Basmati rice usually needs 3 cups of liquid for 2 cups of rice.
Cooking basmati rice in the slow cooker
Peek in on your food whilst its cooking in the crockpot. ALL CLAD (metal) slow cooker cooks differently than a ceramic slow cooker.
Rice can come out burnt around the edges. Mushy in the middle. Dried up in uneatable chunks. It's not so simple to just dump in rice and cook. If you have a recipe that it is possible, let me know! lorraine.pinkard@gmail.com
Just an FYI in the slow cooker, if you add chicken
You can use chicken drumsticks, chicken breasts, or chicken thighs, if you do, I recommend leaving the bone in and removing the skin.
You can easily remove the skin yourself. Just pull off the raw skin before cooking -it should slip right off.
If you leave the skin on while the chicken and rice is cooking in the slow cooker, after the cooking time, place the chicken thighs on a cookie sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes or until skin is brown and crispy. Or pan fry on high with coconut oil.
