How much time do you spending cooking/grilling?

Let the rice cooker do the rice, and you have a pretty simple but great asian meal in less than 45 min. Same goes with really any type of food other that cuts of meat that MUST be slow cooked in order to be good, like roasts. A meal like the one I mentioned is fairly inexpensive too.

I usually keep some cooked rice in the fridge so I don't have to wait on the rice cooker.
