BBQ Lentils with Rice and Barley rice cooker recipe - cooker question

[Guest guest]

Donna this sounds so good I am sitting here drooling. Since the carnivores

moved in, the majority of the budget goes to feeding them, but this would cost

pennies. I like!

 

My wonderful Zojirushi rice cooker of darn near 15 years of almost daily

service has gone to that Great Appliance Cemetary in the Sky. I priced new ones

of the same brand and after my husband got my heart started again, I wanted to

go sob over the recycle bin and beg it to come back. It is funny, I went

several years without a stove, but no rice cooker - yikes. So, an suggestions

as to a comparable rice cooker that isn't over 200 bucks? (or even 100)

 

Ironic - when I was given my rice cooker so long ago, I thought it was just

about the most frivolous thing in my kitchen - till I started using it. Any

ideas?

Hello,

I don't know about freecycle, but I've been using the Sanyo

fuzzy-logic rice cooker that sells for $120 delivered on Amazon.com

and sometimes half of that price on Ebay (with superficial blems). It

makes terrific rice and has a countdown timer to pre-program cereal in

the morning or rice-greens-grain-legume meals at suppertime -- ready

on the dot with no fuss. Cheap labor for me! No burn or boil-over and

clean-up is a snap. Unlike the Zoji it comes with a steamer basket and

general cooking functions for so-called slow cooking beans, soups &

stews. Both the 5 and 10 cup cookers get great reviews on Amazon,

Cooking.com and on the rice cooker group -- that put me onto it. I

have the 10 cup and even though it's just me, I can fill it half with

rice and half with beans + greens and eat for days. There are still

the classic on-off-warm, non-micom rice cookers by Zoji, Panasonic,

Sanyo (and even Wolfgang Puck?!?) that you can find for forty dollars

or less.

 

Hope this helps.
