- Today I'm going to show you how to make white rice in the Instant Pot. I did an Instant Pot rice experiment in my kitchen. I tried making long grain white rice 4 different ways and I show you the results.

For my experiment I tested the rice four different ways:
1. A 1 cup rice to 1 cup water ratio with a 5 minute cooking time and 5 minute NPR.
2. A 1 cup rice to 1.5 cup water ratio with a 5 minute cooking time and 5 minute NPR.
3. Rinsed rice with a 1 cup rice to 1 cup water ratio, 5 minute cooking time and 5 minute NPR.
4. Rinsed rice with a 1 cup rice to 1.5 cup water with a 5 minute cooking time and a 5 minute NPR.
Note: I did NOT use the "rice cup" that came with my Instant Pot. I used a regular measuring cup.
An important note: You need at least 1 1/2 cups of water in your 6 quart Instant Pot to make it come to pressure with a moisture absorbing ingredient like rice. Therefore I do not suggest cooking less than 1 cup of rice in your Instant Pot. If you want to just make a small batch of rice then you can use the pot-in-pot method.
Results:
1. The thing I found the most interesting was that the rinsed rice wasn't any less sticky than the unrinsed rice. Lesson learned...don't waste time rinsing long grain white rice. It doesn't make a difference.
2. I was skeptical that a 1:1 ratio would even work. It did though. However the rice was not as soft and not as moist as the 1:1.5 ratio.
3. I preferred the unrinsed rice that had the 1:1.5 ratio. It is soft and fluffy and moist.
4. I need to do one more experiment with a 1:1.25 ratio. I believe that this might be the best ratio yet. Alas, I ran out of rice and time. But I believe that the best way to make long grain white rice is by using a 1 cup rice to 1 ¼-½ cup water ratio with a 5 minute cooking time and a 5 minute natural pressure release.

That rice you first showed looked like what my mother use to serve all of us kids when I was growing up and I stayed away from rice until the Air Force sent me to Thailand during the Vietnam War. I met a guy there who was going to the same base which I was going to and he talked me into trying some fried rice he was eating and I love the rice dish he had and ordered a bowl myself and ate it all. After that I was eating rice again until the present.
😂 hahahaha mee too! Guess our moms didn’t know how to cook rice. Ours always tasted burnt & was stuck to the bottom of the pot🤣
Love your experiments.
Thank you for your demonstration, although I prefer non-sticky rice. I am new to Instant Pot, and your demonstration is helpful.
1:1 with long grain white rice; 3 cups rice and 3 cups water. Use the RICE button, that’s what it’s for. It’ll cook for 12 minutes, then do a 10 minute natural release. Easy. Always rinse the rice until the water clears. Also, rice is somewhat dirty.
I'm so glad you made this comment. I've been looking everywhere just trying to figure out how to use the rice button on my instant pot. All the instructions I can find are for manual. What is the rice button for? Haha
Thank you for experimenting and sharing results. I find if I don't rinse the rice before cooking in IP the pot spits starchy vapor throughout the cooking. Since rinsing rice requires more water, I've decided only to IP rice when I can cook another food in the IP w. pot-in-pot method. 🙂
My husband loves white rice. Thank you for doing the experiments for me. I am going to make your Parmesan garlic chicken with rice instead of pasta.
Thanks for sharing!
My family eats a lot of rice. Prior to the IP we probably went through 4 rice cookers, just plain wore them out. Since switching to the IP I only use the rice cooker when both IPs are being used and we still need rice. I prefer the IP for cooking rice. I use the 1:1 ratio and rinse the rice. Rinsing to wash out any non-rice debris because I really don't notice a difference in texture between rinsed and non rinsed. Thanks for the video.
FYI - for brown rice I use 1:15 and cook for 20 to 22 minutes. 5+ minutes natural release on both.
First of all happy New Year and second I have the bene casa Rice cooker I'll try your style have a blessed day God bless
I made unbelievable rice in mine once and haven’t been able to duplicate it even though what it makes is good. I do 3 minutes high pressure and tonight I’m doing the rice setting for first time. I always scrub my rice, not just rinse but put your hand in there and grip it over and over scrubbing the starch off.
I like your approach. I browse multiple techniques and demos to gain ideas in the principle ideas. Then go off and experiment on those ideas.
I found 1c white long grain rice to 1.25 water at 3min high pressure with 10 min natural release works well
But i do like to include chicken bouillon and /or onions and spices or proteins to give me a pilaf final product.
Still experimenting... but keeping in mind added veggies and proteins ad moisture of their own for the rice to absorb.
Love the video! Straight to the point and very informative!
I totally agree. Rinsed rice it stickier than dry rice (though a lot of people disagree.) Personally, I do not like sticky rice. Rinsing is fine if that's what you want. Just a preference. What works perfectly for me every time...
1:1 ratio dry rice and liquid
3 minutes pressure
18 mins NR
Perfectly fluffy white rice every time (I use Jasmine or Basmati). 👍🏼
Thanks for the excellent video.
I LOVE your shirt! Go Cougars!
So many different ways to cook rice in pressure cookers.i like mine fluffy an soft.just set to rice an let it go but I do put a little oil in to keep from foaming.i do rinse rice well because of clean an really hot water since all rice contains traces of arsenic.
Personally I like my rice sticky and soft and cooked in broth if I eat it with a meat dish. For breakfast I like it dryer and firmer with sugar and butter. So I guess there’s really not a wrong way unless it’s undercooked or burned. I liked your comparison video. Thanks.
thank you
I love this video! great way to experiment and let the viewers decide what they prefer.
also. i agreed with your choice. the rinsed rice didnt look very good.
