Product Description
The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook proves there’s more to this popular appliance than a convenient way to cook a pot of rice. Complete with tips on buying and using a rice cooker, as well as selecting and preparing every kind of rice, grain, and dried bean, this book includes 250 recipes for everything from hot breakfast cereals and creamy desserts and puddings to classic vegetable, bean, and rice combinations and savory whole meal cuisines.Amazon.com Review
Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann’s The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook offers 250 timesaving, convenient, and healthy recipes for making everything from simple white rice to full-course meals. This cookbook proves the rice cooker–which tends to have a bad rap as a never-opened or oft-neglected wedding gift–can be surprisingly versatile: not only does it prepare your rice, it can be used for every dinner course–salad, soup, vegetable, entree, and even dessert.
There is a complete buying and cooking guide for the many rice varieties, as well as other whole grains such as barley, millet, wheat berry, and quinoa. Many of the recipes provide convenient alternative cooking methods for traditional dishes like Italian risottos (the Italian Sausage Risotto is wonderful). Hensperger and Kaufmann show the rice cooker can also work miracles for hot breakfast cereals and porridges with such recipes as Hot Fruited Oatmeal. Delightful main courses include Steamed Ginger Salmon and Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce, and the meal is done almost exclusively within the rice cooker for simple preparation and cleanup. The dessert section has many ideas beyond the expected Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding–the Poached Pears with Grand Marnier Custard Sauce is one elegant and sophisticated example. Both authors of this cookbook are seasoned food writers and this combined effort gives tasty, easy, and healthy recipes that will motivate you to use what has been, until now, an underutilized appliance. –Teresa Simanton

Good, interesting recipes to experiment with in my new Sanyo Rice Cooker. But, how am I supposed to keep the page flat while I follow them? My third arm is very slow in evolving. Shouldn’t cook books be spiral-bound or in binders? This is a major problem. I don’t think a brick (to hold the pages apart) should be a part of the cooking process. Now, I’m going to have to buy one of those plexiglass holders for the book.

I have not yet bought this item…I am just beginning my search for
a new rice cooker BUT WITH A STAINLESS STEEL BOWL!!!
I live in Europe, and haven’t been able to find one here!!!
Why haven’t the manufacturers of rice cookers realized
that their buying public no longer wants to buy TEFLON or
aluminium bowls in their rice cookers!!!
Unfortunately I have been using an aluminum one for years
with the suspicion that it is harmful to my health and my
family’s health!!!
I have thrown out all of my Teflon pans and only now use
heavy stainless steel pots and pans!!! A little more difficult
perhaps to clean, but if you soak them, no problem!!!
And I assume healthier than what the FDA or others have allowed
on the market for YEARS that are harmful to the public health!!!!
I’d buy the book…but only when I find the non-toxic rice cooker!!!

I did not like this cook book. Have not used it and it looks to be very hard to find recipes. I wish I had not bought this book and would not recommend.
