So I have been making a lava cake at almost every party I've done and have sold a rice cooker to almost every customer. I get the mix at Aldi's and the frosting as well so it costs me under $2.00 extra.

The lava cakes are going over so so well. People don't believe that you can make a cake in 8 minutes and how well it tastes. Almost everyone says it's the best cake they have ever had!

My question is besides making cakes and cooking rice what else can you actually do in it. I would just like to be able to say something else other then those two things. :o

Thanks!
 
Mash Potatoes
cooking vegetables, soups and stews and reheating left overs according to the product guide.
 
I haven't done it, but my director says she makes Ice tea in it almost everyday. She uses 10 tea bags and fills it with water and microwaves it for 10 min. Then she fills the family QS pitcher with ice to the top and pours the tea in. Its the perfect amount to fill the pitcher. quick and easy.
 
Ohhhh... I like the ice tea one!

I am doing mashed potatoes tonight.

one of the gals made the lava cake for our meeting last night. Let's just say my new order has the RCP on it!! WoW... can hardly wait to share these other recipes with the group. thanks for all the help you guys!!!!!!! Can hardly wait till I'm smart and can add to the group. LOL
 
Where can I find the lava cake recipe for the rice cooker?
 
I love making mashed potatoes in there. They seem to take longer than the recipe says, but that could be because of how many potatoes I'm cooking. Also, the milk does bubble and ooze out the top vent holes.But here's my favorite way to make them:Cut up peeled potatoes (or leave skin on if they are red potatoes--if you like the skin anyway ;) )
Put milk in to cover potatoes half way.
Use the garlic press and do 2 cloves.
Cook till they are done--about 15 min?
Then when they are mashable, mash them right there w/ the mix n masher. Add a stick of butter and 1/2 a block of cream cheese. :D These are sooooo good.

Wow, that is an awesome idea!!!! I will have to try it this week. I drink ice tea more than anything else. Since I only have the regular size QS I will only put 5 tea bags in with water and try it.

Question...may be stupid but I'll ask anyway........ should I reduce the time for brewing since I am only using half the amount?

ditto. I don't own the RCP yet but after reading this thread just might have to get one.
 
I'm so glad I found this thread! I have the rice cooker but up to now I don't use it much!

Thanks!!!
 
I earned the rice cooker when it was new. A friend borrowed it for a week or so--other than that it's just been gathering dust.

The lava cake sounds wonderful. Would you remind us how to make it, please?

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need to make the 8-Minute Lava Cakes?

To make the Delicious 8-Minute Lava Cakes, you will need semi-sweet chocolate, unsalted butter, eggs, sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. You can also add vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.

How do I prepare the Lava Cakes before baking?

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Then, grease your ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Melt the chocolate and butter together, then whisk in the eggs and sugar until combined. Finally, fold in the flour and salt before pouring the batter into the prepared ramekins.

Can I make the Lava Cakes ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before baking, and adjust the baking time if necessary.

What should I serve with the Lava Cakes?

Delicious Lava Cakes pair well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries. A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce can also enhance the dessert's flavor.

How do I know when the Lava Cakes are done baking?

The Lava Cakes are done when the edges are set but the center is still soft and slightly jiggly. This usually takes about 8 minutes in the oven. Be careful not to overbake, as you want that gooey lava center!
