Somedays I’ve got it and other days I don’t! Rice is one of those things that I can never seem to be consistently ‘good’ at cooking. We prefer brown rice in our home but for some reason I just can’t seem to get it… until now! Thanks to Micki at Confessions of an ADD Housewife who recently shared the idea of cooking rice in a crockpot! I have now mastered both white rice AND brown rice! Hooray; no more crunchy brown rice for dinner! 
The recipes below are for a smaller crockpot, if you plan to use a larger one or want a larger amount of rice, just double the ingredients and increase the cooking time.
Brown Rice
Ingredients:
2 cups of brown rice
2 1/2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of olive oil (helps the grains of rice not stick together, and a healthier substitute for butter)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions:
1. Toss all the ingredients into your crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until the water cooks out and the rice is soft and fluffy.
White Rice
2 cups of white rice
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions:
1. Toss all the ingredients into your crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until the water cooks out and the rice is soft and fluffy.

I have trouble having rice turn out the same every time, but I haven’t tried it in a crock pot. I will need to try this.
I’m so glad it worked for you! And hugely glad to know it worked with brown. I love brown rice but no one else in my house does.
Thanks Micki for your idea! Try the brown…maybe your family will like it now!
I never thought to cook rice in the crockpot – I’m going to try it this week! (we eat brown rice too.) Thanks for the great share! Hope you’re having a great day!
great information. How easy in the crockpot.

I know… why didn’t we think of that earlier….
I am so eager to try this! I feel like you…..rice and I are not best of friends BUT I love to eat it! Thanks so much for all the tips and recipes you share with us! ~Blessings
Cordella- Let me know how you like it!
Thanks so much for this post! I can do white rice in a rice cooker, but brown rice is so hard to get right! I can’t wait to try this.
Same here, brown rice was not easy for me either! Can’t wait to hear how it turns out !:)
Wow. When I make brown rice need to use a lot more water than that – is it because it’s in the crock pot that you need so little? Ill definitely have to give this a try – so convenient.
Do you follow the recipe on your bag of rice?
