Here's mine:

1 serving of brown rice
1 serving of barley
2 bag of shelled oysters (I keep a few in the freezer so that when I'm craving it, all I have to do is thaw it out in a sink full of hot water)
chives
soy sauce
hot sauce
sesame seeds

After the oysters thaw, I put them in with the rice and barley and hit start.
After cooked, I add a little soy sauce (1 teaspoon) and hot sauce to taste.
I sprinkle it with chives and sesame seeds.

Interesting. I might try that. How do you think shrimp(uncooked) would do?

I am guessing most meats would have to be precooked, right? I mean, a rice cooker is not a crock pot.

[NYC_Gal]

Shrimp comes out overdone

I think most meats would be okay, if you cut them into small pieces. It effectively boils whatever's in it.

You mean things can be put in rice cookers OTHER than rice? Man, I need to stop being such a student, maybe I will buy one now, along side my amazing blender.

I just posted another thread looking for vegetarian recipes. I'm definitely going to try the rice and kidney bean recipe as soon as I get a rice cooker. Will the cheapest one do or do I need to invest in a better one? I was hoping to get away with the smallest, cheapest one which I think is around 50,000 won. Any other veggies I can just throw in a rice cooker?

Can of chopped tomatoes
Can of Mexican/baked beans
Half a can of corn
Rice
Chopped ham or bacon
Half a packet of taco seasoning mix (or a combo of cumin/coriander/chili/garlic powder + salt)

Pretty high in carbs, so you wouldn't want to have it too often

I use the cheapest model of rice maker. There're only 2 functions:
cook and warm.

I had a fancy one years ago, and prefer the simplicity of this kind.

I "bake" cakes in mine. Just put them in for 3-4 cooking cycles. Cakes come out moist. Works great for cake mixes.

[NYC_Gal]

Oooh that sounds good. Do you think it would work with homemade recipes, rather than mixes? I have a toaster oven, but would love to experiment with my rice maker.

[Caffeinated]

The recipes I've used have worked out just fine. For the cake mixes, you ay have to halve the recipe depending on how big your rice cooker is. You can probably lower how much fat the recipe requires, too.

This is a recipe for banana bread I've used with several rice cookers:

Rice Cooker Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas, mashed
� tsp (2-3mg) salt
100g butter at room temperature
� tsp (2-3mg) baking powder
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 tsp (5mg) baking soda
2 eggs
� Cup (100mg) chopped nuts, raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
2 cups (400g) flour

Grease and flour your rice-cooker bowl with some butter. Mix the bananas, eggs, sugar and butter well. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour gradually and mix well. Add nuts or raisins if desired. Pour into rice cooker bowl and cook 3-4 cycles. If a toothpick comes out clean it's done.
