9 top rice cooker recipes and rice cooker basics

UPDATED MAY 21, 2020: A rice cooker is a foolproof way to get perfectly cooked rice with minimal effort. It eliminates that undercooked crunch or even worse, the overcooked mush that can happen on the stovetop. Plus, it has the same set-and-forget ease of a slow cooker—simply measure out your ingredients, place them in the cooker and set the timer accordingly.

For best results, rinse rice before cooking to help prevent clumping and for a fresher taste. It’s simple to do when an included steam basket doubles as a rice rinser!

More Than Just Rice

Don’t let the name fool you – a rice cooker does much more than cook rice. You can cook lentils and beans, hearty soups, or even creamy macaroni and cheese. It’s also great for steaming vegetables, meats, and seafood. Use the steamer and cooker at the same time to make an entire meal, like a decadent dish of shrimp and grits. Create a variety of meals from breakfast to dinner with the push of a button. The possibilities are endless.

See For Yourself

These appliances cook rice to the perfect moistness and texture, then shift to keep rice warm until serving time.
