Ditto about the book. And I've used many of Colette Wolff's stuffed animal and cloth doll patterns, along with her technique booklet about stuffing. Everything she does is top notch, IMO.

We use our rice steamer often. However, we also have a bagel machine purchased ~11 or 12 years ago - never been used. It's on the shelf next to the electric wok (I prefer the wok I've used for over 35 years), and the juicer I've used once.

My rice steamer doesn't have any fiddly bits -- just a pot, a lid, and a heater that switches itself to "keep warm" after a while.

It's really groovy for cooking the little pork roasts I buy at Aldi's (Aldi's pre-seasoned roasts seem to be a local Indiana thing; hoosiers adore tenderloin). Right after breakfast, I grease the pot, plop in the meat, pour in enough frozen lima beans for two people, fill the pot with frozen stir-fry vegetables, and switch it to "cook". It comes to a boil, switches itself to low, and by suppertime, the meat is spoon-cutting tender, the beans (which require a higher temperature than meat) are just cooked, and the stir-fry is a delectable gravy. Add a tossed salad and it's a formal meal for practically no work.

That's a great idea. I've never used the rice cooker (mine is like yours, just a pot removable for cleaning, a lid, and the heating base) but it might be worth a try.

My husband has a favorite meal he calls "the white dinner." It's a pork tenderloin, cooked in sauerkraut, served with mashed potatoes (Country Crock these days) and apple sauce. It's definitely monochromatic. I sometimes add green beans for a color accent. I used to cook the tenderloin in the oven, but now use the Aroma Super Pot because I can brown the meat, then turn it down when I add the sauerkraut, and let it simmer.

Thanks for posting the recipe. I am not a "hoosier" have never even visited your fair state, but DS &I like the pre-seasoned roasts and lima beans(popular in MS) so intend to try it soon. Emily

My DS & I love the pre-seasoned roasts, they're popular in Houston, too, though not Aldi's. We also like lima beans and stir-fry veggies, so your recipe sounds delicious and we will try it soon. Emily

the site is Singer-centric, similar feet are available for mostmanufacturer's machines (and there are also a lot of generic feetavailable). Don't worry if the feet you own don't quite match theones shown.
