Has anyone tried cooking lentils in this cooker? I mean from dry lentils to cooked lentils

I've tried it, but I am at high altitude. Red lentils + white rice well-soaked works pretty well. Green lentils, well-soaked take a long time to cook. Everything makes a huge mess unless I watch it carefully.

I have cooked dry lentils very successfully. Just used the same amount of water that white rice used, and used the "White Rice" button. I also cooked half brown rice and half lentils together with the "Brown Rice" setting.

I haven't tried lentils, but we've done quinoa (white rice setting) and faro and hulled barley (brown rice setting) with great success so lentils should work. I'd probably start with the white rice setting but with some extra water 1:2 lentils:water.

Just this last week I made 15 bean soup in it. I haven't had anything I love more. My husband would eat beans everyday, that was the big reason I considered this cooker.

I have cooked quinoa in my cooker and it did a fabulous job. I used approximately the same instructions for rice as for quinoa. I did not use any oils as the manufacturing instructions says to avoid this. I did use some light seasonings. Worked great.

Hi there. As far as I understand, the cooker we bought can be used for shabu shabu, with this said, should serve very well for hot pot food recipe idea, we'd like to perform with this cooker. However, yes, the directions are MIA, I also used the cooker for some steamed veggies and the smell of burned material intrigued me a lot. And, finally the strainer you can used it when you cooking ramen, noodle soup, and the meats, spices, and noodles can be thrown inside to cook al dente.

I didn't cook rice in it as far, but in the grocery I saw that some of the rice possible to cook particular in the steam cooker. Technically you should be able to do so.

This pressure cooker is awesome. I don't know anything about cooking meat in it because I am vegan. Good luck anyways...

Yes you can. As long as you don't over fill it. I also cook lentils in the rice cooker.

Not sure, have not tried it. But imagine if you do it long enough, it would work out ok, that steam isreally hot! I use pressure cooker to cook up meat and veggies for my 2 dogs, it is so much faster and energy efficient. And it seems to infuse and accentuate flavors that the dogs go crazy over.

You can easily adapt most recipes. The one we like and use is GREAT FOOD FAST,by Bob Warden. I believe I got it at amazon. Love the cooker.

I don't use this particular rice cooker, but a similar one. I cook oat groats (whole-grain oats) using the "porridge" setting. Works fine (1/3 c. groats, 1 c. water for one person). Steel cut would also work on that setting, I believe. Give it a go.

I have not had that problem. I use my cooker several times a week to poach eggs. Eggs are cooked to perfection each and every time.

I have cooked rice in it but not veggies. I followed the same instructions for the rice as you do with the pasta.

Sorry. I never tried. I only use it to cook white rice and brown rice and they turn out perfectly.

I have only used my silicon rice cooker once with less than stellar results. However, I think that with a few tries it might work well. The silicon steamers are the ultimate for veggies, potatoes, or an occasional chicken breast. I couldn't live without it, but the jury is still out on the rice cooker. Ann mcD

I've cooked 2.5 cups (US) of dry rice, and it came out fine. However, with this much rice, there was some spatter and mess.My rice comes out best, with next to no clean-up, when I cook 1.25 cups (US) of dry rice, and use 1.5 cups of water. I use the quick-cook setting. The rice mix I use is 1/2 cup of Sultan Basmati Rice, 1/4 cup of black rice, 1/4 cup of lentils, and 1/4 cup of quinoa. In other rice-cookers, I used 1.75 cups of water. However, this cooker seems to use the water more efficiently, so I now use 1.5 cups of water. Note that I prefer fluffy rice to clumped rice. If you prefer clumping, then use the additional liquid.
