Not cooked, just heated to remove the moisture. Otherwise the rice is the same RH as ambient. Toaster oven or even in a pot on the stove if you keep stirring. Anything to drive the moisture out.
DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying: Maximizing Your Harvest
OK. No stove but I could do the instant pot. But if it's ambient, were probably good, rh here is about 20. Or would ambient wind up being rh in fridge?
Instant pot is designed to retain moisture, no? Got a ricemaker (with no water) or a crock pot (same)?
Wait what? Your RH is 20%? You don't need rice balls. Spread the buds on some newspaper!

Don't need to put the top on the IP.
If I had 20% ambient I never would have even thought to do the rice balls thread!
Shed are you saying take the buds out of the fridge and lay on newspaper? If so, how long? I've been doing that kind of, take all bags out of fridge and keep them open for 10-20 minutes. I've done this 3 times so far, day 3, y and 9. Wouldn't this be counter intuitive of why we do low and slow? When I hang dry in my tent, I run a humidifier to between 50-60 and that usually takes 5 days before they're ready for the jars.
I thought the concern was that the RH wasn't dropping at all when left in the fridge. Did I read that wrong?
The rh in the fridge is 75. Probably due to condensation on back of fridge.
If the RH in the fridge is always 75% then the buds will never get below that, so you'll need to take them out to dry them. Those are just the facts on the ground with that fridge!
Ok, I'll move them to the big fridge where I think rh is closer to 45-50. Thanks!
Sorry I'm just marveling at a place with two fridges but no stove or oven...

Putting them in new paper bags will help bring it down some. Maybe every few days change the bags and wipe down the back of the frig.
But you can never get anything lower than the ambient RH in there.

Yeah, very close to tearing this place down and building new. Funny, I went to go move them, and the meter said 62!
Thanks again!
Progress 
All the way down to 58!
I was about to throw this desiccant pack in there but figured I'd ask first in case there could be I'll effects.
I'm a little less concerned about food taking on weed smell/taste than the other way around....if I move to big fridge that is.

I didn't find anything in my fridge that tasted or smelled like weed (besides the kitchen when you opened the door 
), but others have said they do. YMMV!
No need for desiccants any more.

I've had butter taste very much like weed. Like I said though, I wouldn't want the weed to smell or taste like any food in my big fridge.
So 58 may be a lot better but damn it fluctuates and is often at 70 or higher. So odd, it's back up to 75! Should I try the desiccant? I can also try new bags and wipe down back of fridge.

If the RH in your room is really 20% then just open the door to your fridge for a few minutes!
But then there will be even more condensation. I appreciate your help shed!
