Baking with a rice cooker!

[Ce'nedra]

I find it rather fascinating that you can use a rice cooker to bake (!) a cake, bread and possibly more

Who here has tried their hand at this rice cooker magic?

Here's a video for making bread:

Holy crap thats a neat idea. Thats even better then tempering chocolate in the bread proofer!

That's really impressive. Looks good too. The settings of rice cookers are too variable, though. Mine switches to warm after the rice is cooked. I wonder if that's the way I'll leave it be if I make the bread-- baking it for a total of 3 hours at maximal heat sounds like a disaster (some of the comments aren't too helpful, either).

We use rice cookers here as steamers-- basically for rice buns, leche flan (caramel custard)
