I didn’t have a reason to make rice in a slow cooker. It was something that I just wanted to try it. I usually just make rice on the stove top and most times I get it right. I don’t have a fancy rice cooker.
My slow cooker was sitting there with that ‘use me’ look on it’s face so I fired it up, added the rice and a few other ingredients. In just over 6 hours, I had a big ole batch of cooked rice. I can’t imagine anything any easier!
The No Boo-Boo Zone
It ain’t fancy, but slow cooker rice is exactly what I was looking for: a big batch of rice with no fuss and little chance of me making a boo-boo. I needed the rice for an upcoming dinner. Time would be tight and I knew that if I made the rice last minute, when the pressure was high, I might over or under cook it and I wouldn’t have time to re-make it. So I just cooked it a day in advance and kept it in the fridge overnight. It was just as good leftover.
Slow cooker rice is perfect served with chicken sauce piquante.
