Glad to see you on the site!

To get crumbly in a slow cooker, you need very little effort on your part. In some countries it is called a rice cooker and is used primarily for cooking cereal side dishes.

The process of cooking rice is quite simple, however, there are some nuances that you need to know about. Violation of these rules leads to the fact that the rice is sticky or undercooked.

I cooked rice as a side dish for fish, so I added onions and carrots. If you are cooking rice for other uses or prefer clean rice without vegetables, then you can exclude these ingredients. This recipe can also be used when making sushi.

Ingredients for fried rice:

  1. Rice (long grain) - 2 tbsp.;
  2. Drinking water - 4 tbsp.;
  3. Medium carrot - 2 pcs.;
  4. Salt to taste;
  5. A little sunflower or butter.


Loose rice in a slow cooker - a step by step recipe:

For successful rice, it is important to process the grits well before cooking. Pour the rice into a bowl and carefully sort through. Then we pour the rice into a colander and substitute under a stream of running cold water. Mine, stirring, until clean, clear water flows from under the colander. Often crumbly rice does not work due to poorly washed cereals. Some housewives soak rice before cooking. I do not advise doing this, because. there is a high probability that the cereal will boil soft.

Now wash and clean the vegetables. Three large carrots or cut into small cubes. We do the same with onions.

At the bottom of the multicooker bowl, pour 2-3 tbsp. l. sunflower oil. We turn on the "Frying" mode. Put the carrot into the hot oil and fry it for 2-3 minutes. Then add the onion and fry the vegetables until the onion is soft and translucent. I don't recommend over frying vegetables.


We switch the multicooker to standby mode and load the washed rice.


Pour rice

Fill the bowl with water, salt. It is very important to observe the proportions of liquid and rice (2: 1). Instead of water, you can use vegetable or meat broth.


If you have not done vegetable frying, then be sure to add a piece of butter or a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. This is necessary so that the grains do not stick together during cooking.

If you want to get rice in an oriental way, then rice can be seasoned with turmeric, curry or saffron.

We mix the contents of the saucepan, close the lid and set the "Rice / Buckwheat" mode for 40 minutes. In the process of cooking rice, you can not interfere, but I could not stand it and mixed it once.

After the finish signal, I advise you to disconnect the multicooker from the network, because. on heating, which automatically turns on, the rice will turn into an unappetizing boiled mass. And if the lid is left tightly closed, then the rice will remain warm for another two hours.


The result is a delicious side dish for any meal. You can also cook any kind of rice (round, steamed, brown, wild or a mixture of them) or buckwheat for. Agree that cooking friable rice in a slow cooker is much easier and faster than on the stove. Yes, and its taste qualities are more widely opened in a slow cooker than in a regular saucepan.

E This dish was cooked in a Philips HD3039 4L 980W Multicooker.

Bon appetit everyone!

How do you cook rice? The majority of the population will answer this question something like this: “We wash the rice, put it in a pot of boiling (or cold) salted water, cook until tender, put it in a colander, rinse it.” Do you know that this way of cooking rice is fundamentally wrong? Any cereal, including rice, must be boiled like buckwheat, evaporating water. This method leaves all the useful substances in rice, which we drain together with water from cooking into the sink. And it also allows you to cook crumbly, slightly sticky, slightly dense, not overcooked rice - an ideal side dish for fish, seafood, meat and poultry.

And what, if not a multicooker, will cope with this task best of all? No wonder, because the closest relative of the multicooker is the rice cooker - the invention of Japanese engineers (and this is understandable, because for the Japanese, Chinese and Koreans, rice is what potatoes are for us). And yet, despite the fact that the slow cooker is an obscenely smart device, it will not work to cook rice in it without applying the necessary minimum of effort.

1. First, decide on the variety: round-grain rice will turn out to be “juicy”, slightly sticky, steamed long-grain, on the contrary, dry and crumbly. In addition, unpeeled or wild rice is cooked an order of magnitude longer than regular polished rice, therefore, to avoid embarrassment, carefully read the instructions on the package.

2. Then rinse the rice thoroughly in cool water. “Thoroughly” means until the water running off the rice is completely clear. Starch, not completely washed out of the cereal, will stick the rice together, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, wash the rice like this: pour the rice into a colander and lower it into a wide pan with cool water. Rinse the rice, stirring gently so that the rice does not break, then drain the water and repeat the procedure until the water runs clear. With each new portion, pour more and more warm water. After that, the rice can be soaked, this is especially important for steamed rice.

3. To obtain friable rice, it is important to choose the right amount of water. The ratio of water and rice ranges from 1:1 to 1:2, depending on the degree of friability and rice variety. Round rice boils quickly and requires less water, steamed and long-grain rice is cooked in a ratio of 1:2 or 3:5, while the amount of water for brown and wild rice must be selected in strict accordance with the instructions on the package.

4. The water with which you pour rice must be hot. When this condition is met, your rice will cook evenly, not stick together and will be quite juicy.

5. You can add a tablespoon of vegetable or butter to the water for cooking rice.

6. Steaming is the best way to cook rice. In this case, the rice will turn out really crumbly, while retaining a maximum of useful substances.

All other recommendations are optional and can be used at will. For example, rice can be flavored: add bay leaf, garlic, black peppercorns, rosemary, lemon peel or dried herbs. Rice in a slow cooker can be tinted by adding a little curry powder or saffron for a golden color, and you can also use a diluted bouillon cube instead of water. Milk is sometimes added to the water for boiling rice - the rice becomes snow-white. If "just rice" is boring for you, cook rice with vegetables - onions, carrots, sweet peppers, green peas or corn. But true connoisseurs cook rice in its “pure form”, without salt and spices, and only add salt or soy sauce- it is believed that this method allows in the best possible way reveal the taste and aroma of an ancient cereal, so loved by almost the whole world.

So, the rice is selected, washed, the slow cooker is ready. Let's cook!

It turns out that cooking rice is not so easy if you do it in a regular pan. Many housewives face this problem. Sometimes the wrong rice is chosen. Sometimes more water is poured for cooking. And sometimes it even happens that you have to stir the rice so that it does not burn. These and other moments stand in the way of proper cooking rice.

I suggest you, dear housewives, start cooking excellent rice in a slow cooker. In it, porridges always turn out tasty and properly cooked. You do not need to stir anything during the cooking process, the water evaporates in a timely manner. Rice in a slow cooker is great.

In a slow cooker, Basmati turns out to be excellent - crumbly and tasty. It also more than doubles. Such a dish will always be appropriate on your table. Basmati rice is usually prepared like this: it is washed in cold water up to seven times to get rid of cloudy water. It must become transparent. Next, pour the Basmati rice with warm water and let stand for ten minutes.

Then put the rice in a colander and let the water drain. The water in which the rice has been soaked is used for cooking. Here is such a short-term preparation of Basmati is made before cooking. Now let's proceed directly to cooking, starting with the selection of the necessary products.

Ingredients for the Fried Rice in the Multicooker:

  • - long-grain rice (Basmati) - 2 multi-cups;
  • - water - 3.5 multi-glasses;
  • - salt - to taste;
  • - butter.

The slow cooker is able to cook both crumbly rice and delicious milk porridges. Dishes that include rice are excellent in it - these are meatballs, cabbage rolls, stuffed vegetables.
