A cookbook in a box
Tis rice cooker comes with a cookbook, about ten recipes, enough to spark your curiosity. After trying every recommended dish, I decided to experiment a bit on my own and create new recipes.
Legumes, veggies, soups
I love to eat legumes and vegetables. So, I experimented with yellow moong beans, lentils, wild rice, and buckwheat. I cooked red and green pepper, zucchini, cauliflower, and broccoli. I prepared my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I even made vegetable soup in my small rice cooker.
If you want to heat canned soups or chili, you can do it in this rice cooker.
A few of my favorite recipes are published BELOW.
What else
I had many rice cookers in my life, but I think this 2.5-cup small rice cooker is the cutest kitchen appliance I ever had. And it is functional too.
