Reishunger

As I’ve written, I recently bought a rice cooker by the company Reishunger (rice hunger). Not because I needed one, but because I fell for influencer marketing again. I got the “best” one, which can also steam stuff and bake things.
Yesterday I thought I’ll try out the steaming function. It can be used stand alone, or while cooking rice. Since I wanted to have rice anyway, I put the rice in the bowl below and the zucchini, carrots, sweet pepper and chicken fillet into the steaming part.
I think it was done after about 30 minutes, but I got carried away in a game, so I checked in after about 45. Luckily, the cooker has a nice “keep heated” function.
What I now know is that I need so season stuff beforehand. But it still was a nice meal (well, two, potentially three) and soy sauce was good to season it after cooking. I think I might change most of my cooking to this style. It is easily prepped, doesn’t need my attention while cooking, and the variety of things I can steam is probably quite extensive.

I do like white rice but consume it sparingly because diabetes (for now).
Love the name of the brand!
You’ll be amazed what you can do with a rice cooker. Amongst the other unusual things cooked with it, I’ve seen bread, hotpot, cake,
@jasonleow I ordered 6 cookbooks with it, and the different things you can do is crazy. Didn’t expect it to be able to make bread.
A good rice cooker is a lifelong friend. I’ve had a Zojirushi rice cooker for 17 years and it still cooks perfect rice several times each week.
