let a rice cooker be your sister-wife

This appliance has changed by life for the better in so many ways. We're essentially in a relationship at this point! Let me tell you all the things she does for me.

I prep steel cut oats the night before, then I set the little timer and let them cook for me! I like doing a mix of oats, flax seeds and chia seeds (just add a little extra water to compensate). After they've cooked I put a splash of milk, some maple syrup, cut-up fruit and cinnamon. Damn.

I prep grains for our family dinners 2-3x a week. I love that I can do this on the fly, or in the morning before I leave for work and I can just set the timer. Having a machine that is so responsive and flexible AND cooks everything beautifully really feels like I have a personal assistant.

There are other things I haven't tried, like baking a cake (WAHT), reheating rice, and making congee, and I will report back when I try.
