Christmas Gift Ideas: Rice/Vegetable Cooker

Posted by tricia on 11.13.09 | No Comments Short Link: http://onceamonthmom.com/?p=4538  Print This Post

Occasionally we have to pre-cook rice for our Once A Month Mom cooking days. If you make Once A Month Mom baby food menus, we definitely use vegetable cookers/steamers. This little appliance does both AND it acts as a slow cooker as well. It really is a great all-in-one appliance.

Last month at the Once A Month Mom Tweet-Up Cuisinart sent us a Rice Cooker Plus with Fuzzy Logic Technology to review. There wasn’t a great way to display it in use so I decided to do a vlog about it and show you some of the great features. Here is my review of the product, and why I think you might want to consider adding it to your wish list this holiday season.

Cuisinart Rice Cooker Plus with Fuzzy Logic Technology

In Use:

I recently took some footage using this appliance so that I could show you some of the practical uses for you and your family. There are A LOT of uses when it comes to using this appliance in conjunction with your Once A Month Mom cooking days (and beyond). Here is a glimpse at the appliance and some dialogue about my preparation of brown rice.

An Introduction. . .

Cooking Brown Rice . . .

The rice turned out great too. (Sorry, for some reason I didn’t get video of that – duh!) This appliance has many uses other than cooking rice. If you make baby food, it also works as a vegetable steamer which is very nice. It will also work as a slow cooker warming up your soups and various dishes. The best part, it has a pre-set timer so that you can set it to be done at a certain time. How awesome!
