Junk in My Trunk: Microwave Rice Cooker

Welcome to a new series about the stuff I have in my kitchen that I can't live without. My favorite tools and appliances and why I love them...
 
This week I will be talking about the top 3 multi-purpose tools that I use the most!
Number 2 {Pampered Chef Microwave Rice Cooker}
I bought mine probably close to 5 or 6 years ago, and I still love it as much as the day I bought it!! And would you believe that I hardly ever use it too cook rice - its the truth! The number one thing that I use it for is to cook ground beef, followed closely by frozen chicken breasts...that is right --- straight out of the freezer, into the microwave, don't have time to defrost, frozen chicken! A pound of frozen ground beef or chicken breasts will take approximately 10 minutes to cook completely! But the awesome thing is that it is large enough to fit probably 3-4 pounds of ground meat or 5-6 chicken breasts!! I do them all at once then save portions to use throughout the week/month. Another thing I love to use it for is steamed veggies! Fill 'er up with chopped veggies and add just a splash of water, put the lid on and you are ready to eat in 5 minutes or less!
