“Just reading these recipes
has my mouth watering. I’ve got one foot out the door to go buy a rice cooker!” Robin Kline, Registered Dietitian and Certified Culinary Professional Savvy Food Communications Des Moines, IA |
The Rice Cooker:
It's Not Just for Rice Anymore!
You may say, “But we are meat and potatoes people. We don’t eat rice.”
Not a problem! Most of these recipes don’t use rice, anyway, like our Chicken
Fajita Stuffed Potato.
Most people are astonished to learn that nutritious meals can come from a rice
cooker. Meals such as:
Soups
Seafood dishes
“Casseroles”
Pasta dishes
Jambalayas
Potatoes & vegetables such as cabbage, yams, etc.
And many more entrees and side dishes.
“What a wonderful and unique
idea – a rice cooker cookbook! The concept of quick-cooking recipes featuring
easy-to-find ingredients while putting your rice cooker to a different use is
fabulous. We all have limited time in the kitchen, so anything that can save
time is GREAT. This ground-breaking edition
will surely be a great addition to anyone’s cookbook shelf. You’ll find
yourself picking it up for quick family meals, for company suppers, for potluck
dinners, and for entertaining and tailgating. Bon appétit!” Margaret L. Burlew, Extension Agent (FCS) Family Resource
Management Terrebonne Parish,

The Rice Cooker as a Portable Kitchen
You can think of a rice cooker as a portable kitchen. All you need is an
electrical outlet. This opens up a whole new way of thinking about cooking.
Now you can cook a meal practically anywhere.
“We cannot tell you how much
we enjoyed these recipes! I’ve been looking for meals that my handicapped son
can make. We want him to be as independent as possible. He was able to make the
Spaghetti & Meatballs, Mexican Rice, Pecan Rice, and Yams with Brown Sugar
and Butter with very little help. Thank you so much for coming out with this
book.” Joy

What Makes
Cooking With a Rice Cooker
a “Kitchen Revolution?”
It’s quick and easy. The average cook time is around 30 minutes or
less.
Inexpensive – the Blackeyed Pea & Sausage Jambalaya recipe cost
only $8.50 for the ingredients and makes a huge pot full!
There is no need to heat up the entire kitchen with all the stove
burners on. Just one rice pot plugged in, and it doesn’t even have to be
in the kitchen. Anywhere there is an electric outlet will do fine.
Great for children. They are using our cookbook recipes to win 4-H
cooking contests!
It’s versatile. You can now cook limitless types of multicultural
meals.
It’s great for retirees or empty-nesters who only want to cook a
meal for two.
It’s spontaneous. If guests drop by unexpectedly, no problem. Throw
a meal together quickly.
Little or no planning necessary. No need to stock exotic
ingredients. Use the ingredients you already have in your pantry,
cupboard, refrigerator or freezer.
"I'm a grad student at a Divinity
School in the Northeast, and I live in a dorm where 13 of us share a kitchen
area. I'd never used a rice cooker before, but then I found a recipe for Mr.
Neal’s jambalaya that made use of the rice cooker so I used ours for the first
time ever about a week ago. I absolutely loved it and couldn't believe there was
such an easy way to cook a meal.”
