As its name says, a rice cooker is a small home appliance that provides an easy, hands-off cooking method for perfect, fluffy rice at the touch of a button.

We can cook a wide variety of rice with a rice cooker. Be it jasmine, brown rice, basmati, and more, which is the perfect foil for most mouth-watering Filipino cuisine.

A rice cooker is also well-known as a one-use kitchen tool, which can handle many other delicious meals apart from only cooking white rice.

Instead of wasting its abilities, why not test out these three no-brainer recipes with your little cooking ninja?

All Kinds of Filipino rice porridge

Lugaw, also known as Filipino rice porridge, is a perfect bowl of comfort food especially when you’re sick. From savory to sweet, breakfast to a post-dinner treat, Lugaw feeds the masses.

The great news is that many modern rice cookers come with an automatic porridge-cooking setting. You will only need to get creative with the ingredients and condiments, throw them all in the cooker and press the start button.

Using a different water ratio, you can choose your preferred texture - soft and silky or more watery. A delicious and belly-warming meal can be served on the dining table in a short while without much hassle.

Biko (Filipino Rice Cake)

Usually eaten as a mid-afternoon dessert or snack, Biko is traditionally served during special occasions and family gatherings.

The ingredients are simple. You need sticky rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar; that’s it!

Adapted from Panlasangpinoy’s recipe, here are some simple steps to follow:

• Mix your sticky rice and water in a rice cooker and cook until ready.
• While the rice is cooking, combine 2 cups of salt and brown sugar with 4 cups of coconut milk in a separate pot over the stove. Cook on low heat and continue to stir until the texture thickens.
• Add the cooked rice to the thick coconut milk-sugar mixture and mix them well, letting the rice absorb the thick texture.
• Make sure not to overcook it!
