Baby Back Ribs in Rice Cooker

14 pieces of cut baby back ribs, salted + browned on all sides on frypan
1.5 onions - big chop, salted + browned on frypan til translucent and slight brown
1/2 kabucha - big chop, skin on

Drop everything into  rice cooker with liquids


1/4 cup soy sauce
1 T of brown sugar
2 cups water

water goes to about 3/4 way up stuff...stuff about 3/4 up rice cooker

rice cooker set to "white rice" and it got error message after about 3 hrs of cooking...

turned it off and the meat was fall off the bone tender....maybe slightly too overcooked as it started to dry out a bit...good flavor but the the pumpkin was too salty because of it sitting in the soy sauce for so long...all the liquid was gone...just few drops left

next time:
- put the pumpkin in later or not at all
- try "wellbeing" or "steam" setting instead as i think the "white rice" setting basically just cooks until the liquid is all gone
