Dharshini Somasundaram ahhhh thanks for the tip! I was unaware and should definitely branch out and do more cooking with those spices! I love a good curry!! 🍲
Puuurfect pot of Brown Rice on my very first shot at even using my Crock Pot Express. Love your video. Clean. No fluff. And straight to the point. YOU GO GIRL!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 THANK YOU
Whoooo hooooo!!! You just made my New Year! Had to take a break from some of the negative, but it’s beautiful reviewers like you that keep me going! 💃🏻 Thanks for the multiple comments. I’m so glad you’re here and a part of this community!!! We need more thought-provoking positive inspiration! 😉💖🥰
I have been avoiding using my multi cooker due to some cooking fails. Your channel is helping me find more uses and I’m getting better cooking with it. Thank you!
I've been trying to find the perfect cook time for brown rice in my Crock Pot Express, but it never came out quite right. I watched you video and immediately tried your instructions and it is indeed soft and fluffy with just a little bite. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you, Brian for the positive feedback and taking the time to leave a comment! It’s always so helpful for others to know from someone other than me that it really is a great recipe!!! Lol Such a simple and foolproof way to cook rice!
Hello! Just found your channel.mThank you for all,of your demos! I’m very excited to make the mushroom rice. It looked amazing. Looking forward to more of your videos. 😊💕
YAY! So glad you found me and it’s great to “meet” you! I’ve taken some time off, but my first new video will be up on the channel on Thursday! Excited to get back to filming and looking forward to chatting more in the future! Happy New Year! 🥳
I've put you on my prayer list and will pray specifically for clear scans on Monday! My dear friends 2 year old has been in the PICU since before Christmas with liver cancer. Her name is Kerry. Prayers would be very much appreciated for her! Hugs to you and be proud of your strong brave fight, Vicki!
Hi, Thanks for the help again. I tried my new CPE today and cooked rice and a whole chicken and it turned out great 😊 the rice didn't stick at all. I was quite surprised. How long do you think would it take to cook chicken wings? About 15min should be enough? Want to try it and unfortunately I don't see too many recipes yet with the CPE. I will also try to create some recipes too 😁
regina this just made me so happy! 🥳 I’m assuming you cooked the two separately?!?! Haven’t attempted a whole chicken yet, but have been excited to and it’s on my to-do list! I actually taped a video for wings and haven’t gotten around to it yet! I have made them several times in the Express Crock! If thawed 10 min and if frozen I do 12. I tried them at 15 and they were fine but too soft for my preference and some just fell apart. I don’t think they need that much time especially if you put them under the broiler or in the air fryer! Can’t wait to hear about your creations! Let me know if you come up with any recipes that are a 💯! Happy cooking!!!
@@crockpotempire yes I cooked the rice first and kept it warm. I did figure 15min might be too long. I also want to cook it without sauce. Just enough for them to be ready, and add the sauce then and eventually broil it. I can't wait to see more videos of you 😊 I'll definitely let you know. Now I have leftover rice from today and going to make fried rice tomorrow 😬
Hi great rice cooking measurements . I had only one question- Is the inner pot safely cleaned in dishwasher?? I am very scared to put it in my dishwasher, and dose any dishwasher pod ok to wash the pot ?
having problems when cooking rice, I add the amount of water you suggest but by the time the crockpot express heats up and then starts cooking I find that the rice has stuck to the bottom, do the times you give include heating time? thanks for help.
Thanks so much! Another viewer has mentioned this and it's on my list to try it. I haven't been cooking much rice recently, but when I do this is first up! I appreciate the comment and seconding the yummy tip! 💖
I have just found this very interesting tutorial. What is One and one quart of water. How many cups is that please? Sorry to have to ask but want to get it right.
Never be afraid to ask! It is 1-1/4 cups of water to one cup of rice. So 1 cup plus a 1/4 cup which equates to 200 millimeters, 10 ounces or 20 tablespoons for reference! Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy!!! 💖
Hello fantastic I have a question I bought a crockpot express and the first time I used it I managed to cook some veggies . But since every time I try and cook something ( a vegan chili and brown rice ) a disaster. I seal the pressure button but it takes a long time heating and while eating a huge amount of steam comes out and the food is either not cooked ( for my brown rice ) or for my vegan chili the liquid the was overflowing . Anyone can help me ? I tried to find a video where it is shown every step of how to use it but I can’t find one 😢. Thank you 🙏
Hi Gabe! The timer always counts down and then will beep a few times indicating that it's done. Then it will count upward as it does a natural release until you release the pressure and press stop.

