<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi! Well, my roommate hasn't managed to kill me yet, although she keeps forgetting and offering me some of her strudel - if she keeps it up, she may be the one who is fearing for her life! Anyways, we have invested in a rice cooker, complete with a timer. As grad students, we don't have alot of time to cook and this handy little device is really nice - closest we'll get to a chef! I was wondering if anyone had tried to cook any other grain other than rice in this device? Also, it claims it can make white rice, mixed rice, or rice porrige. What is mixed rice? Haven't tried the porrige yet, but it looks like you just add more water to the mix and it probably goes a little gooey or something. We have tried brown rice and it worked fine. Any suggestions would be more than welcome! Becky Calgary, Alberta
