  I do not understand all the unnecessary remarks. Perhaps a rice cooker is easier; however, if you don't have one.....use a crockpot. My suggestion - if you don't have a positive comment....don't comment! Thanks & have a blessed day! - 6/27/12

  Mmmmm...going to have to try this! I bet it'd work great for a wild rice mix too! My mom always freezes her unused rice into small portions to use for a quick lunch or single serving supper...make up some stir fry veg or something and you're good to go! - 9/10/12

  I use my slow cooker all the time, but I don't cook rice often enough to need a rice cooker........so this is a great idea for me!!! Thanks for the wonderful suggestion!!! Darla - 9/10/12

  Just made this today and it is delicious!! I had to add about 25 minutes on to the time-that is probably because of my crock pot. - 5/9/12

  Great! I absolutely hate hanging around waiting for rice to cook. This way I can cook enough for a few meals, leave it and come back later knowing I haven't set the stove on fire because I forgot all about it. LOL! - 5/9/12

  i cant wait to try this, i never make brown rice because it takes so long.
  if you have a rice cooker- goody for you, some of us cant afford the extra appliance or the extra counter/cabinet space. i already keep my slow cooker on the top shelf in the bedroom. no room up there for a rice cooker too - 9/18/12

  Hey, just want to let everyone know that the calories for this is off. 1/4 cup brown rice DRY is a serving which is 160 cals. so this has 640 cals of rice in it total. Nutri info tried to make the comparison with 8 cups cooked rice which is 860 cals. - 12/3/12

  Hmm... I have a rice cooker but sometimes it does come out mushy. I wonder if boiling the stock (or coconut milk for curry!) first will help. I bet it would. Great tip, Meg! - 9/10/12

  Great idea - I've thought about a rice cooker but I really don't have any extra storage space. My slow cooker already fits - 9/18/12

  I like this idea - sure would free up my rice cooker/veggie steamer for doing the veggies closer to mealtime, while getting the rice going earlier on.
  
  Thank you for sharing this great idea! - 9/18/12

  A slow cooker for rice is pretty unnecessary... You can use a rice cooker (very inexpensive in Target or Walmart), and it takes a fraction of the time and you can still set it up and walk away until you are ready to eat. Its also a LOT easier to clean. - 5/16/12

  I don't know what I did but the first time I did this it had too much water and I ended up cooking on stove. Thought I would try again the same way and it came out perfect; must have been my error first time and glad I decided to try again. Thanks for the tip abt freezing portions of r - 2/18/13

  For me the whole point of using the slow cooker is to not have to use my stove. Also, can I use my Crock Pot which is smaller in size? Thanks - 3/25/12

  I don't get Kylar Starn's comment on the cals. This recipe yields eight servings (1/2 cup each) of cooked rice which technically would be about 80 cal just for the rice alone. Personally I don't see anything wrong with the Nutritional info for this recipe. - 1/11/13

  We have a rice cooker which we have used for white rice. Just started transitioning to brown rice by using Trader Joe heat and eat brown rice. Making a larger quantity of brown rice in the rice cooker and storing the leftovers soon will happen. - 9/22/12

  after 2 1/4 hours the rice is still not soft and it's still under water. I put it on high too. I wonder if it would have worked better if I'd brought everything to the boil, not just the brother, before putting it in slow cooker? Smells good, but I don't know when it'll be ready to eat... - 9/12/12
