Rice cookers can make more than just rice, but (unsurprisingly) they do make rice really well. If you’ve grown bored of serving your standard boiled rice with dinner, however, know that there are some super-easy ways to elevate that old favourite.

How to make tomato rice in a rice cooker
The below video walks you through the process, but in a nutshell, you want to chuck a whole tomato on top of your rice (with as much water as your rice cooker’s manufacturer recommends), along with a little oil and some salt and pepper.

Enjoy, friends.
