I ordered the yellow one plus the steamer insert and cookbook.  Looks like it would be fun to use.

I ordered the yellow and slate blue.  Not picking up the cookbook today - hoping to find more recipes online

For those that own the Wolfgang mini cooker (1.5 cup), we should be able to double the recipes for the Curtis cooker (3 cup)

This recipe below  is scaled for Wolfgang 1.5 cup cooker. I use the AMAZING Better Than Bouillon that is sold in a jar. Easy recipe for kids to make a quick/easy meal - I prep the shredded cheeses and keep them in small containers in the refrigerator (I always buy bulk cheese and shred myself)

I'm interested to try the Curtis mac and cheese recipe that he's been showing during the presentation that uses cream cheese and cheddar.  If anyone has noted the ingredients info, please share

Macaroni & Cheese
1 - 2 Servings
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup elbow macaroni
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon powdered chicken bouillon base
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon shredded parmesan cheese

METHOD
1 Combine noodles, water, bouillon and cream in VersaCooker, lock Lid
in place, and press COOK. Stir occasionally.
2 When machine switches to WARM, add the remaining ingredients
and stir thoroughly until all cheese is melted. Replace the Lid, press
COOK again. When machine switches to WARM it is ready to eat

I think they are similar appliances @likeitis . I like the mini sized ones bc I can make brown rice in one and white in another (to satisfy those that don't like brown rice) also for smaller portions or  individual meals, great for oatmeal, quinoa
