Rice Pudding Disaster
18 Answers
Yesterday, I tried to make a rice pudding in my slow cooker. The result was something that looked remarkably like wallpaper glue. I really had no idea that you could overcook pudding rice to such an extent.
It used to work beautifully in my old, heated base slow cooker. This new cooker is far too fierce.
Shall I try again or is it a waste of time and money?

I made one last week, in the oven. I didn't have any proper pudding rice so just used Tilda basmati, it turned out absolutely lovely. I debated whether or not to do it on the hob but I do like the brown skin and bits round the side of the dish which you get from an oven cooked one but not on the hob.
I don't have a slow cooker but if I did I would probably still cook it in the oven.

The latest models of slow-cookers are not as slow or as cool as the old ones. I bought a couple of the newer ones, and used old recipes, and food has burned or at least dried out horribly, even on the "low" setting. So I got an old model from a car-boot sale, and I find the old recipes still work. I have even found that one of the new models gets so hot that it cracks. And, no, I didn't put it into cold water when it was hot.
