You can cook lots of things in a rice cooker, we recommend this book to our customers from Amazon UK (Amazon US also sells it) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Rice-Cooker-Cookbook/dp/1558322035/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265534849&sr=8-1-spell. Although a lot of the recipes in it are for the higher spec fuzzy logic rice cookers but it does tell you which types of rice cooker each recipe works for.

We cook steel cut oatmeal, rice pudding, jambalaya, risotto and cheesecake in our Zojirushi. There is also a setting for mixed rice where you put in all the veggies (and meat if you want it) and spices into the rice with the water, then it's just a one pot meal all ready to eat when the cooking cycle is done. As someone else says just remember to clean the pot and inner lid properly when you used the rice cooker to cook something other than rice!

We have put lots of recipes on our website - www.yumasia.co.uk/recipes.html which are great made in a rice cooker.

Someone mentioned that the 'fancy rice cookers' can't be found in Europe - this is untrue, we sell the top Japanese brand Zojirushi's as well as having lots of recipes!
