When you are at school, tight schedule or office meetings, and you don’t have time to breathe; cooking can be a headache. Browsing through the internet trying to find meals that can save your time to reach your office on time is somewhat painful. Let me share with you one of my favorite kitchen appliances and the secret to make it to school, college, office, or anywhere on time.
A rice cooker is made to make life better and easier when it comes to cooking in a tight schedule. Making rice is as easy as adding a cup of rice, the required amount of water, and pressing the button to turn on the device. Once you have cooked rice in a rice cooker, you will never wish to go back to the old school way, i.e., the traditional stovetop method. Whether you chose white rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, or brown rice, you will get the best restaurant quality, fluffy and delicious rice every single time without the fear of burning and sticking.
If you are not ready to eat, the rice cooker will keep your perfectly cooked meal at serving temperature until you are READY to eat. It removes the guesswork and babysitting the rice and watch the pot to make sure the water doesn’t boil. Once you add the ingredients and switch the device on, you don’t have to rush back and forth to check on it. Just sit back and relax. Isn’t it a RELIEF?
Another interesting fact about a rice cooker is that it can be used for more than just rice. YES, the device is a talented kitchen assistant. With a little experimentation, you can make breakfast, poach fruit, and make risotto, porridge, and yogurt. You can even bake a cake.
Breakfast
To prepare oatmeal, hot cereals, add a little less milk or water, nuts, and some dry fruits. The keep-warm function will keep the meal from getting cold, especially when everybody gets up at a different time.
Steaming vegetables
The most advanced rice cookers come with a steamer tray that you can use to steam vegetables, shrimp, or chicken breasts. That’s your one-pot meal READY in no time without any EFFORT.
Slow cooking
Add a little extra liquid, and set timer; the cooker will prepare long-simmered dishes without burning or boiling.
Poach Fruits
A rice cooker can make healthy desserts of fruit simmered in maple syrup, wine, or juice.
Delay timer
You can plan your meals hours before to avoid any delay if you are on a busy schedule. Add all the required ingredients, set the timer, and forget about your dinner. Come home, and your rice cooker will have your dinner ready and warm at about serving temperature for you.
Smart cooking
Japanese and Korean rice cookers are equipped with fuzzy logic and MICOM technology, which enables these smart devices to fine-tune the cooking process by adjusting the level of temperature and moisture to get you the best results. The best rice cooker is your assistant that not only saves your time but saves space by using fewer utensils in the kitchen while preparing a one-pot meal.
