Stumbled on this mac and cheese rice cooker recipe.  Really?

1 ½ cups elbow macaroni

1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ teaspoon paprika

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions
Mix macaroni, broth, and almond milk together in the rice cooker; cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until macaroni is tender yet firm to the bite, 30 to 40 minutes.

Stir Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper into macaroni mixture until cheeses are melted



I remember trying some unconventional recipes in the rice cooker when I first got it, but reverted back to rice before too long.  But nothing quite like this.  

I want to try it.

What else can I cook in my electric rice cooker?

I saw this early this morning and figured I'd come back to a flood of responses, I'm shocked!!

Many of us who lived in tiny Japanese apartments used them to make all sorts of things- pasta, sauteed stuff, steamed bread, or to reheat anything that could be reheated by steaming. To this day I make my thanksgiving stuffing in the rice cooker, because I like it moist with a bit of burned crust on the bottom.

Nowadays, with a real equipped kitchen I don't need to use it for other things, but I occasionally make bread in it, this recipe is good and super easy. I don't remember if she put sesame seeds in the pot to stop the bread from sticking, but if she doesn't, it's a nice touch. Shake off any burned ones if they scorch.


you might also find this interesting- they talk specifically about pasta (and who knows what else, i only got about halfway) https://www.reddit.com/r/RiceCookerRecipes/comments/15w3njm/besides_rice_what_can_i_put_in_a_rice_cooker/
