Has anyone tried to make rice cream in this? If so, how did it work?

Best ice cream in the world. I make chocolate, strawberry and pecan all the time. I put it in individual servings and freeze.

I'm sorry, but we have never used it. We have goat's milk & it has little cream. I just don't want to have to clean up the separator for such a small amount

I know it's been a long time since you've posted this, but I'd like to know if you mean regular cups, or the rice cooker cups? Cause I just learned today that those measurements are different. (Explains why my rice was crunchier than usual the other night when I was too lazy to wash the rice cooker cup.)I was thinking of setting this up to try this weekend, and you're the first one to post what seems to be a reliable recipe.

It's worth giving it a shot but I'm not sure. As I said in my review, it kind of separates. Even when it's introduced into something hot like coffee. I never did try to cook with it for this reason. I would speculate that maybe if you stuck it in the frig so you would have coconut cream accumulate at the top of the can that the cream may be could be used to make a creamy yogurt type thing. Maybe someone else has more experience using it for something like you suggest. In fact, I may try to use the coconut cream that way instead of tossing the extra cans I have. Thanks for making me think on the subject. Regardless, some people have reactions to guar gum, other's not so much. Good luck. Let us know if it works (if that's possible).

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

I just sent it on 30 min (timed cook). I will try it with the white rice setting.

I would agree that the holes may be too large to steam most varieties of rice inside this basket, although you could certainly try a small amount and see what happened and you could also line the basket with muslin or cheesecloth. And BTW you can wash and reuse muslin. I steam rice in the oven inside a regular pot without a basket, by putting about half the water as you would on the top of the stove, so the standard 1 cup rice to 2 cups water, would be 1 cup rice to approx 1 cup to 1.25 cups of water. Put in the oven (in an oven proof pot with an oven proof handle) at 350F/180C for 30 to 45 min for white rice and 1.25 hours +/- for brown or other colored rices, including wild rice.

I have cooked I cup of rice and it came out fine- I would NOT let it sit on warm tho or you'd probably get "rice leather".

I have and they turned out great! I put them in the cooker when I went to bed and set the timer to be ready when I woke up. They were fully cooked but not mushy. One note is that you aren't supposed to use any dairy if you are setting the timer, so I made mine only with water and added a touch of cream when I ate them.

sorry mate, it does not work any good with rice! But it cooks excellent berry juice and marmelade...

That is what I use to make amazing cream cheese. I found a very simple recipe on line and have made it 3 times.

Yes, I have cooked rice in it. I believe the book it comes with gives you the rice/water ratio. I love cooking risotto in it also.

Never tried but it is remarkable powerful with wheat so no reason why it wouldn't do as well with rice. Be careful not to overload it and be sure it is securely attached.

Yes, it works wonderfully! Pre-soaking whole grain rice (brown, red, or "forbidden black") helps tremendously. Simply soak the grains in water for at least two hours, drain, and proceed as usual.

Yes, I tried it this evening. I followed the stovetop package instructions on the rice, which was one cup of Costco Jasmine rice, a cup and half of water (twice that would have fit comfortably) and cook for 25 minutes. The rice was perfect. I have to watch it carefully on the stove because it can dry out too soon. It was sooooooo easy in the steamer and the outcome was better!

i wouldnt try it unless u have time and more product for error. i tried with butter cream a few different ways. (frozen, cold, crusted,,,) it didnt work well at all.

I never have tried to cook rice in it, nor would I. I use a rice cooker. This product steams delicious dumplings, and that is what it was meant to do. I recommend you buy this for steamed dumplings and get an inexpensive rice cooker for your rice.
