If you’re looking for a comforting, easy-to-make side dish that practically cooks itself, slow cooker rice is your new best friend. This hands-off method lets you enjoy perfectly fluffy, flavorful rice with minimal effort—freeing up your time to focus on the main course or relax.
Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just want a hassle-free kitchen win, this slow cooker rice recipe is the ultimate solution. It’s versatile, forgiving, and delivers consistent results every time.
🌟 Why Slow Cooker Rice?
- Effortless Cooking: Just add your ingredients, set the timer, and let the slow cooker do the rest.
- Perfect Texture: Slow cooking prevents burning and sticking, giving you fluffy, tender rice.
- Flavor Infusion: Cooking rice slowly allows it to soak up any added herbs, spices, or broth for richer taste.
🥘 Ingredients:
- 2 cups long-grain white rice (or jasmine/basmati for aroma)
- 3 cups water or broth (chicken, vegetable, or beef)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional: minced garlic, diced onions, herbs (like thyme or parsley) for extra flavor
🧑🍳 Instructions:
- Rinse the Rice: Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until it runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
- Combine Ingredients: Add rice, water or broth, butter, salt, and any optional flavorings to your slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. Check occasionally after 2 hours to ensure rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff and Serve: When done, fluff the rice with a fork. If needed, add a splash more broth and cook a little longer for desired texture.
