Cooking with RCP: Molton Lava Cake

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the use of the RCP (Rice Cooker Plus) for cooking high sugar content foods, specifically in the context of making Molton Lava Cake. Users report that heating oils and sugars in the RCP can lead to damage, including melting and emitting noxious gases. A specific recipe for Chicken Curry was mentioned, which caused damage to the RCP when oil and curry paste were microwaved. However, the Volcano Cake recipe was successfully demoed without issues, indicating that some recipes are safe for use in the RCP.

Hmmm, I've been selling quite a few RCP's by demoing the Molton Lava Cake in it. I just looked at the Product Info on CC and it says

"Do not use to heat high sugar content foods, oils and fats such as butter or chocolate. [emphasis added]. In the choc mlc, I have OIL, Chocolate and frosting (which is all sugar).

I wonder why?
 
You wonder why what? Why you cannot or should not nuke oil and sugar? Well...from personal experience it will melt your Rice Cooker. The thing will stink to high heaven! It will emit a noxious gas that will make you choke and there will be a hole in your RCP.

If however, the recipe tells you specifically to use the RCP then PC has worked the kinks out. The recipe I used was for Chicken Curry. The first step is to microwave the curry paste and oil for 3-4 minutes. That little mixture ruined my RCP. Thank goodness PC has such a good warranty! I was back nuking my food in less than a month!
 
Uh oh, I've been demo'ing the Volcano Cake in there and it works out just fine!!!:D
