rice pudding in slow cooker

Amanda65

Hi all

Really fancy trying out the rice pudding in the slow cooker tonight and just wondered what size slow cookers you all have for the quantities given on this site? I have a very big (6.5l) MR cooker and just have a vision of the quantities given getting lost on the bottom.

Also wondered how long you cook it for ?

Thanks

Bit impatient and couldn't wait Have doubled a recipe I found on here and put in 200g pudding rice, 2 litres milk and 160g sugar. Am going to put on low tonight before I go to bed so it will be ready to take out and wash the SC in time for my beefy stew tomorrow :T

Give it a good stir to loosen the grains before you go to bed.

Thanks - just realised that I haven't buttered the SC - should I take the stuff out and do it or try a rub some butter round and hope for the best .

Serves me right for rushing it :rotfl:

I tried rice pudding once and thank goodness I was in the house as even on low it burnt and made the house reek - I don't think I'd chance it overnight or while I was out tbh.

Now I'm worried - wonder if I should leave it until tomorrow? Mind that leaves with a problem as planned a beef stew in SC tomorrow for tea.

I have only ever made it when I am around to keep stirring tbh - it comes out creamy not with skin on (we don't like skin!):p
As TrixieB said it catches very easily so never risk leaving it unattended.
Can also do on the low heat on hob if you want a creamy rice pudding - doesn't take too long and I keep topping up with milk to make it extra creamy.
Though maybe you can put it on high now if are planning to be up for a while, keep stirring and then switch off when you go to bed?

Also thinking about it - 200g seems a lot of rice to me! I use a cup of pudding rice to about 6 pints of milk and have a big pot full.:T
Also seems to be a lot of sugar! I use about a large serving spoonful - but dad always complains is not enough. :rotfl:

I've just doubled a recipe on here. I think I'll leave it until the morning and cook on medium for about 3 hours, which will still give me time to cook my stew for tea. Thanks for all of the advice

Just wanted to say that I made the rice pudding this morning and OMG it is fantastic :j

Really creamy (despite using skimmed milk), lovely and sweet (may cut down sugar a little for future batches but no-one is complaining here ) and didn't stick at all.

There is a lot of it but with five of us in the house, all eating adult portions, I can't see it lasting long.

Thanks to everyone for the advice
