I have not quite figured out everything I could cook in it. But it is pretty easy to figure out. It comes with a pot, steamer basket and a lid. Then of course the electric outlet where you can choose your cooking temperature or setting. Which in my opinion makes this pretty snazzy!
It is made to be able to cook rice in the bottom.Then fish or other lean protein with a vegetable on top in the steamer basket. I am all good with cooking the rice in the bottom and the veggies on the top. But I am not quite sure about having my meat dripping drip into the rice in the bottom??
So...In this case I used pre-cooked chicken that I simply steamed to heat up.
Now maybe if you use Fish? That may not be so bad.
You can also use this to make one pot dishes and NOT use the steamer basket at all and make stews and chili's. All I know is that I am going to get a WHOLE LOT of use out of this little contraption!
It has a heat setting up to 500-550..I think!
Now there is one issue with this..It comes with a measuring cup for rice and is marked in the inside. It also comes with an instruction book. But you are pretty much on your own when it comes to figuring out how much water to add! In my opinion..Just go by what the box or bag says. That is what we have done so far. We did find an old manual online from an older version of the same cooker. It gives a bit more information.We have also found that other owners of this product are having similar issues. But I would still buy it again!
BOILING THE RICE! |
VEGGIES AND CHICKEN FOR FAJITAS! |
Jack has already used it more then I have. He likes healthy cooking just as much if not more then I do.
He is the one that is always after me to EAT MY PROTEIN! So having another kitchen appliance in which he can cook chicken...Lets just say he too is VERY happy!
I did notice that it makes REALLY good rice! If you like STICKY rice? Then this is for you!
I just love the fact that it takes ONE pan to make our entire dinner!
So MERRY CHRISTMAS to me!!! I am VERY happy that Jack bought me..Well US THIS for Christmas..( :
Some of the other things it does and settings
You can set it to just steam or brown rice,white rice
Set Temp from 180 250 350 450 500

It comes with a measuring cup and a spatula.
The inside is marked for brown rice and white rice measurements.
You can unplug the power cord. Then place the pot on the table!
I recommend this to EVERYONE!!!
Wow... Thank you for the write-up! I've actually been coveting these cookers for quite awhile! I want one!
ReplyDeleteI saw one of those yesterday while I was out shopping and I came thisclose to buying one. Now I can just kick myself because I didn't. Thanks for the info! I'll definitely be getting it on my next shopping trip. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG that food looks so freakin good! Hey I just discovered a feature on my blog that I thought you might like, since you're doing product endorsements. Amazon.com has teamed up with blogger.com so that if you endorse an item that is sold an Amazon (like your cooker) and include a link, and then if someone clicks that link and buys the cooker, you get commission for advertising the product. I added these to my blog last night because they were products that I was talking about anyway so I figured why not? I don't plan on turning my blog into an infomercial but with a post like yours above, where you're already recommending it, there's no harm in you gettin' a little something back from it right? :)
ReplyDeleteJust info for thought. It's in the Monetize tab of your blog dashboard.
O.k i'm drooling, when is dinner ready?? Nice write up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! I hadn't even heard of that, but now I really want one. It looks like something I would definitely use.

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
ReplyDeleteMy last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
Look into my blog post - Nike Free 5.0 ()
