Will this work in a rice cooker? That's how I make my oatmeal now, let it soak overnight etc.

soaking overnight is the key to soften the oats. I have not tried a ricecooker, but I would think it would work. i merely used the micro and they were soft enough for that.

Yes! I do it every nite. 1 rice cooker cup of oatmeal to 1 1/2 cups of water. I add raisins 2 the water & cook it altogether. I use the timer & its waiting 4 me in the morning! Delish!!!

I have never done that but it would make sense to me that it would be possible. Of note: I leave my rice sitting in water much of the day, it absorbs the water so when I press "on" to cook it at night, it cooks up in a jiffy. I would probably try putting the oatmeal and water in this the night before, let it sit in the water overnight and see if it cooks up quickly in the morning. Oatmeal is really cheap so worth the try, even if it doesn't succeed. BTW, my husband has high cholesterol which I managed to get down to normal limits via diet and fish oil/slow release niacin. One oatmeal recipe he loves: put apples slices (with peel) in a pie plate sprinkle oatmeal all over it and mix with the apple slices sprinkle cinnamon on top dot copiously with butter (kerrygold grass fed butter or better yet clarified butter - ghee - which I get from a health food store0 bake at 350 until apples are done. Very satisfying dessert and full of fiber!

I'll add my comment to the mix.I measure the rice with the rice cup, put it in the bowl, and fill to the appropriate line based on the cups of dry rice you put in the bowl.For steel cut oats, I use the rice measure and the porridge scale, and use the porridge setting. I put in a little butter or coconut oil to prevent boilover, and it comes out spectacular.

I am also curious about this. I plan on buying this rice cooker regardless of how well it cooks tofu, but if the tofu functions actually works, it'll be even better.

No. The amount of water used for microwave cooking would not work for a rice cooker. Besides, you can time it for 4 minutes in the microwave. The water would have to be used up in the rice cooker for it to shut itself off. Too risky.

Rice requires a tight fitting lid to cook properly unless you cook it like pasta in a lot of water. This pot does not have a lid and if it did there is no way to keep the steam in with the pour spouts. No idea about oats. I usually make them in the microwave.

Yes, I tried that once. It worked perfectly with the rice cooker but not dry steamer

Yes I cook rice in it all the time and it works great. As a matter of fact that is the only thing I've cooked in it so far.

It has to be a really small batch, I use half a cup of steel cut oats and two cups of water, overnight on the porridge setting. Comes out perfect every time. I tried cooking it with almond milk, and had boil over even with a small batch, so I just stick with water and add in more of whatever I want after it is cooked. If you need more than a couple servings of Oatmeal at a time, a cooker bigger than this one might be better, I lucked out in that this is all I need for my small family.

I just follow the directions. I normally put broth instead of water with rice and it says you can delay the cook time for 15 hrs. I haven't done this but you should be okay but I would be real careful because soaking rice can get mushy. the rest I am not sure I steam veggies in the basket. I use a little olive oil

Yes..the rice cooker makes the rice a bit sticky, and I like it that way. Just add a little more water then recommended, and make the rice a little moister. Hope this helps!

You can make any kind of rice with a rice cooker. I cook brown rice in mine all the time. As long as you put in the right amount of water, the rice will turn out fine.

I have never cooked rice in the steamer, but since it seals tight and is completely nonstick, I think it would work well if you left the insert out.

Yes, you could steam the rice and eat it. I don't think it will work with Brown rice because it cooks longer. I have another rice cooker and it has different timers for brown or white. Suama is made with mochiko or rice flour, so it won't work in the machine. If you are looking for just a rice cooker, there are other machines, if you plan to make mochi(sweet rice pounded into cakes) then this machine will do the job. I hope that answers your question.

I never cook rice for one in the pressure cooker. Instead, if you have access to a microwave oven use a vegetable steamer. Place the amount of rice you will consume in the steamer insert tray. Just cover with water. Microwave on "Medium Power" for 10 - 12 minutes. Voila! nice fluffy rice. No waste.

I have not tried it in a rice cooker, but it cooks up the same a regular rice so I am sure it will cook fine in a rice cooker.

I like my white rice a bit in the softer side so I always do double the water, but if you prefer your rice a little firmer then go with what they say. I also pre soak my rice for 20 min before turning the cooker ON (like they suggest on the instructions) so you may or may not want to do that step. Sorry for the late reply (I'm in Alaska, limited wifi)
