BAKED GOODS  For baked goods recipes an additional 10 minutes may be needed.  Once cooking time is complete, turn off Perfect Cooker & allow food to rest for an additional 10 min with lid closed.  Then remove inner pot & allow to completely cool before serving.

MEAT/POULTRY  Brown beef or poultry and drain any excess fat or oil before following recipe.

MEASURING CUP  The measuring cup included adheres to

rice industry standards. It is about ¾ of the size of 1 standard U.S. cup. When making rice, we recommend using this cup for measuring both rice & water.  Use a standard measuring cup (not included) for all other recipes.

Does anyone have a clue as to what they used for crust in the stuffed calazones? Once I though I could see faint circles and wondered if it was canned biscuits.

No, but I'd try pizza dough - the kind that comes in a tube should work, or just the wampum muffins?

I'd like to add a tip. When i use my rice cooker making white or brown rice. I always add a tablespoon of butter. It keeps the foaming down I found.

We used pre-made pizza dough, next time I will make my own, just quarter the batch. I also put a little pizza sauce in with the meat and cheese.

Does anyone know if you can cook LESS than the 5-cup amount? I have cookbooks with ingrediets for several sizes and I don't always want the full amount. I am thinking that I could make less, but just wondered if anyone knew for sure. Thanks!

Yes, I understand the 5 cups is the maximum. You can make any amount less than that.

Has anyone made Uncle Ben's wild rice in the Perfect Cooker? If so, can you tell me how to do it. I just received my cooker and haven't used it yet. Thanks

I've also added salt, pepper, Paula Dean's house dressing, and sliced mushrooms to mine, after it is cooked
