Rediscovered my rice cooker for one-pan meals last week
I was about to pitch my old rice cooker, but then I tried making a full dinner in it. Just threw in rice, chicken thighs, broccoli, and soy sauce. Set it and walked away for 25 minutes. Whole meal was done with zero pots to scrub. Has anyone else tried cooking complete meals in their rice cooker?

Oh man, right? It's funny how we overcomplicate cooking when the simplest tools work best. I've noticed this pattern everywhere - people buy all these fancy gadgets and expensive appliances, but the stuff our grandparents used is often better. My rice cooker has been a workhorse for years, no buttons or apps needed. Meanwhile I see friends with air fryers that cost a fortune and they barely use them. Sometimes the boring old stuff just gets the job done without the hype.
