My Love of Kitchen Appliances - Oster Rice Cooker & George Foreman Next Grilleration

Oster Inspire Multi-Use Deluxe Rice Cooker
I love my rice cooker. IMO, it's the best $30 I ever spent.



I own the Oster Inspire Multi-Use Deluxe Rice Cooker, which I got at Target. It has gotten mixed reviews, but to date it has performed better than any rice cooker I've ever had. Rice is one of the bigger parts of my diet, and it cooks rice well. It's not good with cheapie rice, but if you spend a few dollars extra to get the good name brand rice or rice from the Asian supermarkets, it does a good job. But where it REALLY shines, is as a crock pot. This bad boy makes some kick ass stews and it's a wizard with veggies. I'd say 50%-80% of my diet is veggies, so I like to think I know good veggies when I eat 'em (Cracker Barrell's green beans and their boiled cabbage bring tears to my eyes). The veggies come out nice and firm, with all their flavor in tact, infused with whatever broth that was added in. You know what? Tonight, I had some awesome beef & veggie stew, and I would have hugged that rice cooker if it wasn't scalding hot!



I also love the George Foreman Next Grilleration with Removable Plates. It cooks food MUCH quicker and more thoroughly than on the range or in the oven. It's great with fish and veggies. It really helps reduce the fat from cuts of meat, as well. I'm looking forward to using it more, this season.



Yeah yeah... I to think it's amusing that a guy who so easily gets angry with people, romancing his kitchen appliances. I take my food seriously. Good food fuels my rage, baby!
