The All-Purpose Rice Cooker

I have a rice cooker in my kitchen. Since we have already established I'm scared to death of my manual-light gas stove and ovens do not exist in China, this rice cooker is my sole means of cooking food. This means that as the weeks have gone on I have found many creative uses for it, including:

-scrambling eggs and omelette's
-toasting bread
-making grilled cheese sandwiches (with the little cheese I brought back from HK)
-cooking pasta and/or ramen noodles
-frying dumplings
-warming up marinara sauce
-stir-frying tofu
-heating water for bathing (during the horrible week my water heater was broken)

*The one thing I have yet to do with my rice cooker: cook rice.
