 New use for Rice Cooker June 4, 2010
P. Gregory (Florida)
I purchased a rice cooker several years ago while visiting the Konriko Country Store in New Iberia, LA. I used it a few times, then put it away and pretty much forgot about it. This past weekend I was back in New Iberia and saw this cookbook and was intrigued with the idea of using the cooker for something besides rice. After reading a little of the book in the store I purchased it and read all the recipes through. I couldn't wait to get home to try it.
The next day after arriving home, I made the Red Beans and Rice dish, and loved it. The following day I made the Ball Park Casserole for a neighborhood gathering. Needless to say, there was none left. I'm looking forward to trying all the different recipes, and I also intend to buy Neal Bertrand's stainless steel cooker, as I believe the stainless steel is safer to cook with than aluminum.
For anyone who loves spicy food, as I do, you can't go wrong with this book. If you don't own a rice cooker, you could make the recipes in a pot the traditional way.

This book is very remedial. Written on poor paper.... Nearly all recipes contained the very same ingredients.
I have a rice cooker, and have baked cakes,bread puddings, soups, veggies, chicken and noodles, pork roast and gravy......on and on. I am sold on cooking with a rice cooker and the nearly immediate gratification it allows.
What a shame that the recipes in this book fail to explore the many, many ways to prepare a great meal with a rice cooker.
I LOVE this cookbook!! March 25, 2010

My latest "kick" is rice cookers. I learned you can make entire delicious meals in them, not just cook rice. This cookbook makes rice cooking/entire meals easy. It's mostly a Cajun cookbook but you'll find many delicious other recipes too. I had a question, emailed the author, and he actually emailed me back with the answer!! Recipes are for 8 to 10 cup On/Off/Warm rice cookers, not for fuzzy logic cookers. Rice cooker recipes can be made in the fuzzy logic cookers but adjustments would have to be made. I'm also experimenting using olive oil instead of butter and the author has been helpful with that. I HIGHLY recommend this rice cooker cookbook for On/Off/Warm ricer cookers.
can't wait to try some March 9, 2010

An ingenious new way of cooking has been discovered by Neal Bertrand. Through the use of a rice cooker he reveals how to create mouth watering meals in minutes. This book is ideal for those who are limited on kitchen space or who are challenged by cooking. Each recipe is easy to put together and requires no advance culinary skills.
I was amazed at the overall content of this book. Each recipe was so simple to prepare and produced delicious results. I must admit that all these years I thought a rice cooker was just to be used to cook rice. Now through this one book I have found a quick and easy way to create meals fit for a King. The recipes that I couldn't resist to try included:
"Crawfish Boil" Potatoes
Cabbage "Casserole" I
Candied Yams with Marshmallows
There are many unique features about this book. It allows you to experience a true taste of Louisiana cuisine through dishes such as: Crawfish Jambalaya, Crawfish Etouffee, and Cajun Pepper Steak. In addition it provides a helpful resource entitled the well-stocked rice cooker meals pantry that lists the ingredients you will need to have available to make the recipes in the book.
Rice Cooker Meals: Fast Home Cooking for Busy People is a must have for anyone who is looking for a fresh new approach to cooking. It offers a wealth of scrumptious recipes that will quickly become some of your all time favorites. This book would make an excellent gift for that special someone who you know deserves a home cooked meal.
