Rice Cookers Do More Than Cook Rice
Rice cookers are a perfect way to cook rice. It is easy and requires very little effort or skill. Did you know that there are many things than you can do with these cookers?
There are things to remember when using rice cookers. You will not need as much water as in conventional preparation methods. They contain most of the steam inside. Most times, you will use one cup of rice for every one and one fourth cups of water. For metric, use 300cc for water and 240cc for rice. However, check the instructions that come with your cooker.
Rice cookers are very easy to use. You simply place the rice and water in the pan. Place the pan in the cooker and press the cook button. You may wish to rinse your rice first.
Your rice cooker is made for kitchen use. However, you may live in a smaller area, like an apartment. Your living and dining room may be in one area. There may be limited kitchen space. If you set your cooker on your dining room furniture set, place a hot pad down first.
Many of the rice cookers have non-stick cooking pans. They are durable. However, do not insert anything like a kitchen hand mixer in them. This may scratch the surface or damage them.
Steamer option
Many cookers can also be used as vegetable steamers. When shopping for cookers, look for one that also steams. This will make your unit more useful in the kitchen. Take the Zojirushi rice cooker for example. The six-cup cooker/steamer has many functions. It comes with a non-stick, easy to clean, cooking pan. The cooking pan is removable.
Its steam tray is made from stainless steel. It is a separate part of the cooker. When your food is done, the cooker will start the warming function. There is no lid raising, to peek at the food. The lid is transparent glass. Its handles are designed to remain cool to your touch. You get a removable power cord, measuring cup, and spatula with the unit.
You will be able to fix many recipes with your cooker. Recipes like jambalaya and oatmeal are possible. You can make many rice dishes also. Search online for recipes for rice cookers. You will find many recipes.
