![]() I do this when I am making Mexican Rice or Fried Rice because it gives it a better texture for these particular dishes. The only time I don’t rinse my rice is when I sauté the rice in oil before cooking. Just drain off all the excess water completely before adding the water for cooking. You can also put the rice in a strainer and rinse until the water runs clear. ![]() I prefer this way because any debris that may be present in the rice floats to the top and can be drained off. Then I drain off the water continually and repeat until the water runs clear. I like submerging the rice in water in the Instant Pot pot/liner and agitating the rice with my hands. Rinsing doesn’t take that long and it is totally worth the extra step. Rice can be so dirty and can be covered in excess starches and I believe rinsing is necessary. I almost always rinse my rice before cooking. Just use a mug or glass to measure equal measurements. I also love this ratio because you can really use anything you want to measure. Remember, the rice is being pressure cooked so all that steam and water is staying inside the pot, not evaporating out. When cooking rice on the stovetop or even in a rice cooker more water may be needed, but not with an Instant Pot. The rice-to-water ratio always seems to be the biggest debate when cooking rice. Set your cooking time manually on high pressure for the times suggested above and your rice will simply turn out better. The “rice” function is programmed to “low” pressure and cooks for 12 minutes which gets the job done but tends to make the rice more sticky (in my opinion). Don’t Use the “Rice” Buttonĭon’t be tempted to use the rice button on your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. The rice function may work well enough for white rice varieties but won’t work for any other variety. From there you can save the image and then open it on your desktop to print.

There is a big jump from white rice to brown rice, wild rice, red rice, and black rice. Short grain white rice such as sushi rice only needs slightly more time. ![]() This includes long grain white rice, Jasmine, and Basmati. ![]() White rice only needs a few short minutes. The cooking time of rice in the Instant Pot purely depends on what variety of rice you are cooking. Just be cautious of cooking times, as they’ll vary depending on the cup of dry rice you add. You can use Jasmine rice or Basmati rice as well. Here’s all you need to add to your instant pot: No need for a bunch of ingredients for perfect, fluffy, rice to accompany your meal. It pairs perfectly with chicken or pork meals, just about anything! Ingredients in the Perfect Instant Pot Rice Recipe It is hands-down my favorite way to cook plain rice. My old rice cooker did not cook brown or wild rice well at all and I had no control over the cooking times. The Instant Pot cooks rice evenly, consistently, and quickly and is much faster than cooking it on the stove top. I got an Instant Pot shortly after and as soon as I realized I could cook rice in it, I never looked back. ![]() It’s so easy to cook rice in the instant pot! My rice cooker bit the dust a few years ago and I never replaced it.
