I steam meatballs in the rice cooker. That way, they are light, fluffy, much lower in fat (it's all floating on the top of the water) and are set, so they can just be dropped in whatever sauce just before serving without being burned or broken up during cooking.

But then again, I do use my rice cooker more than anything else in the kitchen - other than the kettle

A tiny bit of cornflour slaked in water added to both the bechamel and the meat whilst cooking - or arrowroot if you prefer - will help everything to firm up.

I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
