The easiest way to keep rice warm for a long time without drying it out is to use a rice cooker. First, cook your rice as you normally would in your rice cooker. Each rice cooker cooks rice differently, so just follow the cooking instructions that it came with. Once your rice is cooked, just switch the function from “cook” to “keep warm.” It should be able to keep your rice warm for 2 to 3 hours. Rice left warming in a rice cooker past the 2 to 3 hours will begin to become gummy or even stick to the rice cooker and burn. It will still be edible, but it may be dry and less tasty. Don't leave the rice in the cooker for more than a day or mold and bacteria can grow on it. If the rice looks or smell off after it's been in the cooker for a while, play it safe and avoid eating it.
