The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook offers 250 timesaving, convenient, and healthy recipes for making everything from simple white rice to full-course meals. This cookbook proves the rice cooker--which tends to have a bad rap as a never-opened or oft-neglected wedding gift--can be surprisingly versatile: not only does it prepare your rice, it can be used for every dinner course--salad, soup, vegetable, entree, and even dessert.
There is a complete buying and cooking guide for the many rice varieties, as well as other whole grains such as barley, millet, wheat berry, and quinoa. Many of the recipes provide convenient alternative cooking methods for traditional dishes like Italian risottos (the Italian Sausage Risotto is wonderful). Hensperger and Kaufmann show the rice cooker can also work miracles for hot breakfast cereals and porridges with such recipes as Hot Fruited Oatmeal. Delightful main courses include Steamed Ginger Salmon and Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce, and the meal is done almost exclusively within the rice cooker for simple preparation and cleanup. The dessert section has many ideas beyond the expected Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding--the Poached Pears with Grand Marnier Custard Sauce is one elegant and sophisticated example. Both authors of this cookbook are seasoned food writers and this combined effort gives tasty, easy, and healthy recipes that will motivate you to use what has been, until now, an underutilized appliance. --Teresa Simanton

| This cookbook is really a must if you are investing in a new-age rice cooker (like the Zojirushi NS-TGC10 Micom 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer, Stainless Steel and want to make maximum use of it. I have expanded the use of my new rice cooker (which I love) greatly, to include cooking dried beans, steel-cut oats, barley, etc. with the help of this book. Although the basic directions that came with the rice cooker are fine, I know I would have missed some great opportunities for using it if I had not purchased this cookbook. |
| Yummy!!! Easy to use! | 2010-07-10 | 5 / 5 |

| The recipes we have tried so far are great! It works with our zoji wonderfully, and the recipes were easy to follow and came out very tasty. We specially like the mixed rice recipes. They type color was not an issue for me, though I have to use a cookbook holder to keep the book open most times. But, I love my cookbook holder and the acrylic face keeps this and my other books clean. At any rate, this book has a wealth of recipes of a range of types. It even got us to try (and love!) Basmati and Jasmati rices, and it has interesting facts about rice. If you are even considering it, I would say give it a go. |

I've used the rice cooker on several occasions and it works great. The menu is simple to use and reasonably intuitive. There are a few quirks that others have points out (like noon reads as 0:00 on the clock). Although this is odd, I find that it just doesn't matter. What matters is that is really easy to make great rice. I measure the rice, measure the water, and press a few quick buttons. Clean up is fairly easy as well. All and all...I'm happy with the purchase.
Good luck. |
| A little impractical | 2010-07-04 | 3 / 5 |
|
| I absolutely love all of Beth Hensperger's bread cookbooks, however this book is a bit impractical. Some recipes require two rice cookers, and most others require a programmable rice cooker. There are plenty of great recipes (tips) for making great rice and rice-like side dishes, and those that are applicable for my simple on/off rice cooker are nice to have on hand. Perhaps someday I'll get a programmable rice cooker (fuzzy logic with porridge setting), and I'll be able to try some of these recipes, but for now, I guess I just have to make rice. |
| Echoing the complaints about the type color | 2010-06-23 | 3 / 5 |
|
| I love this cookbook. The recipes are not overly complicated, but they are good enough that I would happily serve them to company. The variety is tremendous. The breakfast foods alone make it worth the price, in my opinion. However, I hate to *read* this cookbook, because the type is so light in comparison to the page, that it's extremely difficult (and that's in my well-lighted kitchen!) I really have trouble with the orange type in particular. (The ingredients are generally given in orange type.) Plus, I worry that the type is going to fade even more over time. I like the book so much I've even thought about buying it for my Kindle, but Kindle has its own problems converting lists and graphs, so I've avoided doing that for now. |
