Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: Rice cookers are ideal for the way we cook today. Versatile and convenient, they feature simple, one-button technology, they don't take up much room on a countertop, and they are a breeze to clean. But best of all, their closed- environment, slow-cook method locks in delicious, juicy flavors. 

Now, The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook unlocks the true potential of the rice cooker, an appliance invented in postwar Japan and used daily by millions throughout the world to prepare a staple food. Rice is the most popular grain on the planet, and there is an amazing array available on today's supermarket shelves, from basic long-grain American white rice and brown rice to short-grain Asian and European rices to truly exotic varieties such as Bhutanese red, Indian Kalijira, and Chinese black Forbidden Rice. The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook includes foolproof cooking instructions for preparing every type of rice you will encounter, plus all manner of grains and beans. But rice cookers can do so much more than produce perfectly cooked rice. The variety of dishes you can prepare -- from start to finish -- in your rice cooker is astonishing: 

• simple everyday dishes, such as Moroccan Brown Rice, Carrot Basmati Pilaf, Zucchini Couscous, and Petite Green French Lentils 
• ethnic specialties, including Indian Yellow Rice, Risi e Bisi, and Green Corn Tamales 
• one-pot meals, such as Chinese Sausage and Rice, Arroz con Polio, and Steamed Shrimp and Jasmine Rice 
• finger foods, such as Herb and Rice Dolmas and Steamed Vegetarian Siu Mai 
• porridges and cereals, such as Maple- Cinnamon Rice Porridge, Breakfast Barley, and Hot Fruited Oatmeal 
• Coconut Tapioca Pudding, Steamed Banana Custard, and Poached Fresh Cherries. 

Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann will teach you how to get the most from your rice cooker. They clearly explain all the different types of machines, from simple to sophisticated, and what they each have to offer; describe what rice cookers do and the different ways you can use them; and provide invaluable tips on working with rice cookers. 

Whether you've been using a rice cooker for years or are just contemplating buying one, The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook is the perfect guide.
