Notes

Depending on the type of rice you use, it should cook in 1-2 hours on high. I used a sprouted blonde rice and it cooked in 40 minutes. Brown rice should take roughly 2 hours. If you decide that you don't want to add the rice into the slow cooker, reduce the liquid to 1 cup and cook rice on it's own.
