Cooking Rice in a Nelson No. 110 Cooker/Deep Fry

I will be serving macaroni salad and fresh fruit also. This is my first Big dinner. Any hints or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

08/07/09 		It does help! This site is fantastic! I'll be borrowing a Toastmaster 18 qt roaster but I don't have the instruction manual. Can I cook the 6# at one time, if so how much water should I add. What temperature and how long will this take to cook? I cook kalua pig for my family in a crock pot. What temp. on the roaster is comparable to a crock pot's temp? I'm figuring 18# pork (2 pork butts) will cook up nicely in the roaster at one time. Do you have any idea how long this will take to cook?

Cover tightly and cook away, takes about the same time as the baked rice.

18 pounds pork is also great for 1 roaster, 200 is slow cooker low, 300 is slow cooker high. If set at slow cooker temps, takes the same time as the slow cooker, approximately. After you do this, I would love to post the recipe!
