Approximately, how much chicken? I know you don't measure, but you must know how many chicken breasts you use.ChefBeckyD said:That's about the only thing I've ever used mine for - I've made chicken soup in it in 14 minutes! I just throw the chicken in with chicken broth, a bay leaf and some garlic, and then cook for about 7 minutes. Then I take out the bay leaf, throw in sliced carrots, celery, chopped onion, and noodles, and cook for another 7-9 minutes.

Is the chicken raw or already cooked? I have a customer asking about cooking chicken in the Rice Cooker, so that's why I'm asking for specifics.ChefBeckyD said:2 chicken breasts, a 32 ounce carton of chicken broth (I may use a little less) and a couple garlic cloves. Then, a couple handfuls of everything else!:chef:

The general rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of rice for every 2 cups of water. However, this may vary depending on the type of rice you are using and your personal preference for the texture of the cooked rice.
The cooking time for rice in a rice cooker can vary depending on the type and amount of rice being cooked. As a general guideline, white rice typically takes around 20 minutes, while brown rice may take up to 45 minutes. It is important to refer to the instructions for your specific rice cooker model for more accurate cooking times.
Yes, you can add other ingredients such as vegetables, meats, or seasonings to the rice cooker while cooking rice. However, it is important to keep in mind that these additions may affect the texture and cooking time of the rice. It is recommended to experiment with small amounts and adjust accordingly.
Most rice cookers have a "keep warm" function that will keep the cooked rice warm for a certain period of time. However, it is important to not leave the rice in the cooker for too long as it may dry out or become overcooked. It is best to transfer the cooked rice to a separate container for longer storage.
Cleaning a rice cooker is generally a simple process. After unplugging the cooker, let it cool down before cleaning. Remove the inner cooking pot and wash it with warm soapy water. Wipe down the outer body of the rice cooker with a damp cloth. It is important to not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on the cooker to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
