WHAT IS A FRITTATA?

A frittata is an egg dish that pretty closely resembles an open faced omelette – or a quiche minus the crust (yes, crustless quiche is a thing!).

Italian in origin, there’s no limit to the ingredients you can add to a frittata.

Fun fact: the word frittata loosely translates to ‘fried’ in Italian.

Now, while we don’t want to go messing with tradition too much, we’ve got a recipe for a delicious cheesy bacon and potato frittata you can make without resorting to the frying pan.

HOW TO MAKE A FRITTATA IN A RICE COOKER

It’s not often that you think of potato recipes when you think of your rice cooker, right?

Well, we’re here to change all that!

You see, Tiger rice cookers are capable little kitchen appliances that can take on all kinds of cooking challenges, regardless of the ingredients.

In fact, it’s this precisely versatility that makes us fond of calling them multi-cookers.

Anyway, to make this potato frittata recipe in your rice cooker, simply place the ingredients for your frittata in the Tacook cooking plate. Set that on top of the inner pot that has your rinsed rice and water.

When you use the Synchro-Cooking setting, the vapor created from the steaming rice cooks your bacon and potato frittata at the same time!

It’s not quite magic… but it sure tastes like it!
