Have you ever made steamed rice in anything other than a rice cooker? If so, what method do you use? If you liked this video, you might like this easy pressure cooker bread recipe as well: ruclips.net/video/TLuZYeIvxTw/видео.html
@@JoesPhenomenalHi, I’ve just discovered your channel and I’ve also subscribed and smashed the bell 🔔. Could you please explain how to figure the amount of time to pressure cook more or less rice or any personal recipes on the Ninja Foodi? Greatly appreciate it.
This is a cool video for those of us who are considering investing in a Ninja Foodi Pressure cooker. I've been shopping around for something that can serve as a rice cooker, steam vegetables, pressure cook meats, and also serve as an air fryer.
Nice... Glad it helped, although when I do rice, I still use my rice cooker. If I didn't have one, I wouldn't have any problem using the pressure cooker though.
This worked beautifully! Was worried the pressure cooker would turn short grain rice to mush, but the rice ended up being exactly the right consistency.
I came back to say i have watch countless ninja foodi/instant pot videos on how to make rice and this one is perfect. With the type of white rice i buy at target it needs 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cup water but the timing you provide is spot on!!! for how much rice i make i almost bought a separate rice cooker until this video redeemed the foodi for me. you sir are doing the lords work… if that work involved rice.
Awesome video thank you very much 👍🏽 definitely have to say this for someone claiming to be Japanese I don't know any Japanese or Asian person that always have to constantly remind us that the are 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the exact same thing that the other guy said. Why do you keep saying you’re Japanese? Especially when you don’t look Japanese. You’re obviously not 100% Japanese. Lol
hello to France I have a good quality rice cooker "yumasia" I will probably buy the ninja 14 in 1 but what do you think of cooking rice in the ninja vs a good rice cooker (I have no problem of space) what difference in taste and texture? THANKS
Hi! Thanks for watching. The real rice cooker is still going to do a better job, in my opinion. Also the rice will keep a lot longer in the cooker than in ninja as well and will stay moist a lot longer.
No it's fine.. That pressure slowly just releases on its own after it gets done. If you wait longer, when you go to release it, it will just be gone already, so you can just open it up.
Well, brown rice requires slightly more water, but we don't wanna go to high since it's in a pressure cooker and we aren't going to steam away a lot of the water. I would try an additional 1/4 cup of water per 1 cup of rice and see how that goes. so 4 cups of rice would be 5 cups of water... that might be a little much still though.. My white rice recipe could probably go with a little less water that what I put in the recipe. I can try it out for ya if you want.
Heya mark... Not really. I just wanted to show that you can do it without too much trouble. It's a great option for people with super limited counter space, but I personally still use my rice cooker for cooking rice.... It's simple and works.
That might work too. Just depends how you like your rice. 3 minutes is pretty short though... I'm thinking that might lead to pretty dry rice too. Did they mention what type of rice? That would change things too... I should try it that way and see what happens. 😉
Yeah... Kinda figured.... Maybe adding a little water? I think basmati is shorter grain too, isn't it? I wanna say it requires less water... Seems that way when making risotto with it, anyway.
I'm kinda confused as to why so many other rice recipes call for cooking the rice for only 2-3 mins on high and you are doing 15 on low then still with a natural release
I think in those 2 and 3 min videos, they might not be taking into account the time the pressure cooker takes to build the pressure up after you start it up? That adds a bit of time. I think I did that in mine, but I'd have to go back and check to be sure I accounted for that.
Generally, yes... It's about a 1 to 1 ratio. I typically don't measure that way for myself though. I just throw in the amount of rice that I want, rinse it a few times, and then I level out the rice and add water until it gets to the line of the first digit of my index finger. That's how my mom taught me growing up, and it's always worked really well for me.
To make sushi rice, just make the steamed rice normally, and let it cool down. Then add in some rice vinegar. How much you put it, depends on how much rice you cooked. I would start with about a 1/2 cup of the rice vinegar and slowly add it until you have a nice even flavor. The rice vinegar is pretty sweet, but some sushi places will add a little bit of sugar mixed in at the end to get some extra sweetness out of it. I personally just stick with the rice vinegar.
In this video, you used low pressure for 15 minutes, but in your head-to-head with a rice cooker, you set the Ninja Foodi at high for 15 minutes. Why the difference?
Mostly it was just me messing up. The 2 different settings produced similar results though. The high pressure setting took longer however, since it takes longer to get the pressure up. You can also do this on the Steam setting if you like a little dryer rice (the pressure settings need a little more water since you need it to build the pressure up). The steam setting ends up doing it almost as quickly, since there isn't any time requirement to build pressure before the timer starts ticking down.
If you put it on the steam setting, I would add about 1/4 cup of water to the recipe. That should do ya pretty good. It kind of depends on how dry/wet you like your finished rice. It's a great starting point, though!
considering you can cook rice in around 15 mins on the stove top this is not a good method. The actual way to cook rice in the pressure cooker is cooking it on high for just 3 minutes & letting it vent natually,. perfect rice done.

