Making Rice Pudding with a Rice Cooker: Need Help!

[4kids4me]

Help! My daughter and I are in the middle of making the quick rice pudding. I found the recipe in the files for the rice cooker. But all the recipes for this don't call for any water. I don't know how much to use, and she's getting antsy. Right now the only liquid called for is 1tsp of vanilla. Somehow don't think that will be enough, lol. TIA!

use the search engine on CC. Look for it in a consultant newsletter within the last 2 years it's been out. I made the rice pudding in there and it was good... It had all the ingredients in there! Hope this helps!

Yeah, I can't imagine a teaspoon of vanilla doing the job!

Someone here (I have no idea who, but I will love you forever!) suggested making rice with coconut milk. I tried that last night. Great Caesar's ghost! It was amazing! I served it with chicken sauted with the Jerk Rub. Can you hear my yummy noises?

Because I know someone will ask, I always use the amount of liquid called for on my box of rice. For white rice I usually use 2 parts water to 1 part milk--so if I need 1 cup of liquid, I use 2/3 c water and 1/3 c milk. This time I used coconut milk instead of regular milk. It's very rich, so you might want to play with the proportions a bit.

Here's the PC Rice cooker recipe. It's really yummy. I like to serve it with a little freshly-grated nutmeg and some whipped cream.

If you're looking for it on CC, I found it in the P/V (Primavera/Verano - that's Spring/Summer) 2006 Una Muestra.

Cook's Tip: Rice puddings should have a creamy, milky texture which is accomplished by cooking the rice slowly. Cooking rice in our Rice Cooker Plus keeps the grains of rice separate and prevents overcooking. Rice should be cooked until “al dente” or until a little firm to the bite.

I know exactly what you are talking about- I gave a customer the rice cooker recipe booklet from here and they tried to make the quick rice pudding (which has no liquid) and they melted their rice cooker in the microwave. I just did a search on the web to find the recipe and here is what I came up with- add 3 cups of milk to the recipe and it should be ok. I havent tried this because I dont khave the rice cooker yet- but I looked up 10 recipes and this one seemed to be the closest to what is in the booklet. I dont know if it is a Pampered Chef recipe though. Good luck- Make sure to change the booklet if you send it out to customers.

That sounds perfect - I like being able to use the instant rice. We'll try it with the milk at lunchtime. Thanks!
