Growing up in an Asian household, rice was a staple for every meal. It was even the first thing that I learned to make! My mom would call from work when I was in elementary school and ask us to make rice so that it would be ready by the time she got off of work. We used the finger method, never quite measuring the water to rice ratio. Once the water hit a certain spot on your finger, it was ready to cook.
We only made rice in our rice cooker… nothing else. There was white rice, red rice, and sticky rice. Panasonic sent over an electronic rice cooker and gave me a challenge. I had to make breakfast using their rice cooker for their #RiseAndShine Better Breakfast Month Challenge!
The cooker itself comes with a steaming tray. That’s brilliant! How come I never thought of that before? You could fill the rice cooker with water and then put your vegetables on top of the tray. Close the lid and let the vegetables cook.
I’ve never owned a rice cooker that had more than one button. Usually, it’s just press down to cook and that’s it. I mean, it makes sense to have more buttons since brown rice takes longer than white rice to cook. For a more versatile rice cooker, you need to have more options. This does just that.
I chose to make oatmeal. Steel cut oats, to be exact. I figured that since steel cut oats had to sit on the stove for a while to cook, a rice cooker would be just as efficient. I tossed the oats in with some liquids, spices, and apples.
The finished product was a thick, fully cooked, flavorful, and chunky bowl of oats.
The apples became really soft, so if you prefer a harder apple, toss in your chopped apples after the oatmeal is done cooking.

Apple & cinnamon oatmeal is pretty much the only kind I’ll eat, this is a great homemade alternative to my typical “Quaker” oatmeal breakfast.

I love this! I live with my Chinese boyfriend now and we practically use our rice cooker every day, but I’ve never made anything other than plain rice in it! Going to have to try this, will be perfect on a chilly morning 🙂
Now I am going away to do my breakfast, after having my breakfast coming again to read more news.

Very clever use of what I thought was a one-trick pony of a kitchen gadget! Love the flavor profile, and I’m intrigued by the method. Did it make the rice cooker hard to clean?
no, it didn’t! it was also the first time i ever used the rice cooker, so that could be why. brand new things are a lot easier to clean than things used 100 times.

That is actually really smart to have the steaming option! Makes total sense. Yes, steal cut oats are good, but take so long I never make them. This is a good solution! Thanks Kim!
haha just reading this, I suddenly, magically, began to smell the sweet aroma of warm cinnamon wafting around me 😀
I’ve always wondered if those electronic rice cookers worked very well — like you, I’ve always used the finger method or the 1 button rice cooker. :o) But you’ve sold me on this one! The oatmeal looks yummy and the rice cooker looks easy to use! Awesome!
