Cook Grain with a slow cooker - PEP BB food.sand.grain.rice

I only thought to take pictures once the rice had already started cooking so I didn’t take any pictures of me washing the rice but I did. Then I added the water and pressed the button. Just bought this stainless steel rice cooker as I’m working on removing all toxic cookware.

I cooked two cups of white rice in my 7-quart crock pot. It took only a couple hours. I fermented the rice for a couple days first. It was delicious!

First I measured out two cups of white rice in a jar and filled with water.



After a couple days, I rinsed the rice and put it in the crock pot with four cups of water, a bit of butter, and a bit of salt and set to low.





It didn't take long to cook at all and it didn't heat up my house too much.



All done!

I wanted to make chicken and rice with a stew hen I got from a farmers market peer. Figured I should start these bbs so made the rice in the crockpot. 2 cups of brown rice covered with 4+ cups of hot chicken broth from said hen, some bay leaves, salt and spices too. yum yum

Hi everyone,

Here's my submission for cooking grains with a slow cooker. My grain of choice is Japanese Genmai rice. I prefer is to regular short grain as it's got a nice chewy texture and a lot more fibre.

Thank you for reviewing my submission!

EDIT: Since the requirements updated this morning I went away and did some research on my rice-cooker. The bowl itself has 3 layers, one outer steel one for IH conductivity, an iron core to hold heat, and an aluminum liner. There is a ceramic coating on top of the liner, so it isn't in direct contact with the food, but if any of this coating wears off then it would be. While it's currently in tact I will be looking at replacing it when I have a bit more financial freedom.

I realize that this is likely an edge case from the above information I have provided, and hope that judgement on this particular submission can help further define whether ceramic coated aluminum bowls are classed as "food touching aluminum" or not, as this is a very common construction for modern rice cookers in general.

From this point on we no longer allow anything that looks like it might be teflon or a teflon variation.  So in the future, stuff like above where the product says "it's a ceramic coating!" we are gonna say "no."  

However, a full on crock pot, with the crock that has a glassy interior - that is good to go.
