Question by Lauren G: Omitting rice in a crock pot recipe?
Does anyone know much liquid you would reduce in a recipe if you were omitting the rice in the crock pot?
I like brown rice and a lot of recipes call for converted rice. SO I would like to leave out the rice. Do I cut the liquids in half?
Ok, I tried it last night with regular brown rice and it didn't work. So tonight I am going to make another pot of rice and still use the chicken. At least that won't go to waste.

Yes. Crock pot recipes do baste themselves.
I think you would be safe to cut the liquid in half, but why don’t you just substitute the brown rice for the white? that’s what I do for my family.
The ratio for liquid and rice is two to one. The rice absorbs twice the liquid. So if you omit the rice from a recipe, you should reduce the liquid by twice as much.
For example, if the recipe calls for one cup of rice, you should reduce your liquid by two cups.