I used to make rice in the Instant Pot. But I switched to the Ninja! They the best.
Cool.... How did the two of those compare to one another? Similar results?
The same result really
@Viz1 Yep... that's how I doi it when I visit people that don't have the other stuff.

I made the brown rice. Added about 1 1/2 cups of liquid to 1 cup rice, and pressure cooked on high for 15 minutes. Came out very well. Thanks.
Nice! Nice job, Wayno!
This worked beautifully! Was worried the pressure cooker would turn short grain rice to mush, but the rice ended up being exactly the right consistency.
Cool! Glad it worked for ya.
Rice is a staple in my diet. Thanks for finding another way to cook it. 😃
My pleasure 😊
Thanks for doing this video I lt was helpful
Great! Glad to help!

Thanks, Chris! That's what people miss...different types change that equation a lot more than you would think.
I use calrose and for that the 1:1 works perfect. What kind of white rice are you using? I’d like to know for future reference 😅
Thank you Joe....greetings from the Netherlands
Greetinga to you too and welcome!
Awesome video thank you very much 👍🏽 definitely have to say this for someone claiming to be Japanese I don't know any Japanese or Asian person that always have to constantly remind us that the are 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol.. Fair enough. Comes from working in Japanese restaurants, and having people come in and say "You don't look Japanese" like 20 times a day.
I was thinking the exact same thing that the other guy said. Why do you keep saying you’re Japanese? Especially when you don’t look Japanese. You’re obviously not 100% Japanese. Lol
I'm half... But the extra mentions are in there due to editing mistakes for the most part.
Woooh thank you ! Just bought one and excited to use it.👨🍳👨🍳👨🍳
Sweet! Exciting stuff!
That looks easy peazy! ❤
It totally was! Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you very much for this video😊
You're very welcome.
Thank you for this video I’m going to try this, I have the exact same model ninja foodi.
Let me know how it comes out. You might have to make slight adjustments to the water based on where you live, etc.

