Call for Recipes - Rice

[neadods]

Long story short, bags of white rice are used to weigh down the raffle ticket bags at the pirate feast. The Rafflemistress was tired of staring at the same 5 lbs of rice and started throwing it out at the end of the evening, so I rescued it, because rice is filling and that's a heck of a lot of free food going there.

So... aside from making rice pudding, sticking it under curries and into soups, what would *you* do with rice?

I keep thinking of trying it in the steamer to speed things up. Or seeing what happens if I do it in a crock pot overnight (aside from the rice crusting at the edges). Mostly because I'm way too impatient to wait 45 minutes for breakfast.

ETA: OTOH, it's just as fabulous cold. Come the summer months, I may make a big vat of it at night and just take some out of the fridge every morning.

It's funny, my first thought was that it might work in the crockpot. On the other hand, my roommate doesn't drive and after I drop her at work I have two hours before my day starts so I do have 45 minutes to make breakfast.

I need to play with this. I wonder how it would work with brown rice, considering that's what I buy and have in bulk. Dammit I just put dinner dishes in the dishwasher, I so don't need to be thinking about food right now.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with brown rice. I'd definitely crock it then, to make sure the rice is done.
