I only use mine for rice - I now eat alot more rice than I did before I had a rice cooker. In fact I don't think a white potato has been eaten in my house since that time - DH loves rice. Lots of times we'll have one of those Thai rice mixes for a quick side dish on week nights.

elisamcs,

Here's a rice cooker Jambalaya recipe that you might want to try.....works with any electric rice cooker.
