Notes

  • Please note that this recipe has changed considerably since it originally posted. While many found success in making it the original way, with dry rice, others were not. After extensie recipe testing, we were not able to get consistent results with different brands of rice and slow cookers, so we changed the recipe. If you are looking for the original recipe, it is posted below.  Please note there was an error and it was to cook for 4 hours on high, 6 on low.
