I've never heard of idlis before but the machine comes with a great cookbook as a resource. There are 1000s of websites with great suggestions for wonderful meals. Last night I made chicken cacciatore in 16 minutes and braised meatballs in 10 minutes. Last week I made a brisket in 1 hr. Every meal I made is wonderful. If you describe to me what idlis is I might be able to help.

I use the slow cooker setting at low for steel cut oats. 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 hours. The way that I actually do it is to put 3 1/2 cups of water to start and then cook it for 1 1/2 hours. When the beeper beeps, I add the remaining 1/2 cup water and then a good handful of dried fruit--my favorite is dried cranberries. If necessary, I add additional water. Essentially what I did was take the directions from the can of steel-cut oats and translated it to the cooker. I also generally cook my oatmeal at night so that I can haul it into to work with me. It gives me something good to look forward to when I get to work. Enjoy your new cooker. Edited for spelling.

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it

The only "book" that I have is the "FlavorWave Turbo Users Guide." My suggestion is to go online and type THANE into your browser and see what they have to offer (www.Thane.com). Their Users Guide has a section that recommends cooking times & temperature settings for their FlavorWave unit which is comparable to all of the various bowl type units sold on TV or the Internet today.

The only thing that I can remember regarding instructions is that the egg cooker can hold one or two eggs. I do not remember any cooking instructions coming with the unit. For well cooked eggs, try one minute. For less cooked, try 20 to 30 seconds.

Yeah I know ..very easy..Wash rice and fill adequate amount of water for the corresponding amount of rice,say 1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water or so.Wait for the whistle(usually 1 or 2 whistles is needed.It depends on type of rice).Let the cooker gets cool down its own or place it below running water.Remove the whistler first and then the lid,filter excess water if any..If the rice is not done boil rice for another whistle..It all takes only 10-15mins..Enjoy rice!!

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.

I would like to but I only have the one that is on my cooker. I have found them to be hard to deal with myself. It just so happens that a friend of mine bought the buy one get one free special. Since she went for that offer,they would only give you one set of utensils. I called the number I had gotten off of the internet and the gentleman said I had the wrong department and he connected me to the right department but, honest to goodness I waited to talk to someone about ordering just the utensils and some of the other acessores for mine.This is no joke but after waiting on the phone for 15 minutes or more I just hung up the phone and gave up. I like to fix omlette's with mine but there is a problem with that. When I go to make omletes the bottom is done but the top is still like raw eggs. I have seen the commercial but what I find kind of strange that they can cook a steak in it. It looks like to me the bottom would burn and top wouldn't get done? What I find strange is that they don't even use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. That is very risky. Someone could get really sick eating food that hasn't met the health standards. I am going to use mine until it dies and then I will have no further contact with the company. Maybe someone that has had better luck with theirs would be able to suit you. I am sorry I couldn't be of any help.

How I cook basmati: soak for at least 20 mins to half hour in cold water. Drain and then add to a pot of boiling water and cook for 6 minutes ( amount of water is inconsequential, just as long as it is covered by half again as much rice) drain and then add to a frying pan that has 1 tbsp olive oil and at least 2 tbsp of water. Put a lid on that has been wrapped in a kitchen towel. Cook over low heat for15 minutes. Test before removing from heat. Rice should be dry and tender. And some of the bottom will be a crisp texture. Absolutely yummy!

I usually cook black beans, pinto beans or lentils. I soak over night and cook for 15 minutes on high pressure with natural cool down. Come out perfectly for me. Soft, but not mushy.

Hi,Depends on batter type and cook time for idly to be soft.Well, if you are making the batter yourself then let the batter ferment overnight, as in US the climate is quite cold and hence fermentation is too slow. Additionally you can add baking powder.Now, if you are using batter from Indian shops they are fermented already. In that case focus on your cook time, microwave for 3 mins first and check if they are done. most likely they will be lil' raw, in that case microwave for another 2mins. Dont open it instantly. Let it be cover for a min and then open.Do let me know if you have any other question.ThanksChinmayee Hi,Depends on batter type and cook time for idly to be soft.Well, if you are making the batter yourself then let the batter ferment overnight, as in US the climate is quite cold and hence fermentation is too slow.

Place the eggs in the cups after you have lightly buttered each cup. Add about 1/2 water to a 10" fry pan that you have a lid for. Burner on med. high bring to a boil, add Norpro Poacher to the pan, cover and cook for about 3 min. Do not let the water boil to supper bubbly. Check eggs for doneness, yolk should be still soft and whites cooked. Will take practice to learn cooking time as each stove is different with heat controls. Add to a toasted English muffin with very thin deli turkey and ham slices, top with egg and lemony hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict, yummy. I also allow my eggs to become close to room temp before using. Hope this helps. Takes Practice. Place the eggs in the cups after you have lightly buttered each cup.

Hi, I have the Hamilton Beach 33140 oval slow cooker. It doesn't come with recipes, but it does have guidelines to use the slow cooker. If you follow the exact guidelines, your food cooks faster than stated, so check after 2 hours on high. Enjoy.

You need to prepare to steam or cook the vegetables. Then put them on top of the rice after adding water in the cooker.
