Amazon.com Review
Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann's The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook offers 250 timesaving, convenient, and healthy recipes for making everything from simple white rice to full-course meals. This cookbook proves the rice cooker--which tends to have a bad rap as a never-opened or oft-neglected wedding gift--can be surprisingly versatile: not only does it prepare your rice, it can be used for every dinner course--salad, soup, vegetable, entree, and even dessert. There is a complete buying and cooking guide for the many rice varieties, as well as other whole grains such as barley, millet, wheat berry, and quinoa. Many of the recipes provide convenient alternative cooking methods for traditional dishes like Italian risottos (the Italian Sausage Risotto is wonderful). Hensperger and Kaufmann show the rice cooker can also work miracles for hot breakfast cereals and porridges with such recipes as Hot Fruited Oatmeal. Delightful main courses include Steamed Ginger Salmon and Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce, and the meal is done almost exclusively within the rice cooker for simple preparation and cleanup. The dessert section has many ideas beyond the expected Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding--the Poached Pears with Grand Marnier Custard Sauce is one elegant and sophisticated example. Both authors of this cookbook are seasoned food writers and this combined effort gives tasty, easy, and healthy recipes that will motivate you to use what has been, until now, an underutilized appliance. --Teresa Simanton Product Description
This book unlocks the rice cooker's true potential. It thoroughly explains how this appliance works and how to prepare every kind of rice, grain, and dried bean.

Summary: I use this book almost every day 2008-12-04
Comment: This rice cooker cookbook is an absolute essential in my kitchen. I have the Zojirushi NP-HBC18 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless Steel and adore it. I have found the cookbook to be right on target and have tried many of the rice recipes. My Italian husband says it makes good polenta. And the bean recipes are good too. You can't go wrong with this book.

Summary: Not worth the money 2008-11-16
Comment: I bought this book looking to expand my range of recipes for my rice cooker. What I got was a book that did nothing to excite my palate. The recipes mainly seemed to focus on Asian cuisine. I hate to tell them but rice is consumed in other parts of the world. Beside that the actual typeset of the book makes it very hard to read. The paper is an off white on which they used a grey ink for the main text with the highlighted portions in a pale orange. If I even attempt to make any of these recipes I will be surprised.

Summary: There oughta be a law 2008-11-16
Comment: Good, interesting recipes to experiment with in my new Sanyo Rice Cooker. But, how am I supposed to keep the page flat while I follow them? My third arm is very slow in evolving. Shouldn't cook books be spiral-bound or in binders? This is a major problem. I don't think a brick (to hold the pages apart) should be a part of the cooking process. Now, I'm going to have to buy one of those plexiglass holders for the book.
