It really cuts down on the dinner prep time which is so handy w/ a four-year-old who's ravenous when we get home!City Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810190793006825345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783332557197976942.post-64024596375995503292009-08-01T18:04:14.427-05:002009-08-01T18:04:14.427-05:00You don't even need a rice cooker.
