Rice pudding in the Air fryer 

Thanks very much for this video, the first of yours that I have watched. I grew up on the Fanny Farmer recipe for baked rice pudding, and your recipe is identical. So, I was delighted to find your video when I looked for instructions on how to cook it in an air fryer. However, my first attempt was a disaster, and I'm wondering if you and your readers might be able to help me determine why. My US Fanny Farmer recipe calls for a quart (32 oz.) of milk and 3 tablespoons of rice plus 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. So, I'm making twice the quantity than in your video. Fanny calls for 3-1/2 hours in a standard oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. You cooked yours at 160 degrees which, assuming that was Celsius, equates to 320 Fahrenheit (close enough). My settings were: Air Fry, 300 degrees, 45 minutes (to start). Within 3-4 minutes, the rice started exploding and smoke poured out of the fryer. The volume of liquid in the casserole dish had significantly decreased, and there was a complete boil-over mess in the basket. Rice particles had seared onto the electric coil at the top of the fryer. The rice left in the dish was still raw. None of this behavior had ever occurred in my regular oven. The only cause that I can think of is that maybe you cooked your pudding at 160 degrees Fahrenheit, not Celsius. Does that make sense? I know that air fryers cook with less time than regular ovens, but do they also cook at significantly less temperatures? I don't mind changing settings, but I don't fancy changing the methodology like pre-cooking the rice. Maybe all I need to do is cover the casserole dish, but it appears that wasn't necessary in your video. Any and all thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can I suggest you put the milk in after you put the dish in the cooker ,that makes sense to me

I bought an air fryer years ago when they first came out. People said to me "You've bought a what??". I have just upgraded to one with a 'megadrawer' which can be divided into two or use as one large drawer. I had never thought of making a rice pudding in the airfryer until I gave the old, still working perfectly, one to one of my sons and he asked about rice pudding. So, I experimented today cooking the pudding on 160C for an hour on 'Bake'. It was yummy but too set for me so next time I will try 150C. I can always cook a little longer if I think it needs it. I am amazed at all the videos showing lovely stuff cooked in an air fryer but there doesn't seem to be much vegetarian though I will probably find many now! Thanks so much for this video. I am in UK as well so measurements and temperatures make sense!! To all lovely Americans watching, I am a feet and inches , pounds and ounces girl so as long as your recipes don't use cup measurements I am in heaven!!

Love the idea! I use raisins and less sugar. Will also try this with cooked rice! You are an inspiration!

I love your humour, the naturalness of you. I'm just like that myself in the kitchen. ❤

Thank your for your Channel. I always cook my rice first in water for about 7-8 minutes,which does 2 things really. It saves on long cooking times,and reduces the amount of milk used. Just a tip.

My mother in law followed this tonight and it was absolutely delicious. A huge hit!

Thank you so much you made it look so easy I'm definitely going to give it a go 😁

Hello again Maria sorry I keep popping up in you4 comments but I enjoy watching your finished creations, you say it as it is or could turn out, none of the boasting that some do. So ta very much for yet another success, ya rice pudd.

I have a Salter Air Fryer with two drawers which are smaller than your one. So it would only fit a small bowl not big enough for a pudding. I took out the trivet at the bottom of the drawer, greased the drawer itself and cooked the pudding directly in the drawer. It turned out just fine. 😊

Looks lovely. Got to try it. Thank you very much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I enjoyed your video. Maybe show us what it looks like served in a dish for future cooking videos. Thanks

Put the dish in the air fryer first then the milk 👍😄

Love rice pudding......just so you know the cupcake symbol on your air fryer is the bake setting...the fan is more gentle on this setting rather than the air fry mode...hope this helps

Looks good, will be doing rice pudding in my Tefal like yours When my daughter is here from Florida her favourite…mummy’s rice pudding tastes best 😂 they don’t know what they are missing in the US Hmm thanks you….for rice pudding in air-fryer 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

Ooo making my taste buds going…I have the rice for pudding So will try R.pudding in my Tefal like yours which I bought couple of days ago Thanks for the air fryer recipe 👍👍👍🇬🇧

I have done this following you, apart from a bit of mess because I haven’t got a steady hand! Next timeI will put a liner in first and then put the dish in the air fryer before I add the milk and I should be fine. Your time is good for mine. Lovely that you are not “perfect” doing the video and makes me feel good.xx

I use a small baking tin for Ninjas you pour rice mix in and then lift the handle over top and lower it in

Looks so yummy, just found you and have subscribed

Tip.put your dish in the airfryer first then add your ingredients! Saves spillage x

A lovely video from a lovely lady, I wish you were my mum and I could have rice puddings every day! :-)

Ohh yummy this looks soo good..Reminds me of when my mum used to cook it for us a kids...Was wondering how it would turn out ..U could also add some sultanas to it which is really tasty in it also..Thanks for this will deffo be trying this next week..🤗🤗🤗

And this Tefal looks like a brill machine too

Hi looks really good I'll have to have a go

Hi, just made this, so lovely, thank you so much. Xx

It would be good to see you actually serve the pudding you made into a dish, to see its consistency, as it looked solid!

Do Sharron s trick from butler's empire fold foil into strips side to side and long enough to make handles to lift things out works a treat

Put it in the microwave for ten minutes to start it off 😄

Thank you for this recipe, I have been looking for one for my ninja for ages. Only one question, do you use green or blue milk. Thanks

I've just had my air fryer delivered and not yet opened the box so I'm going to try a rice pudding once I've learned the different settings. I would have liked to have seen the rice after you'd finished baking it. Was the rice soft and milky?

I'm currently making this recipe now. I have the same air fryer and it does have a bake mode, it's one of the little pictures, looks like a cupcake, it does have a high temp for baking in my opinion though

I've just made one in the slow cooker and I put a tin of carnation in mine. I think it would be easier to put the dish in first then pour the milk in. Should you not have a gap at the back of the air fryer as it does give out warm air.

Put dish in before you add the milk.

I must try this. Thank you. I think I would do it in a taller/ larger bowl. Then you'd have no overflow. Worth trying. ❤ ❤❤ 😂😂❤

That looks like a dessert spoon not tablespoon

good video

Thank you❤

Would a folded piece of foil under you dish with a long enough handle on It be helpful in lifting it out. And in for that matter. I fold my foil into three so it’s strong enough.

love ur video , do you wash the rice first ?

i tried to make rice pudding in my ueten 6,5l air fryer ended up in the bin because I had mine on 160c for 30 minutes stirred then turned the heat up to 180c for a further 30 minutes 15 minutes later I smelled burning the milk dissipated and burned with bits of rock hard rice next time it will be in the normal oven

It would help to know what watt your oven is ..thank you

Cook the rice first in a pot or rice cooker then make your pudding. You're burning the milk

Thanks for this. Do you know the wattage of your airfryer as i have an Instant Vortex Plus.

I would have thought the milk would overspill.

Is it 160 Celsius or, fahrenheit ?

You can use cooked rice

Less time how’d guess

Can you tell me how much rice you ised please

Cook more, talk a lot less!
