Rice in the Instant Pot
Directions
- 1:1 water to rice ratio method:
- Measure dry rice, set aside. (about 1 “cup” minimum recommended, any “cup” you choose)
- Measure same amount of water, add to Instant Pot’s inner pot/liner.
- Rinse rice, add wet rice to the measured water in the inner pot.
- Lock on the lid, and set the steam release valve to “sealing” position.
- Select your pressure cooking time:
- White rice: 3-8
- Basmati (white) rice: 4-8
- Brown rice (long/short): 22-28
Wild rice mix: 25-30
- Let the rice rest for about 10 minutes after cooking is finished before releasing any remaining pressure, and serve.
-
- The foundation for this 1:1 recommendation is due to two things being true:
- The Instant Pot allows very little water evaporation due to Instant Pot’s superior sealing ability.
- Rice absorbs its volume in water when cooked long enough.
