What do you steam in your rice cooker?

Any secrets or tricks you can share?

We've been using a model we received as wedding gift, and I hate it.  Last night I went online and see that the model we have has very low reviews.  The lid balances on the top, and doesn't seal, causing liquid to overflow.  It's messy, and our old (cheap) rice cooker was a dream compared to our current one. 

After some research, I ordered this model, which has over 1,000 reviews and nearly 5 stars. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WQ9YNO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've never used a rice cooker for anything but rice.  Tell me what you cook in yours!

Mine is a cheaper version, but I've read if it has a porridge (sp?) setting, you can make oatmeal in it.

I've made flavored rice before--Mexican rice with tomato sauce and seasoning and coconut rice before. Both were yummy.

Nothing to fancy, but I have made lentils, quinoa, couscous & steel cut oatmeal.

I've never done it, but I've heard you can cook lentils in a rice cooker.

I'm so tempted to buy a rice cooker for the sole purpose of making pancakes. (Because I don't like rice.)
