Notes
Notes:
Cooked rice left in the slow cooker will become mushy and and/or can burn to side of slow cooker
**Brown rice can be made this way as well. Cooking time will need to be increased by about a half hour depending on your slow cooker.
Once water is fully absorbed, promptly remove from the heating element and fluff with a fork. If you allow it to cook longer, it will quickly get mushy.
