Review on 🍚 Amazon Basics Multi-Functional Rice Cooker - 5.5-Cup Uncooked (11-Cup Cooked), Black - Efficient Meal Preparation at Your Fingertips by Victor Ceja

Let me just say that I have had rice cookers for many years and generally like them. I was happy to get a new updated version of the basic version I was using. It's more than a rice cooker, it's a multifunctional multi-cooker. First it's my favorite accessory, the steamer basket, then the rice measuring cup, the soup ladle and the spatula. This is minimal instructions for use, but unfortunately there are very few recipes. Some of the useful features besides RICE. SLOW COOK, OATMEAL, SOUP/STEW, BROWN RICE, PASTA, STEAM, QUICK RICE, STEEN, and DEFROST. And finally keep warm. All these features are YES. yippee This pot offers you many cooking options in one pot. The great thing about a rice cooker/slow cooker is that you can OPEN the lid at any time to check the cooking, season or add if needed. What can be cooked in this soup maker. makes the best soup, just use your regular recipe. Turn on the soup function and it will cook for 2-4 hours. Now if you want to cook in less time. There is a MANUAL MODE to set what you want. PASTA is perfect when you're in a hurry at the end of a long day. Below I put FROZEN meatballs or chicken fillet. Top pasta with 1 cup pasta sauce and 1 cup broth, top with cheese. Press the noodles and set the time to about 20 minutes. Stir after the first 2 minutes to keep the paste from sticking together. and when it's done, switch to KEEP WARM. it's perfect for almost anything. Fry the ground beef before starting the soup, sauté the onion for each dish, that works really well, and again only clear out one pot at the end. Oatmeal. this is perfect for steel oats. as it has a longer cooking time. BROWN RICE/QUINOA is the setting for all grains. but brown rice and quinoa are my personal favorites. With this function, brown rice comes into its own with its full flavor. SLOW COOKING I haven't used this feature yet but plan to try it in the future. It lasts up to 10 hours at low speed. Now this is unique to this pan. DEFROST. You can defrost chops or chicken etc. in this pan. place and press DEFROST, and it can work at 149 degrees for 15 minutes. Great for speeding up cooking time if you forgot to take the meat to dinner. Detailed instructions for cleaning this device are provided. READ THEMI made so many items in this product. Rice on the bottom and shrimp and broccoli in the steamer basket. Everything cooked at the same time. SOUP. Love of making soup in a rice cooker doesn't mean getting the perfect result. I can adjust spices as needed. and if I want to add something at the end, like frozen pasta, I can do that so it doesn't overcook. All kinds of casseroles. What you do in the oven, you can do in this pot. Brown the chops, like in my photo. Then top with rice or, like I did, packaged scallop and potato mix. HIT RIS and let him do his thing. Add the salad and you're done. The beef stew comes out great as they didn't send you any recipes, just go online and search for RICE COOKER recipes and you will find plenty of them.
