the oats, then the honey, and stir continuously to combine.
Cook for about 5 minutes, until oats are cooked through. Add water as necessary, depending on preference for final consistency.
Pasta
    The use of salt when boiling pasta enhances the flavor of the pasta. The recommendation is about a tablespoon of salt per gallon of boiling water.
    INGREDIENTS | SERVES 2
    6 to 8 cups water
    ½ pound pasta
    1 to 2 teaspoons salt, to taste
1. Add the water to the rice cooker, cover, and set to Cook. When the water boils, lift up the rice cooker lid, add the pasta and salt, and stir the pasta gently to prevent pasta sticking to the base of the pot.
2. Cover the rice cooker and allow pasta to cook for about 8 to 12 minutes, until al dente or done to your taste.
    The “Sticky” Issue
    If your pasta is sticky, do not add oil and stir it more! Oil will not prevent the pasta from sticking and in fact, may have the undesired effect of coating the pasta, preventing it from combining well with your sauce. Pasta tends to stick together if it is not stirred during the critical first moments of cooking.
Marinara Sauce
    The base for this sauce is made from olive oil, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. Add some red chili pepper flakes to spice up the sauce.
    INGREDIENTS | SERVES 2
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 medium-sized onion, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, finely minced
    1 (14½-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with liquid
    ½ cup water or stock
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    ½ teaspoon dried oregano
    ½ teaspoon dried basil
Add oil to the rice cooker, cover, and set to Cook. When the base of the inner pot gets warm in about 3 minutes, add the onions and fry for about 5 minutes until onions are slightly soft.
Add garlic and fry for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in tomatoes and liquid, water or stock, salt, and pepper. Cover rice cooker and allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Switch to Warm when the mixture bubbles vigorously and continue on Warm setting for another 5 minutes to allow the sauce to simmer.
Sprinkle in dried oregano and basil and mix well. If serving immediately with precooked pasta, add the pasta to the pot and mix well.
Chicken Stock
    Depending on your family's typical usage, you can divide the chicken stock into smaller airtight containers, then either store in the fridge (keeps about 3 days) or store in the freezer (about 1 to 2 months).
