one-pot meals? Can this rice cooker make one-pot meals: put in a cup of rice, vegetables, meat or seafood etc. and cook it all at once?

Yes, it can. Not only rice but other grains as well. You can also make stews and soups. Most slow-cooker recipes can be cooked in this model.

I make a quick and good jambalaya by combining a commerical jambalaya rice mix (Zatarain's) with sliced, browned turkey sausage in the cooker.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

There should only be one pot! Not sure what your second pot is. Take out the inner pot (the one with the cup marker), put your washed rice in it and add equal amount of water (use your finger as a measuring tool) The rice and water ratio is about 1:1. Put the pot back in the cooker and turn it on. When it is done, it will auto turn off. (It is just a 3 cups cooker so don't expect to cook more than that.) Good luck.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as ¾ cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

Interesting question! I do not think I would do this. The instructions that come with the rice cooker do not address using this for long term cooking. Would stick with a crock pot for a stew. Crock pots have thicker sides and would hold the heat better, I would think.

I never cook rice in a..pressure cooker before....but one thinf I can tell us it is the easiest and quickest way to cook rice correctly every time.

I have not tried it in a rice cooker, but it cooks up the same a regular rice so I am sure it will cook fine in a rice cooker.

I think this pressure cooker is not so good for cooking rice. She is very good but for cooking meats, vegetables, beans.

I don't believe it would be advisable. You should the pot/crock that came with it. That said, you can prepare very small amounts, down to 1/2 cup of dry rice.

We can cook a whole meal such as breakfast in one pan. Mushrooms, onions, potatoes & eggs for 2 and not have to mess up the stove top!! Works for dinner as well.

Yes! This rice cooker is pressurized up to certain amount time so you can make any rice especially, jasmine rice but if you looking for cook just plain rice I would recommend to purchase plain rice cooker with any brand. This rice cooker is little pricey compare to plain rice cooker but if plans to cook all kinds of rice then I would recommend to purchase this one. I hope this would help to make your decision.

Hi Millie. I really hate it when people who don't know the answer answer anyway. It's so useless. Anyway - yes, you can cook it in a rice cooker. Thru trial and error I've discovered that pretty much any whole grain can be cooked that way. I have a small rice cooker and figured out that if I stick to 1 cup grains to 2 cups water it's usually fine. Amaranth doesn't have to be rinsed first but make sure you read the package of any other whole grain to see if that one does need to be rinsed.

Oh Gosh! I would think you could put in at least 2 cups of dry rice plus vegetables very easily. I am very happy with this rice cooker. I have had it a couple years now and have great success with it. Would certainly purchase again. I normally cook 3 cups of dry rice at a time with room to spare.

Yes, but you will have to set a temperature for the rice to cook, unless you use the slow cook option. I really would not use this as my main rice cooker.

Yes! I do it every nite. 1 rice cooker cup of oatmeal to 1 1/2 cups of water. I add raisins 2 the water & cook it altogether. I use the timer & its waiting 4 me in the morning! Delish!!!

If your cooker has enough capacity, one cup of rice should cook in the same amount of time as 4 cups: around a half hour.One cup of uncooked rice will result in "about" two cups of cooked rice.

3 measures of the cup that comes with the rice cooker. I have no idea what would happen if you tried to cook more than that but the water and rice have to co somewhere so I am thinking you would create a bit of a mess. I have a larger 5 cup Zojurushi for larger amounts and use this model for myself or an extra person at the most.
