I have been searching thru this web-site looking for information on things we could cook in the Rice Cooker Plus. I read that you cook rice ( of course), lava choclate cake, potatoes, and pumpkin bread. Is there anymore receipes out there and if so where are you guys getting them. I would love to have a file of recipes to use with the Rice Cooker Plus.

Looking for some help.... ;)

Rice PuddingSomeone posted this a few months ago:

Rice Pudding in the Rice Cooker Plus
3/4 c uncooked long grain white rice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 cup half and half
1 pkg (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding
1/2 tsp Korintje Cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Combine rice, water and salt in Rice Cooker Plus. Cover and microwave according to package directions.
In small batter bowl, combine milk half and half, pudding mix and cinnamon; whisk until smooth and beginning to thicken using Stainless Steel Whisk.
Remove cooker from microwave. Carefully remove lids; lifting away from you. Add pudding mixture and raisins, if desired; mix well using Classic Scraper. Serve warm.

...and there was this one, tooI apologize to the authors of this and the previous message, I did not write the names down on the threads/files

Corn Bread
I used the Jiffy cornbread mix. I added exactly what it called for in the Rice
Cooker. I stirred it all up in the Rice Cooker & then let it set for 4 minutes.
Then, I baked it on high for 5 1/2 minutes. It came out great. You, of course,
will need to adjust times according to your microwave.

This was for the micro cooker, but I'm sure it works in the rice cooker as well:

3³ Eggs (a.k.a. 3-3-3 Eggs)
Crack 3 eggs into cooker. Add 1/3 cup milk and whisk. Put on lid, microwave for 3
minutes.
 
I got this recipe in an e-mail from my director, and other consultants in my cluster have had good luck with it. They suggested when you first take it out of the microwave to run a knife or scraper along the outside edge to make sure it's done. If only a little batter comes up it's done, if a good amount comes up pop it back in the microwave for 30 seconds, keep repeating until it's done.

Rice Cooker Cake - Halloween recipe


Make cake mix as directed
LIGHTLY spray rice cooker with kitchen spritzer
Pour cake mix into rice cooker
Scoop frosting onto TOP (some are using 2 or three scoops, some are using the whole can...depends on how ooey and gooey you want it!)
DO NOT STIR
Put on lid
Microwave for 7-9 minutes (7 for newer microwave, 9 for older)

When you turn it out, it the frosting will have sunk to the bottom and will cover the cake like a glaze.
 


Hi Tricia Ann,
