  
Throughout Asia, rice
cookers are indispensable. Now, The
Ultimate Rice
Cooker Cookbook
unlocks the rice
cooker's potential for the
American kitchen. Starting with an explanation of how a rice
cooker works and important tips on cooking
with one, it proceeds to easy-to-follow charts on how to prepare basic rice,
grains, and dried beans. Then it moves on to
making a perfect pot of rice, whether
it's American long-grain white or Bhutanese red. Once the
basics are mastered, there are rice-centered
meals such as Butternut Squash Risotto, Fruited Pilaf, and Indonesian Rice
Bowl. Next The Ultimate
Rice Cooker
Cookbook explains how to use the
rice cooker
to prepare all manner of grain and bean dishes, from Breakfast Barley to
Gorgonzola Polenta to Turkey Chili with Baby White Beans. Last, but certainly
not least, the book reveals the
secrets to making delicious puddings and fruit desserts, preparing and steaming
fish, vegetables, tamales, dolmas, dim sum, and more, all made in the
rice cooker
from start to finish.
