Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup long-grain white rice (e.g., jasmine or basmati)
- 2 cups water or broth
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (optional)
- pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until it runs clear.
- Grease the bottom and sides of the slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
- Combine the rinsed rice, water or broth, and a pinch of salt in the slow cooker, stirring gently.
- Cover and cook on high for 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours, until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, use broth instead of water.
Do not skip rinsing the rice; it removes excess starch for better texture.
Adjust cooking time based on your slow cooker settings.
