Salton Micom Rice Cooker Directions:

We used our Salton Micom Rice Cooker for this recipe, and it worked like a charm! If you’re in the market for a rice cooker, we can’t recommend this one enough. Not only does it work well, but it also is super sleek and pretty!
  1. Place the rice, hot water, vegan bouillon, and vermouth into the rice cooker.
  2. Plug in your Salton Multifunction Micom Rice Cooker and close the lid. Press Menu until the Steel Cut Oats setting is illuminated. The preset time of 20 minutes will appear. When it does, press Start. Let cook until the cycle has completed and has shifted to Warm setting. 
  3. Let rice sit with cover remaining on the rice cooker until the rice is completely tender, about 10 minutes more.
  4. Transfer risotto to a large bowl and sprinkle vegan Parmesan and peas over the rice and stir. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
