread, I use a small packaged mix in my small rice cooker. I have to finish if off in the microwave for about a minute. When I make it, it puzzles my wife because it doesn't look like I'm cooking anything at all. The cornbread appears like magic out of nowhere. Our small rice cooker is also great for single packages of instant ramen. Every college student that dorms should learn how to use one of these cheap devices. |

I'm the same. I guess a rice cooker would be handy if you made it often though. As for me, a small sauce pan cooks it perfectly every time. I've never had a problem doing it that way. G. |

Did I suggest that you need to watch rice cook? Did I suggest that I watched rice cook? I don't know about you but I use a rice cooker to cook rice. By its very nature it's automatic so it doesn't need to be watched. When it's cooked, it turns to "keep warm" mode. That's why I like the rice cooker, it's a set and forget device. -- Xeno |

OTOH, I'm one of those guys that, left to my own devices, would just wear and eat the same thing every day. Not having to make mundane choices would be fine with me. |

Yes, with the saute feature it can get a nice crisp crust on the stuffing which hubby likes. I didn't think I would really use one, but I find that I use it for a whole lot of things, very handy to me. Cheri |

So is the rice cooker, it's not very big, really no bigger than my saucepans. It sit's on top of my toaster oven and is very handy. It has a steamer for veggies that you can attach, you can saute, boil, all kinds of things plus it's a breeze to clean, but to each their own. Cheri |
