Set your slow cooker to high heat. The old saying that rice should be cooked low and slow is true. Since slow cookers already make use of low temperatures to heat food gradually, however, the highest heat setting will still be considerably cooler than a conventional rice cooker.

Measure out the amount of rice you want to cook in dry cups. Using whole cup increments will make it easier to get the water-to-rice ratio just right. 1 cup (190 g) of rice (cooked) is a standard serving for 1 person. Plan on using ½-1 cup (95-190 g) extra for each additional person you’re feeding. Cook on high for about 1.5-2.5 hours. Stir the rice occasionally as it cooks but if you can’t, it will still fluff up nicely when it’s finished! Can I make rice pudding in the slow cooker?

Wash your rice thoroughly to remove excess starch. Place your pre-portioned rice into a fine mesh sieve and run a stream of cool water over the top, moving the sieve slowly to make sure the water touches every last grain. Continue rinsing your rice until the water runs clean, then shake the sieve a few times to get rid of excess water.

Bring your water to a boil before adding it to your rice (optional). Some slow cooker aficionados swear by preheating the water for their rice. If you want to give this method a shot, heat some water in a kettle on the stovetop, then pour it into a glass liquid measuring cup to make sure you’re using the correct amount. [4] X Research source
