Rice cooker recipe #3

These are difficult!

So this is just regular pasta, boiled with a little salt until al dente, then instant soup powder added because:

a) It was the only thing to hand

b) I like instant vegetable soup

and 

c) Yes, I'm completely nuts, thanks for asking. :D

It tasted great, and would've been greater had I been able to actually eat it. Was wolfed down by my ex-roomie :'(

Anyway, till next time!

Rice cooker recipe #2

So here's a second recipe!

This is Penne with bottled Arrabiata sauce. It's (surprisingly :P) easy to make pasta in a rice cooker. Just add water and... ah ah ah, I'm foreshadowing :P Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

Dried pasta, Penne                    ~200 gms (I think? For one person, basically)

Bottled Arrabiata sauce            ~50 gms (One would suppose)

Olive oil                                    A shot, in the pasta

Salt and Pepper                         To taste

Method:

1. Place pasta in cold water(it comes from the cooler on my floor, okay!) add salt, and heat
2. It takes longer in a rice cooker than on the stove: it takes about 20 mins to cook
3. When done, drain (most of :P) the pasta water out of the cooker, then add a bit of oil, and about as much sauce as necessary
4. Add salt and pepper to taste, cook a little longer but not too long

I usually don't need any more salt, but pepper(and the associated chilli flakes and italian seasoning) is useful if the premade sauce isn't spiced to your liking.

I've made my pasta out of those Chefs' Basket erm... baskets! Their sauce is actually really nice, and they really do provide everything you need to make yummy pasta. Even in a rice cooker. Especially in a rice cooker.

Cooking is super fun.

Rice cooker recipe #1

So here's my cute little 0.6L rice cooker:

And here's recipe #1:

Ingredients:

1 pack Act II popcorn

Method:

1. Dump pack of popcorn into rice cooker
2. Tape button down, else it'll pop up before the popcorn is done
3. Shake at intervals to prevent burning
4. Cover with cloth (but make sure the steam vent is clear) when popping starts-- it can get quite violent.
5. Shut off when popping stops almost completely
6. Enjoy! :D

It turns out surprisingly well. Been a while since I posted, thought I'd make up for it with a string of rice-cooker recipes :D
