What do you make with your rice cooker?

Just wondering what sorts of things people make in their rice cookers...
I've had the same on for 21 years (wow!) and never used it for anything but rice. Then this morning in a moment of inspiration, I used it to cook roasted bucketwheat groats and they were delicious.
Would love other vegan ideas...

I'm not all too fancy with my rice cooker, and I believe it still technically counts as a type of rice, but quinoa is beautiful in a rice cooker. I like to replace my water with veggie broth and it tastes wonderful. I might actually have some for lunch today.
I often throw garbanzo beans in,or azuki beans,I soak them with baking soda overnight,so it still takes a while,but I prefer it to hovering over a pot on the stove.I also make Japonica rice with lentils.
I don't have a stove so use my rice cooker alot. I use it to make sauces, homemade soups, oatmeal, legumes, quinoa, vegan pasta and rice, of course. The trick to using it is in the lid. Basically I leave the lid on till things heat to a boil. Then I remove it to stir or simmer. I will put the lid on if I need to continue to cook higher, but I sometimes use a wood spoon between the lid and the cooker to still have a boil but not so much that it boils over. I have also used wooden clothespins. Use whatever works.
