Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Please forgive me if this has been answered, but if you put rice in a slow cooker, it releases too much starch and that is where the mush comes from. I have found I don't even like to add it to soups uncooked. Everything I have read and by my own experience, rice should be cooked first, and separately, then, added to the dish before serving. Good luck! Kym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Excuse me, but are you using brown rice? White rice has a very high glycymic index, in essence, empty calories. Brown rice is a healthy food. In fact, long grain brown rice is significantly more nutritious that the more common, short grain brown rice. White rice has the fiber and the nutrition processed out of it.
