SO, WHAT IS A FRITTATA?

At its core, a frittata is an Italian omelette. However, what sets a frittata apart from a typical omelette are two specific things:

The fillings in a frittata (like cheese, ham, veggies, etc.) are mixed in and cooked with the eggs – rather than folded into the center of an omelette.
A traditional frittata, which translates to fried in Italian, is normally started in a pan on the stovetop – and finished inside the oven.

Think of a frittata as an Italian version of a Spanish tortilla española. Or, better yet, a crustless quiche.

But today, we’re breaking rule number one. Yep – forget the stovetop/oven combo. We’re making our frittata in a rice cooker.

And it’s delicious!

HOW TO MAKE A FRITTATA IN A RICE COOKER

Now for the easy part.

This rice cooker frittata can be made in any Tiger multi cooker that comes with a Tacook plate. Bonus: you can steam your rice at the same time!

Simply place your rinsed rice and water in the inner pot of your multi cooker – and load the egg mixture into the Tacook plate. Select the Syncro-Cooking setting and press Start.

Both your rice and delicate frittata will be cooked to perfection – minus any and all guesswork.
