The booklet that came with it has recipes for chicken vegie soup, spaghetti w/ meatballs, teriyaki shrimp and several other "non-rice" recipes. I just checked out "The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook" from the library, and there's all sorts of other recipes in that, also; also recipes for other grains, including couscous.<BR/>Beginning farmer's wife-<BR/>Just chanced on your blog (looking up rice cookers!), but it looks very interesting and useful...thanks for reminding us to save milk jugs to put over the tomato plants!

It doesn't have anything in the instructions about making anything other than rice, however. <BR/><BR/>I don't see why it couldn't be used for vegetables as long as you have enough water in it so it doesn't dry out. The vegetables would sit in the water a bit though. <BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure about couscous since I have never tried making it. <BR/><BR/>You can contact the customer service number at 1-800-231-9786, and they might be able to give you some more info. My rice cooker is series RC400-RC550. I hope that's enough info.The Beginning Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930750761646770794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-18459747002654781732008-02-26T10:45:00.000-06:002008-02-26T10:45:00.000-06:00I'm so glad you wrote this.

I will have to remember this for a Christmas or Birthday list.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if you can cook anything else in it? Maybe like couscous? Or only rice?Lindsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999663083256205572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-46406253566485515182008-02-26T07:39:00.000-06:002008-02-26T07:39:00.000-06:00It's always nice when hubby takes the rains on coo...It's always nice when hubby takes the rains on cooking for a night huh? I would have to agree with you, rice is not one of my favorites. I guess if God made us all the same, life would surely be pretty boring right? Great gift for hubby!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
