Brown rice in the crockpot?

I saw this on the internet and tried it today.

Spray slow cooker with Pam.

Put in cooker:
2 cups brown rice
5 cups water
1/2 teas. salt

Cook on high for 3 hours, without lifting cover.


Okay, keeping in mind that slow cookers vary, I read some reviews where people said it was perfect and some said it was a flop.

I have a 6 quart oval cooker and it was a flop for me. I checked after 2 hours and 15 minutes and the rice was a mushy glop.

I tossed it all (too much rice anyway) and did the 1 cup rice to 2 cups water on the stove top for 35 minutes. Perfect.

Has anyone here done this successfully?

I haven't tried that - I got myself a good rice steamer on ebay years ago, which does brown rice. It sounds hit or miss.

I have never used any kind of rice cooker/steamer. I never have a problem cooking rice on the stove. I always do the 2 parts water to 1 part rice.
