This summer, I've been making rice in my crockpot, which has been easy, however all I had was short grain rice, which clumps and is "mushy" when cooked in a crockpot.
I had often heard praise for jasmine rice, and, since it's a long grain rice, I bought a 1 pound bag to try (this was my first ever experience with jasmine rice).

It has worked out well! :)
It's not mushy.
While cooking, the aroma is almost undetectable, which was mildly disappointing, however there is an excellent aroma when the crockpot is opened.

In the same grocery haul, I bought a bag of mixed vegetables, and decided to try it with the rice, as a meal.
It worked out well. :)

Steps:

• cook 1/2 cup rice in crockpot on low for 2-3 hours (use the ratio of water listed on the package)
• add two cheese singles (one below & one on top), about 3-4 ounces of vegetables (I used a frozen bag of "California" mix with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots), and about an ounce of any meat (I used summer sausage)
• cook about one more hour
• stir :)
