Ah, slow cooker rice—super easy once you get the ratios right! Here’s a simple guide to make fluffy rice in a slow cooker:
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice (like jasmine or basmati)
- 2 cups water or broth (chicken, vegetable, etc.)
- 1–2 tsp butter or oil (optional, for flavor)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse the rice – This helps prevent it from getting sticky.
- Add to slow cooker – Combine the rice, water/broth, butter/oil, and salt.
- Cook – Cover and set on low for 1.5–2 hours, or high for 1–1.5 hours.
- Avoid lifting the lid too much; slow cookers lose heat easily.
- Check and fluff – Once done, the liquid should be absorbed. Fluff with a fork and serve.
Tips
- For brown rice, increase water to 2.5 cups per cup of rice and cook on low 2.5–3 hours.
- Add herbs, garlic, or onion for extra flavor.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, check at 1.5 hours to avoid overcooked mushy rice.
