9 Recipes for Your Rice Cooker That Aren’t Rice
One-hit-wonder kitchen appliances can take up a ton of precious storage. And when every inch is prime real estate, those fancy appliances can seem unworthy. But on your next massive kitchen purge, be sure to save your rice cooker from the Goodwill box. Believe it or not, you can actually use them to whip up a tasty and delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert! Here are nine recipes you never knew you could make in a rice cooker.
1. Upside Down Apple Cake: Light, fluffy cake topped with sliced apples under a honey cinnamon glaze? You may never use your oven again. (via Daily Cooking Quest)
2. Mac + Cheese: In just 25 minutes you can have all-natural macaroni with your choice of cheese and toppings. The blue box is now a thing of the past. (via Ginny’s Recipes)
3. Cinnamon Roll Pancake: This cinnamon roll might be big enough to share, but you won’t want to. No judgement here ;) (via Club Chica Circle)
4. Sausage Grits: Get a hearty breakfast while hardly doing any work. This meal will ensure that you’re not tempted by the box of donuts in the break room a few hours later. (via Seeded at the Table)
