Best dried arborio rice according to redditors

If I were ever going to do this, here is what I'd do to avoid the over cooked rice problem.

I'd add all the ingredients including the liquids to the slow cooker early in the day and let that all stew for x-hours.
I'd ladle out as much of the cooking liquid as possible and use that +water to cook my rice separately. I would use either bomba or arborio rice, and definitely would recommend avoiding any variety of long grain rice.

I would add the cooked rice to the slow cooker and mix it well and then I'd turn the heat setting up to high and remove the lid for at least an hour.

This would allow for any excess liquids to be easily absorbed by the rice and/or evaporate. This would also concentrate the flavors (so go easy on the salt until the dish is finished cooking) and would help to avoid over cooking the rice while still allowing the rice to develop a nice crust at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Really you'd just be leveraging the slow cooker to make the incredible broth.

Rice pudding FTW

I buy cases of toilet paper or paper towels at a time. I buy a case of Softsoap, for example, instead of one bottle. Or past time I bought a bottle I just bought a case of the refills.

I buy McCormack spices by the case like onion powder and garlic powder.

Toilet paper is $22 for 48 rolls of AngelSoft. Paper towels are $27 for 24 rolls of Sparkle select a size.

I buy my wife's feminine hygiene products by the case on Amazon as well. It's much cheaper than the grocery store.

I buy Kind breakfast bars by the case. For a box (4 bars) at the grocery store they want $6. For a case (8 boxes) they want $18 on Amazon and sometimes it has a $1 off coupon too.

My wife has Celiac's too so some things at the grocery store are marked up for being in a separate section. Gluten free pasta is cheap on Amazon. I bought a case of Arborio Rice last week too because we make a lot of risotto. I would buy one large jar of Arborio at a time for $9-11 per jar. A jar is 32 oz of rice. I bought this for $24 last week. It's 4 jars. So now we have a lot of Arborio rice but it doesn't go bad. But I saved a boat load compared to the grocery store.
