Definitely, and they even make small ones that cook small amounts of rice too. But you can cook any amount in one -- I cook about a third of a cup of rice in mine all the time. My rice cooker is the appliance that comes right after my microwave and my can opener in terms of how often it gets use

Yep, I've got a Panasonic rice cooker, and it's wonderful. I've found that you get softer brown rice if you put it in the water in the rice cooker for about an hour, plugged in, before you hit the button to turn it on. And since it's a single toggle switch to turn it on its 100% blind accessible

The standard wisdom is that the bigger the onion the milder it is. The darker it is the sweeter it is, so purple are sweeter than red, which are sweeter than yellow and white. That said, the "Ten-Fifteen" onion, a breed of onion developed by Texas A&M and one that has multiple growing seasons,

Hi I know that the large Spanish onions are widely used by sub shops. They seem to be a tad stronger than the Vidalia sweet onions. It depends what you want to use them on. I use the red for salads, the large Spanish for subs hamburgers and rarely use the small onions for anything else. Ju

Also note that you can save your pan -- soak it in cold water and the rice starches should release. Always use cold water to clean up rice starch, as hot water makes it stickier. > -Original Message- > From: Linda Yacks via Cookinginthedark > [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] > Sent

Hi, Will, Brown rice requires more liquid when cooking than white rice. For brown rice, the ratio is 3 to 1, so you need 3 cups of liquid to 1 cup of rice. Using broth is good because it gives the rice some flavor. Also, did you lower the heat once the rice and broth were boiling? Don't give
