How To Make rice a roni (rice cooker)

  • 1
    Add the butter to the rice cooker pot and place on Cook. Melt the butter then add the orzo. Cook the orzo for a few minutes, stirring often, until starting to brown, it will smell like pop corn. (If you do not have orzo, just break up spaghetti into 1/2 inch pieces, works just as well.)
