Not an appliance as we usually think of them, but a kettle on the stove.
Do it on the weekend and you'll have rice in the fridge for at least a
couple days. Somehow the crockpot idea just doesn't ring true with me
-- the rice would be sitting in water until (long time?) the heat got up
to cooking temp. I think trying to time it would be a bitch unless you
get reliable input from someone who's actually done it. But what do I
know? I'm from the boil-the-hell-out-of-it school of cooking brown rice
and wild rice. I nuke white rice. Good luck with it.
