so i tried another experiment.
was delighted to see a small can of corn kernels at the supermarket, so it gave me an idea.
bought a small box of instant pancake mix, the one that's marked "just add water".
then, instead of water, i used a small can of evaporated milk.
when i mixed the instant pancake mix, evaporated milk and canned corn kernels in a bowl, i noticed it was too thick, so i added a bit of the corn kernel juice.
i greased the rice cooker pot with margarine before pouring the mixture in.
i also put aluminum foil before covering the rice cooker and pressing 'cook'.
when it switched to 'keep warm', i checked inside. it has risen, but the top is uncooked.
i waited for a few minutes then clicked 'cook' again.
when it switched to 'keep warm' again, i pierced the cake with a fork and it came out clean.
to be sure, i clicked 'cook' again.
result? the bottom was a little burnt. hahaha!
but, hey, the rest was "dry!"
maybe i'll try pressing 'cook' just once next time just let it bake on its own.
maybe i'll also put some of the corn on top next time.

i actually did this before but put waxed paper at the bottom. this time, i tried just greasing it with margarine, hoping it will result in a smoother bottom with no wrinkles from the paper, but i guess i'll have to go back to lining with paper..

@hereandthere Is a rice cooker pot the same as a crock pot?

@shaggin oh, no. a crock pot would be a slow cooker.

@hereandthere I've seen mixes like that too! Actually, sometimes I will use chicken or beef broth instead of water to cook the rice.

i've seen mixes that you add to the rice so it comes out "flavored"
it's was okay.

we used to cook rice in a pot (kaldero) on the stove every day, yet i could never master it, so i'm eternally grateful to the inventor of the rice cooker! hahaha!
i guess it's not really cornbread, nor corn muffin, so corn pancake? hahaha!

@Teekaaa i've always like the toasted and slightly burnt parts of bread, the top, sides and bottom. i like the crunch and the slightly bitter taste. but of course i don't eat any charred, blackened parts!

hey, there. long time, no see. i can avoid the burnt bottom by lining it next time, but the rest was actually okay because there were no uncooked parts.

I thought it was steamed in rice cooker. I haven't try pancakes with corn. This sounds yummy

this is probably the 3rd time i "baked" something in the rice cooker. my peg was the kenny rogers muffin, but shaped like a round thick pancake. he-he.

it's not outstanding since i'm not really a baker, but not bad, either! i might try creamed corn next time, but it would be nice if they also come in a smaller can.
