I bought a "perfect cooker" which is a glorified rice cooker, it makes 5 cups. This is a good size since I usually cook just for my DH & myself and there is not a lot of left-overs. Lately the one thing I love to cook in it, is a single artichoke, it takes about an hour but that is okay, that is about how long it takes on the stove and a lot less mess. (I know you can cook them in the microwave, but we prefer them boiled/steamed.) It is nice if I have left over chicken, I can put a bunch of vegetables in it, put in a can of broth or make it with bullion cubes and let it cook without having to watch it. Basically anything you can cook in a slow cooker you can cook in this - but it will cook a bit faster, and there is a lot less.
Another thing I like is tomato with rice soup, and just make a small amount of rice and when it is done, throw in the soup, let it heat through.
