I love my rice cooker. Like LOVE it. Don’t tell my crock pot, but it’s possible I like it even more than it. And that’s tough because I’m obsessed with my crock pot. The thing about a rice cooker is that it’s so forgiving. If I just got home and realized I forgot to throw dinner in the crock pot and only have a few minutes before dinner, rice cooker to the rescue. I throw some chicken on the grill & whip up a batch of rice.
I’ve been experimenting with different kinds of rice and now, pain old white rice seems boring. My whole family liked the Chicken and Thyme Rice with Carrots I made awhile back and this recipe was a big hit too! I’m telling you, rice cookers are where it’s at!
Ingredients
2 cups jasmine rice
2 1/2 cups chicken stock {or water if you prefer}
1 cup orange marmalade {I used my Orange Marmalade Recipe}
Directions
Measure 2 cups jasmine rice and rinse in a fine-mesh sieve.
Place the chicken stock, rice and marmalade in a rice cooker, stir and cook as you would regular white rice.
If you don’t have a rice cooker, place all the ingredients in a medium sauce pan, stir and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Serve as a side dish or if you’re feeling too lazy to make a main dish, eat a big fat bowl of rice for dinner. Works for me!
This is my favorite rice cooker – Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer

We have the same rice cooker and I love mine too *squeal*!!! Did you know that you can hardboil eggs in them?! You can steam them for 20 minutes or place them in the bottom of the pot with enough water to cover them and set it to steam for 10 minutes. I add a little baking soda to my water and no matter how fresh the eggs were, the shells peeled right off. Last night we boiled eggs for salad and steamed lobster at the same time!

Hi Mavis! Love your blog! My hubby LOVES black rice (aka forbidden rice). We get it in the bulk section at Winco.
It’s great with just a bit of butter on it.
