Oh wow! I wish I would have known this when I worked; not that long ago.
I would have loved to let my co-workers smell all that good smell, and
then tell them that they couldn't have any of my lunch. (smile)
I am going to try this. Can you share more ideas? Thanks. Oh, my
co-workers would have loved to see the blind lady cook. (lol)

About rice cookers, I have one at home and one at work. I read I Love My Rice
Cooker on bookshare and started trying all these new ideas. Did you know you
can fry onions in one? It's just like an electric skillet. At work, I put some
butter in it, a red bell pepper or onion chopped, fry it, add liquid and close
the lid and let the whole thing cook a while. If I've measured the right amount
of liquid and rice I let it shut itself off when the rice absorbs all the
liquid, but if I'm making soup or stew I just turn it off after ten minutes or
so. I don't cook meat in it but a lot of vegie type stews and of course rice.
I also have a crockpot at work. I would soak beans in it overnight and then
turn it on when I got to the office in the morning. I also often combined a can
of soup with a few fresh vegetables in the crockpot, or I'd core and slice
apples and stuff them in there with a pinch of cinnamon for a few hours.
My co-workers always thought it was crazy , me cooking right there in my office
but I liked having a hot healthy lunch and it was fun to experiment. I would
spend my lunch hour exercising, then return to the office and prepare my meal
while I continued to work.
Stuck now at home due to Covid with a husband who doesn't like vegetables I
make a lot of hamburger helper on the stove but I miss my office and my
appliances and endless vegetarian experiments.
