Reasons to prepare rice pudding in the saucepan

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just cook rice pudding in a rice cooker! However, this can lead to quite a mess. So that your rice pudding is not only edible, but also tasty, we do not recommend preparing it in the rice cooker for various reasons:

1. Normal cow’s milk boils over quickly and shoots out of the lid – of course we want to protect you and your rice cooker from that!
2. To prevent rice pudding from burning, it must be stirred constantly. This is unfavorable for the rice cooker, as it is designed to cook the rice in one piece.
3. Rice pudding should simmer over low heat. Unfortunately, not all devices allow you to set the temperature of the rice cooker manually.

Why is my rice pudding rice hard?

Maybe you didn’t add enough liquid to begin with. Whatever the case, if your rice is looking dried out, or the texture is still hard or crunchy when all the liquid has been absorbed, add up to ½ cup water and return to a simmer with the lid on.

If your rice pudding seems a bit too thin, you can easily thicken with a slurry. I prefer using a single teaspoon cornstarch with a tablespoon of water (or existing milk liquid from the pudding mixture). Stir this together until smooth, then mix into the pudding.

Why is my rice pudding so liquidy?

If you find that you’ve cooked the rice down to less than 3-1/2 cups, add a little milk to make up the difference. The mixture may look a little soupy, but don’t worry: the pudding tightens as it cools, and if you let the milk and rice cook down any further, the pudding will be gloppy and stiff after cooling.

What is the best rice to use in rice pudding?

Use long grain converted white rice for a classic, old-fashioned rice pudding. Arborio rice also makes lovely rice pudding, though it tends to absorb a bit more liquid, so expect that you will need to add a bit more hot milk or water towards the end of simmering.

How do you make James Martin rice pudding?
