Cakes, rice mashed, potatoes, veggies. You can also go to files and type in rice cooker plus and there are a few recipes on there.
The potatoes turned out great.
 
Hi there! I understand your dilemma and I'm happy to help. Baked potatoes can actually be cooked in a rice cooker, and it's a great way to save time and energy in the kitchen. The general rule of thumb is to cook the potatoes for 20-30 minutes in the rice cooker, depending on the size and quantity. Make sure to prick the potatoes with a fork and add a little bit of water to the rice cooker before cooking. You can also wrap the potatoes in foil for a softer skin. Happy cooking!
