Ever felt really sian over spending loads of money on a single kitchen appliance when its function is basically only to cook the most staple food ever? Sure, it may seem pretty worth it since we basically consume rice in almost every meal.

However, did you know that you can cook more than just rice in your rice cooker? In fact, here are 10 unbelievable types of food that you can cook with this not-very-special-looking appliance sitting in your kitchen:

Oatmeal

I am personally a big fan of having oatmeal or any sort of breakfast cereals in the morning as it provides me with the necessary nutrients and fibre to kick-start my day.

Cooking oatmeal in a rice cooker is easy and fuss free since our friendly kitchen appliance here is usually non-stick.

Pancakes

We can keep the pans away for this dish! It’s a lot easier to cook the pancakes in a rice cooker as all you have to do is to mix the batter in the rice cooker and push the start button and voila, it’ll be ready in a while. Now we don’t have to worry about the flipping the dough and have it landing on the ground instead of the pan.

Steamed Vegetables & Meat

If you are ever feeling lazy on cooking your dishes separately and all you want is just a simple meal, I have good news for you! Just drop them onto your steaming tray in the rice cooker and that’s it!

And in fact, by doing so, it will add more flavour to your rice and by the end of the day, you will have a scrumptious dish waiting for you in the rice cooker.

Mac & Cheese

Hooray to my favourite dish! The rice cooker is actually the most ideal appliance when it comes to homemade Mac & Cheese as there are endless adaptability and fuss-free clean-ups!

Boiled Eggs

Although it is pretty simple to make this, some of us might not have the luxury of time in the morning to multitask and keep an eye on the stove.

Therefore, the perks of using a rice cooker would be that you get to spend the extra time off the stove doing other things, such as watching Kdramas.

Chocolate Lava Cake

Unbelievable right?! All you got to do is mix all the ingredients and leave it in the rice cooker for a little while!

Banana Bread

To all you banana bread lovers, you have finally found the fuss-free way of baking your favourite delicacy!

Tofu & Asparagus

An extravagant meal without the need of an extravagant preparation! Pop them into the rice cooker for 15 minutes and there you go: a nice, piping hot meal!

Stir-fried Cabbage

We can finally put aside the wok for this dish and watch a bit of that K-drama which you have been missing out on. *winks*

Bibimbap

Yes, you heard it right! This much raved Korean delicacy can also be cooked with the rice cooker. And the best part, there won’t be much cleaning to do – hooray!
