Rice cookers are a fantastic kitchen appliance that can cook more than just rice. If you're wanting to steam, boil, or cook food and don't have the room on your stove to do so, think outside the box and use a rice cooker.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 3:
Boiling by Themselves
-
1Add the water. Add about a cup of water into the rice cooker.
-
2Insert the steam rack or basket in the cooker. Some rice cooker models have an attachment basket available to use, as this works as well.[1]Advertisement
-
3Add the eggs onto the basket. Make sure that they stand upright, so the bottom of them is down. This will balance out the yolks and be the ideal finish if you are making deviled eggs.[2]
-
4Cover the cooker with a lid. It's important not to lift the lid on during the cooking process, or else all of the steam will escape.[3]
-
5Cook the eggs. Push down the rice cooker button and set the time for 20 minutes.[4]
