>rice-cooker pancakes

Rumbas, here's a tip; DON'T teach your kids how to do this unless you **REALLY** like having pancakes every day.

I may be late to the party here... but reading this it seems like RC, you have some interesting way of cooking, and 90% of it is done in a rice cooker?

The pancakes linked here look awesome. I need to try that. I have the same rice cooker in white that was linked here, so I am interested to learn more. I cook only rice in it, but would love to try it for other items.

Now up to 95-98% , I'd say. Though I've never looked online for recipes & such, one of my daughters says it has a significant following online.  As mentioned upstream, I'm just shooting from the hip when it comes to recipes, timing, etc., as in .........hmmm, what's in the fridge? That might be good with... with... with.. (stirs around in cabinets)... GINGER sauce!

I want to try the pancakes.

I am guessing you have seen this post by Roger Ebert.
http://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/the-pot-and-how-to-use-it

He made a cookbook from the post and recipes in the comments.

Yeah, I had skimmed that article some time during my sous vide phase. It was most definitely on my mind when I started getting serious about the Replicator.  But it was the 'mad scientist' mode of experimental cooking that led us to try it.  I was doing all meats by sous vide but vegetables were just not getting hot enough. Louise was the one who got the idea of trying the rice cooker for vegetables.  Once I saw how well that worked I decided to try a slab of hamburger ---Bingo! I had the seared taste I'd been missing in sous vide.

>>Sous vide has gotten simpler and cheaper

In the barbecue community there are a lot of people going the Sous-vide-que route. Basically cook it sous-vide and then throw it on the smoker for 30 minutes or so to get the smoke into it. https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/more-cooking-science/sous-vide-que-marrying-grill-and-smoker-sous-vide

I have yet to go down that road but I would expect within the next year I will have a sous-vide unit of some sort.

Yeah, it's big with the thick steak boys, too.  They sv, then sear/blacken it.

For <$80, you can't go wrong with that unit I just posted.  I experimented with it all weekend.  Uses a existing pot. Dog simple.  Accurate.

I'm hooked on beef ribs lately.  Gonna try sv with them soon.

>beef ribs

One of my favorites. Those giant plate ribs are probably my favorite thing to smoke. Basically like the best part of a brisket with a nice, convenient handle that cooks in half the time of a whole brisket.
