Slow Cooker Rice

Making rice in a slow cooker is an easy method that yields great results every single time and needs little to no attention!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice or basmati rice
• 1 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 tablespoon neutral oil such as vegetable or grapeseed oil
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup brown or wild rice
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 tablespoon neutral oil such as vegetable or grapeseed oil
• Pinch of salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Directions for jasmine rice and basmati rice ---
2. 2Put the rice in a rice washing bowl or a fine mesh sieve, and rinse the rice under cold water. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear and drain well.
3. 3Place the rice in the slow cooker along with the water, oil, and salt.
4. 4Mix and cover with a lid.
5. 5Cook on low for 1 ½ to 2 hours. After 1 hour, open the lid and stir the rice.
6. 6When the cooking is done, check and see if there’s any water left and if the rice is tender. If it’s still crunchy, put the lid back on and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. If it’s dry and crunchy, add a little more water (2-3 tablespoons) and cook for 15-30 minutes.
7. 7Open the lid and fluff the rice using wooden chopsticks. I don’t recommend using a metal fork since it may end up scratching the pot. Serve.

9. 9Put the rice in a rice washing bowl or a fine mesh sieve, and briefly rinse under cold water (3-4 swishes should do it). Drain and transfer the rice to the slow cooker.

11. 11Cook on low for 2 ½ to 3 hours until the rice is tender.
12. 12If there is still water at the bottom of the rice cooker, put the lid back on and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. If it’s dry and crunchy, add a little more water (about ⅓ cup of water) and cook for 20-30 minutes.
