Boiled Eggs In The Rice Cooker!

So, I was able to replace my rice cooker with an older model, National Brand 10 c. cooker ($4.99 at Goodwill - it took almost a dozen thrift store trips to find a decent one). It works pretty well, although the rice seems to get darker on the bottom than it did in my last cooker.

As I was looking around on the internet for information on National (a division of Panasonic) rice cookers, I came across an interesting hint. When you're cooking rice, or whatever, you can add eggs along with it, right on top, to get hard boiled eggs. I tried an egg and it worked. I think I'll like this trick especially for when I make oatmeal in the rice cooker, and want to have some added protein along with it.
