Slow cooker rice question:
A few person have mentioned seeing rice cooked in a slow cooker and finding it come out too wet. The recipe that most people use are a 1:2 ratio of rice to water and cooking on High for around 2.5 hour. This tend to lead to rice that is too wet because the slow cooker dont allow for the water to evaporate like a pot of boiling water would.
The suggestion is to use a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio and cooking on Low for around 3.5 hours. This will provide rice with a better texture then the rice that cooks in the slow cooker using the other method.
Has anyone tried cooking rice in a slow cooker with these suggested alteration? Does it work in all slow cookers or does it have to be adjusted for the size of the slow cooker (especially the 6qt sized crockpot)?