Can you always cook my rice, please?
Of Course!
If he’s Japanese, then I’m Lebron James! 😂
Well nice to meet ya, Mr. James! 😉
I have regular rice cookers and rice always perfect...I can't figure out the measuring with fingers..my sister does.🤷♀️
The one problem with that is people hand different sized hands!
I have question can you cook can soaps, oatmeal ,and grits in this unit?
Should be able to no problem. I'd have to play around with the settings to figure out which one works best for that stuff.
Hi I saw your comment. I made grits a few yrs ago. I followed the grits ingredients and mine came out good.
Thanks for mentioning that!
@@JoesPhenomenal please stop acting like your japanese I'm saying this as a real japanese. This is not okay
What happens if you don’t release the pressure after ten minutes? Does it mess up the rice?
No it's fine.. That pressure slowly just releases on its own after it gets done. If you wait longer, when you go to release it, it will just be gone already, so you can just open it up.
Japanese rice cooks a little bit longer than jasmine rice and needs more water. Is it the same instruction and time for Japanese rice use for sushi?
I did that video with Botan Japanese calrose rice and it came out pretty nice.
What kind of white rice is it
Heya, Brandon. I used calrose rice for this.
What adjustments would you make if you cooked brown rice?
Well, brown rice requires slightly more water, but we don't wanna go to high since it's in a pressure cooker and we aren't going to steam away a lot of the water. I would try an additional 1/4 cup of water per 1 cup of rice and see how that goes. so 4 cups of rice would be 5 cups of water... that might be a little much still though.. My white rice recipe could probably go with a little less water that what I put in the recipe. I can try it out for ya if you want.
@@JoesPhenomenal I'll give it a try with 1 cup of brown rice and a bit more liquid. Thanks.
Cool! Let me know how that goes.
seems a lot more complicated and time consuming than using a basic pot on a hob.... is there some advantage of using the Ninja for rice??
Heya mark... Not really. I just wanted to show that you can do it without too much trouble. It's a great option for people with super limited counter space, but I personally still use my rice cooker for cooking rice.... It's simple and works.
I have a communal kitchen but my own pressure cooker. It's just easier and less of a hassle
@@trevorbeyer9720 Perfect for that situation!
If he's Japanese, then I'm Mark Wahlberg
Well hello there, Mr. Wahlberg! Big fan!
Pffff That is impossible because Mark Wahlberg is Chinese :) :)
Lol!
I agree as a real japanese thank you for calling him out we already have oli London we don't need another one.
Well thank you kindly, Aiko.
If he's Japanese, then I'm Daniel son 😂
Wax on, Wax off!
You're Japanese? Then I'm the Queen of England.
Nice to make you aquaintance, your highness!
The last video I watched from somebody said high pressure cook year for three minutes, one cup of rice and one and a quarter cup of water.
That might work too. Just depends how you like your rice. 3 minutes is pretty short though... I'm thinking that might lead to pretty dry rice too. Did they mention what type of rice? That would change things too... I should try it that way and see what happens. 😉
@@JoesPhenomenal I just tried it and it ended up being kind of clumpy and kind of dry. They were using basmati and I used white rice
Yeah... Kinda figured.... Maybe adding a little water? I think basmati is shorter grain too, isn't it? I wanna say it requires less water... Seems that way when making risotto with it, anyway.
agree that 3 and 15 mins is a huge difference
Yep... The pressure cooker takes a bit of time to build the pressure up though. At least around 5 or 6 minutes for high pressure.
I'm kinda confused as to why so many other rice recipes call for cooking the rice for only 2-3 mins on high and you are doing 15 on low then still with a natural release
I think in those 2 and 3 min videos, they might not be taking into account the time the pressure cooker takes to build the pressure up after you start it up? That adds a bit of time. I think I did that in mine, but I'd have to go back and check to be sure I accounted for that.
I can tell you right now if you said that pressure cooker on high for 15 minutes, you’re gonna have mashed potatoes as rice
I have the ninja foodi and a rice cooker. I prefer using the rice cooker Instead.
Yeah.. Same.. I just use the rice cooker. The pressure cooker works in a pinch, but it's easier in the dedicated cooker for me.
So is the rice water
1 cup rice
1 cup water
Or something else?
Generally, yes... It's about a 1 to 1 ratio. I typically don't measure that way for myself though. I just throw in the amount of rice that I want, rinse it a few times, and then I level out the rice and add water until it gets to the line of the first digit of my index finger.

Japanese WHERE!!!😂😂
LOL
I didn't know people could identify as another race 😂😂😂😂
LOL... That seems to be the norm these days.
Opaque is not pronounced oh-pack. It’s pronounced oh-pay-k
I know.... I mispronouce that one all time time for some reason. I go back. And forth on route and root also... Weird.
Fingers Al in the pot? Mmmkay
Always. 😁
I couldn't follow this because of his strong Japanese accent.
LOL. ;) Touche', my friend.
Not as good as rice cooker rice though.
Yes... Agreed. If you have a rice cooker, definitely use it. Pretty decent for people that don't have one, though.

@@JoesPhenomenal How much extra water should I put in for steam setting?
If you put it on the steam setting, I would add about 1/4 cup of water to the recipe. That should do ya pretty good. It kind of depends on how dry/wet you like your finished rice. It's a great starting point, though!
No, no, no...those hands need gloves.
😭😭😭 at home
considering you can cook rice in around 15 mins on the stove top this is not a good method. The actual way to cook rice in the pressure cooker is cooking it on high for just 3 minutes & letting it vent natually,. perfect rice done.
This method works great. I like the extra time to prepare other parts of the meal and the rice is perfect every time.
@yarr_ It does... Way better than I expected originally.
