Can you bake potatoes in a rice cooker?

Method:

1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes. You can leave them whole, cut them in half, or even cube them.

2. Add water: Pour about 1/2 cup of water into the rice cooker.

3. Place the potatoes: Arrange the potatoes in the rice cooker basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.

4. Cook: Close the lid and press the "Cook" button.

5. Check the potatoes: Once the rice cooker switches to "Warm" mode, check the potatoes with a fork to see if they are tender. If not, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

6. Serve: Remove the potatoes from the rice cooker and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

* Prick the potatoes: For quicker cooking, use a fork to prick a few holes in the potatoes before placing them in the rice cooker.

* Add seasonings: You can add herbs, spices, or butter to the water in the rice cooker for additional flavor.

* Use a steamer basket: If you have a steamer basket that fits your rice cooker, you can place the potatoes in the basket to allow for better steam circulation.

Note:

* Some rice cookers have a "Steam" function. If your rice cooker has this feature, you can use that to cook your potatoes.

* This method will cook the potatoes but not brown them. If you want crispy potatoes, you might need to use another method like roasting.
