For how long should I nuke a sweet potato on this cooker for it to be fluffy & dry?

I used it twice and threw away. Potatoes cooked very unevenly. Not worth the $ at all

I have never cooked a sweet potato in it. I cook ordinary potatoes with great results but it depends on the size of them. You need to experiment. For a large or two small, start with 4 minutes and if you need longer, then put them in to finish off.

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

This thing makes the best baked pot.. you will eat! I take a med. baking potato rub it with olive oil, then roll it around in some kosher salt. Put it right on the rack, bake 45 minutes at 375 degrees F... You will eat every bite of it!! I love my convection oven. No more heating up the house... Rick in Mt. Holly NC... sorry about that, yes you do need to poke some holes on both sides of potato...

The extended warmer feature keeps the rice warm for as long as you have it in there. I have left rice in the cooker for 4-5 days before. It never burns or gets mushy, but it will dry out unless you put a couple tablespoons of water in every day.

It all depend on how many and size or what kind of sweet potato. I'll put at least 1 to 1 and half cup of water to try them out.

Slice food evenly and thinly. Salt if desired. Place on the mastrad but don't overlap. Cook in microwave. For potatoes or sweet potatoes 3 minutes, carrots or apple 3 1/2 minutes, pear 6 minutes, mango 6 1/2 minutes.

I use the slow cooker setting at low for steel cut oats. 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 hours. The way that I actually do it is to put 3 1/2 cups of water to start and then cook it for 1 1/2 hours. When the beeper beeps, I add the remaining 1/2 cup water and then a good handful of dried fruit--my favorite is dried cranberries. If necessary, I add additional water. Essentially what I did was take the directions from the can of steel-cut oats and translated it to the cooker. I also generally cook my oatmeal at night so that I can haul it into to work with me. It gives me something good to look forward to when I get to work. Enjoy your new cooker.Edited for spelling.

I believe it's 190 (I'm at work so not sure). It has a simmer setting and that works great! I browned some frozen perogies last night, but felt the middle of the potato could of been hotter. I set the skillet to simmer and left it for about 15 minutes. The inside was real hot after that, but the outside never burned

No, not all at one time. What I've done is cook 4 minutes then wait 30 seconds then cook 4 more minutes. This makes the potatoes super soft. This product is amazing. I've used it for sweet potatoes and broccoli too. I put veggies in a Baggie then in this bag. 4 minutes works for veggies too.

It does not take much time. About 20 to 30 min for steam veggie. Same reason. To stops the microwave.

It works very well, but like anything else can be a little dry. Add some liquid and it's perfect. I just reheated potatoes and veggies from the night before. I added some salsa. It was amazing!

I wound not recommend it. The manual says the oven should not be used more than 30 minutes at a time.I actually tried to bake a regular size russet potato and the outside of the oven gets really hot after 20 minutes.The potato was not cooked all the way after 20 minutes. So I aborted the toaster oven and used a standard oven.The manual also states the oven is not ideal to cook thick food items. The technology is not made for that.Also the timer on this toaster oven only goes to 25 minutes. However you can always add more time to the timer as needed.This oven has no problem cooking hash browns or sliced potatoes though. I wound not recommend it.

I just mix mine with coconut oil. Use a double boiler to melt, mix, and put it in the fridge until a consistency like pudding but a little denser. Mix with a beater and it will be extra fluffy!

My instruction booklet says to use at least 1 cup of water. Thats what I use for vegetables, anything cooked under 15 minutes.

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.

Fill the plastic water measure to the hard cooked line "6or7" pour in the bottom of the cooker and turn it on and about 6 or 7 minutes the very loud buzzer will let you know when they are done. The water measure can be hard to read and be sure you use the hard cooked, not the soft or medium soft lines. It really has worked well for me every time.
