Whether you’re looking to make a simple side dish or a hearty main course, there are countless rice recipes you can make in the Instant Pot. In this article, we’ve collected all our favorite Instant Pot Rice Recipes to share with you.
The Instant Pot has become a kitchen staple for many home cooks thanks to its ability to simplify the cooking process and reduce the amount of time spent in the kitchen. One ingredient that is particularly well-suited for cooking in the Instant Pot is rice.
One of the most important things to get right when making rice in the Instant Pot is the ratio of water to rice. I have found that 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of water is the perfect ratio for any type of white rice – jasmine, basmati, long grain. Brown, wild, or sticky (glutenous) rice will take a bit more a water and more time to cook.
These ratios can vary depending on where you live. High vs low elevation do change the ratio and the cooking time slightly, so be aware of this. I think it’s always wise to do a rice test the first time you make rice in your Instant Pot. Try 1 cup of water and 1 cup of rice for 4 minutes on high pressure with a 10 minute natural pressure release and see how it comes out. Then you can adjust your perfect recipe based on the results.
