So glad you liked it! It’s so great to be able to make this traditional dish, but with the shortcut of using the rice cooker.

Oh no! Mushy rice is no good. My rice cooker isn’t a fancy one. I think it’s Hamilton Beach. Try using less water and make sure to add some oil, to avoid it sticking. Good luck!

So glad I came across this site. I have had a rice cooker for about a year that I got as a gift and have not used it cause I wasn’t sure how my rice would turn out. I’m going to try your recipe. It’s close to the one I use to make Arroz con Gandules in the heavy pot. I love pegao but don’t need to have it all the time. And so glad that my mom still makes fresh Sofrito for us since I see that a lot of people can’t find it. We also have a big Puerto Rican population so it’s easy to find but nothing beats home made.