If I want to make Mexican rice with chicken stock and tomato sauce would I use some of the tomato sauce in place of some of the chicken stock or would I need that exact amount of liquid and the tomato sauce be extra?
OutlawMustard22 Great question! This rice is very different which is why it didn’t make this video! It’s a whole recipe on its own and I’ve been working on perfecting it along with my Jambalaya! YUM! The tomato sauce is too thick and DOES NOT take the place of the chicken stock so the tomato sauce is extra! I would sauté half an onion and some garlic in a TBSP of oil and do 1 and 1/4 cup stock and an 8 oz can tomato sauce! Throw in some cumin and chili powder, too! 🎉
@@crockpotempire Thank you for raising this question. As a novice , although 75 years of age, can you please give us an exact recipe for making the Mexican rice on your UA-cam channel please. I think it is a tad more complicated than the basic rice you have shown above. I will definitely try the brown rice as have some in the cupboard and I keep getting told this is better for you.
@@bernadettec6386 I would be happy to and have added it to my list of to do videos! I hope you enjoy the brown rice. IMO, I don't think it is that much more healthy for you. If you're interested you should read my blog post all about the different types of rice here: www.crockpotempire.com/brown-rice-vs-white-rice-which-one-is-really-better-for-you/
The instruction guide says brown rice takes longer than white and wild rice is the same as brown. I have white rice mixed with wild so do I just do it the same as I hate rice over cooked
Hi Anne! No, I would not cook white and wild rice together. Just as you said, wild needs much more cooking time (actually even more than brown!) and your white rice will turn out overcooked.
Anne Jones is there a brand name? That may be able to help me try to come up with a solution for you! If there is more white I would try one cup of the rice with 1 and 1/4 cup water and see how it does! Experimenting can be fun!
@@crockpotempire I cant remember the name of it. Just saw it in Tesco's and thought it looked interesting. Took it over to my sons with some other stuff for him to try and was going to get myself another one as I thought wild was healthier.
@@crockpotempire found it online. Tesco's easy cook long grain white rice with wild rice. If I remember it said 75g to 175 ml but that is for the stove top
Hint - when you are detailing quantities try to speak slowly and clearly! I have replayed the adding water bit so many times and all I get is "one cup and a **************" That's why I have now given up and unsubscribed!
For the rice color you can use turmeric or saffron also.
Dharshini Somasundaram ahhhh thanks for the tip! I was unaware and should definitely branch out and do more cooking with those spices! I love a good curry!! 🍲

Thank you!! Very very helpful! Super excited to give it another try! 😁
You're so welcome! I can't wait for you to try it either! Thank you so much for requesting it...please stop back by and let us know what you think! 🍚
@@crockpotempire Definitely will do! Again thanks you're awesome!
tried a few times making rice with the crockpot and always failed, I hope with your method and water ratio i'll be more sucessful :)
Hi! Do you have to increase the time for brown rice if you double the recipe? Thanks!
I would like to know, as well

It can be colored with turmeric
What is a "natural pressure release?" And how do you do it? Thanks!
Hi great rice cooking measurements . I had only one question-
Is the inner pot safely cleaned in dishwasher??
I am very scared to put it in my dishwasher, and dose any dishwasher pod ok to wash the pot ?
Hey.. I read even in the manual it says you can put it in the dishwasher, but gently handwashing it is preferred to preserve the non-stick coat. 👍
Cooking this recipe for white rice as we speak (eh, I type 😉)!
having problems when cooking rice, I add the amount of water you suggest but by the time the crockpot express heats up and then starts cooking I find that the rice has stuck to the bottom, do the times you give include heating time? thanks for help.
For yellow rice, if food colour is not available, you can use 1/2 to 1 tsp turmeric powder. Yellow rice is my favourite 😍
Thanks so much! Another viewer has mentioned this and it's on my list to try it. I haven't been cooking much rice recently, but when I do this is first up! I appreciate the comment and seconding the yummy tip! 💖
Can I cook white rice on High pressure?
I have just found this very interesting tutorial. What is One and one quart of water. How many cups is that please? Sorry to have to ask but want to get it right.

Does the timer count down ? Or does it say heat on the screen until its done cooking?
Hi Gabe! The timer always counts down and then will beep a few times indicating that it's done. Then it will count upward as it does a natural release until you release the pressure and press stop.