Thank you for your time and help with rice
I always have problems with rice.
What about cooking yellow rice in the Instant pot or pressure cooker?
I really want to know how to cook yellow rice in my Instant Pot.
Have a blessed day.....
Thank you for the tutorial. I would appreciate if you can do a tutorial on boiling perfect pasta in Instant Pot Ultra. Thank you.
Can you do a demonstration for sushi rice please,
I like your tips here very much
@@karenbellessapeterse thanks a lot
How would I cook 1 CUP of SUSHI RICE in my Instant Pot duo nova 8 qt. cooker? Love your videos. Thanks
Which one would you recommend for making fried rice?
My question is how was the complete texture? When I cook rice in my pot I find that the rice is soft on the outside but still a bit crunchy in the center of the grains.
When you rinse the rice you are adding extra water because the rice is wet. I do a one-to-one ratio with rinsed rice. I also add a little salt and olive oil.
What setting did you use please the rice program?
I rinse my rice and let it soak in cold water for 30 mins before I cook mine. It seems to taste way better to me. How come you don't use the rice setting? I'm only asking because the 6qt at home seems to work awesome using the rice setting but for some reason the 3qt seemed to burn to the bottom and the rice didn't taste done to me. Any ideas?
I wonder what would happen if you added a small amount of oil in the instant pot.
I love your channel. I am just now learning to cook and I love your simple explanations.
It would just unnecessary calories and no flavor.
What kind Rice 🍚 you used?? Great value or other
I usually to the 1 to 1 1/2 ratio for 5 minutes. I tried the 1 to 1 ratio and it always came out still crunchy.
1 to 1 rinsed immediate pressure release!
Adding a Tbsp of avocado oil or whatever kind of oil you prefer, helps the rice to not be sticky.
We use 1:2 rice to water and cook for 12 mts.
I suppose it's the type and variety and age of the rice
I always add olive oil to my rice, makes it less sticky
How much did you rinse your rice?
As much as I have learned to love my instant pot, with rice, I have to use the rice cooker and/or use my grandma's pot to make it on the stove. Somehow I don't like the way the rice comes out with the instant pot. have tried rinsed, not rinsed, with oil, with no oil, less water, more water, etc. I do love to make beans and no bean chili, my daughter & grandson eat it all up.
What button did u push ??? The pressure cook or the rice button ??
I don’t have the rice option , I have the duo crisp and air fryer , I wonder how what im supposed to select .
On the first test you mixed them up. The one on the right on your side left my side looking at it was the 2 cup water 2 cup rice and the other one was 3 cup water 2 cup rice. When it was done you said the outside right side you left side me was the 3 cup water 2 cup rice.
This is helpful, but I would never cook rice without rinsing. Its quite dirty.
The reason we Asians rinse rice is mainly for cleanliness based on milllenia of tradition, habit and necessity. The other is to rid the musty odour that comes with the rice milling process. Over thousands of years, that washing has become a ritual. I and many of my contemporaries who have 8 + decades of eating rinsed white rice can tell whether the rice was rinsed once, or twice or 3 times. Socially, serve us old geezers some unrinsed rice and we would not say anything about it, but the word would somehow get back to the cook/host.
This is a mine field. There are so many variables. Volume measurements do not help, the rice can come in different densities and absorbtion levels. Years ago I had Lebonese work mates who cooked their rice after rinsing, but I suspect that was to wash away no0n-rice things. They then covered it with water and simmered until they thought it was done then drained the excess water. Mind you thay were making an enormous pot full.
How much water would you do for 4 cups of rice? Would you adjust cooking time at all?
I
You don't say what buttons to press?
I was looking for somebody to hit the venting
Always do a two cup of water to one cup of rice ratio. Any less water, and only a bird could enjoy it.
The only thing that rice needs is a cup or two of my seafood gumbo on top of it 😄👋🏼😄
Frustrated that I can't find how much rice I can cook in a 5L insta pot.. I need to cook for a crowd
What about brown rice.
@@karenbellessapeterse what is the Npr mean
It's apparent from all the videos i've seen on making rice using Instant Pot that the "Rice" button on Instant Pot is pretty useless. Nobody seems to use it or even recommend using it. Why?
I use the rice button all the time. It works fine on my 8 quart. 1:1 with long grain white rice; 3 cups rice and 3 cups water. Use the RICE button, that’s what it’s for. It’ll cook for 12 minutes on low pressure, then do a 10 minute natural release. Easy. Always rinse the rice until the water clears unless you want it sticky. Some people feel the need to do things their own way I guess.
@@PDXTundra Yes, i also found the rice button and the 1:1 work perfectly fine. I use basmati rice but usually just a cup and a half with same amount of water. Press rice button for less amount and cook for 8 minutes on low pressure. I then let it warm and natural release for 10 minutes to get basmati rice the way it should be, non-sticky but still moist.
@@PDXTundra I did this and my rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. It was hard to scrap rice out of the pan.
As latino this way of cooking rice makes me scream both internally and out loud! 😖😖😖😖😖
😂 Technology bro. It adapts to give convenience for those that want it, rice making pride not guaranteed. The entire world been eating rice for thousands of years. But methods haven't really changed much, ie hot water.
Why as a Latino does this make you scream??? She's making a different version of rice. That's like me saying as an American it makes me scream when someone from Japan cooks rice.
You must've been really bored i learned nothing of how to cook perfect rice and you did if 4 times
