Don't let the name rice cooker fool you; this small appliances can do a number of things including steam vegetables, make stews, chili and other tastey dishes. Easy to clean and removable parts are dishwasher safe. I really like the handle, as it doesn't get hot during the cooking process.

This one pot has the ability to do three things...rice cooker, slow cooker and steamer. Has a programmable control panel. Can make up to 20 cups of rice. Includes recipes. (via crateandbarrel.com)
