I am kitchen gadget queen - due to not wanting to handle boiling water/hot pans with baby-wearing and toddler snaking around my ankles.
I have two slowcookers and an actifry. Rice and veggies are generally cooked in freezer-to-microwave pouches - but I think maybe a gadget would be a more civilized solution.
DD1 sadly said 'we never ear broccoli any more'! I want my child to eat broccoli tomorrow! it is essential to my self-esteem as a parent!
Should I buy
A) a steamer (£20 ish) and use that to also cook rice (I'm dubious it'd work. I sometimes cook slowcooker rice - and its a bit hit& miss)
B) A rice cooker (£20 ish) - and occasionally experiment with cooking veg in it (is that possible?). I know Indian friends of mine wouldn't be without their rice cooker - so I guess a single-function gadget does that job really well..?
C) both of the above
D) Tefal Multicooker (£55) which claims to do both functions - but I distrust multifunction devices - and the bowl capacity looks a bit weedy for my hungry family.
Help please!
