Excellent Cookbook for Perfect Cooker or Rice Cooker

MKR14 — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:52:44 GMT

I have this book and it has all kinds of recipes not just rice. HSN has it but they sell them online also. I bought this for my Skinny Mini cooker but it works perfect for the Perfect Cooker on QVC also. It has directions for 1.3, cup, 3 cup and 5 cup cookers. You will not be disappointed. Times will have to be adjusted.

Easy to follow and photos on every recipe.

I love that cookbook and posted the banan bread recipe from there. The only thing we need to do with the new cooker is figure out the timing since we can set it in advance and not have to adjust for the stopping and resetting. The banana bread took about 25 minutes for the small cooker (page 37).

This is the cookbook I also have. Good investment for anyone with a slow cooker.

You are welcome. Some of the best advice comes from people here in the Kitchen forum. That is how I learned last year about it.

I have this cook book and will be recipes in my Wonder Pot when it arrives. Will just double the 5 cup amounts. Should work.

Expecting the wonder pot by the end of the week. Can't wait.

I got this cookbook when I purchased my small WP cooker. I now also have the Q's Perfect Cooker and am awaiting arrival of the Wonder Pot. This one book will cover all three sizes.

After reading the posts about the timing problems with the Perfect Cooker and having to turn breads and such over during the cooking process I am really looking forward to receiving the more powerful (500w compared to the Perfect Cooker's 250w for a larger capacity) Wonder Pot. According to the recipes not even breads or cakes will have to be turned over. A big plus for me.

I was surprised that the maximum temperature of Q's Perfect Cooker is 219 degrees and that is in rice mode. Cook mode only reaches 203 degrees. No wonder everything takes so long.

@MKR14 I agree. I have that book, and a couple others about rice cookers. Online cooking videos and just plain experimenting works great as well. This cookbook is a great starting point and inspiration for these cookers. I have several sizes of rice cookers, and use this book often for ideas for all of them.

@MKR14 I learned about this cookbook from the discussion in this forum too! I love it. I'm an empty nester and just cook for myself so the recipes in this book are perfect since I hate having tons of leftovers. I also like that is has directions for multiple sizes of cookers so its useful for making family sized meals too.

I have a very simple question for those who have and use the Perfect Cooker. I want to warm things in it. Are there any directions for that or shall I just try it and see what happens?

I would warm things in it and set whatever time you think and add 20 minutes to it. I believe Meredith said warming food was fine also. It is trial and error with this so I would set it more than you would normally as it heats slowly. I plan on trying this for warming leftovers also. I think whatever we warm up would be moist also. Let us know how you make out. I would add a small amount of water or liquid to make whatever you warm up moist.

I really like 300 Best Rice Cooker recipes on Amazon. There are many rice cooker/hot pot recipe books on that site. 👍🏼
