I'm sure that many of you have already figured this out, but I wanted to post it anyway! The small colander from the colander/bowl set fits perfectly over the Rice Cooker Plus. It's like they were designed to work together. It fits as well as it does on the bowl. I don't know why this is so exciting for me, but it is! Maybe it's b/c I'm such a klutz & constantly dump all of my noodles in the sink while trying to aim for a drainer! :)
