I find that whilst the rice is perfectly cooked doing it this way, Im not keen on the softness or sticky texture. I experimented and came to a method that works for all white rice. Whatever volume of rice is used, put exactly the same amount of water in from the measuring cup used. Cook on high pressure for 5 or 6 minutes depending on your taste. Quick release. Stir the rice and leave in pot for 2 minutes with the lid off. The rice is firmer of texture but not overcooked or under done.
Another way, that I like to use, is 3 minutes high pressure and the 10 minute natural release. After making Instant Pot Company's version shown in this video, I wanted to have a firmer rice for some meals. I still use the 4 minute method for a softer rice sometimes, but give the 3 minute version a try and see how you like it. One thing I realize is that the cooking time will be different in high elevations! I'm at sea level. :)
MegensBay I just cooked some Jasmine rice on PC/manual at low pressure for 3 minutes, 10 min natural release then vent to finish, and it turned out firm and mostly separate. I used 1 c rice and then rinsed it, and 1 c water. I, too, don't like soft sticky rice.
Thank you so much for this. I've been wanting to cook rice on my IP but always afraid of the texture I've seen in all the videos I've watch. I'll be trying your method. Have any of you, by any chance, cook rice with chicken?
I bought my Daughter an Instapot a couple years ago for Christmas. It was such a good sale at the time, I bought myself one as well. Sadly, I now have two. 😢 Rest in Heaven Baby Girl…I miss you ❤🕊
The receipt calls for a one-to-one ratio of rice to water. However, if you add the rice first and fill the pot to the 3 cup mark the rice takes up a certain volume, so how much actual water did you add?
I have cooked rice on the stovetop in a pan for many years, and it comes out cooked very well, just the way I like it. I got an electric pc for Christmas and I have cooked rice in it a couple of times also. I still prefer the stovetop method although the pc is nice for hands-off cooking. I agree with Gary W, I just use a one to one ratio and use any container (cup) that is convenient and it works.
An easier and more thorough way to rinse it is to put the strainer with the rice in it inside the IP insert, fill with water to cover by a couple inches or so and swish the rice with your hands. Lift out the strainer with rice in it, drain the water from the IP insert, and repeat. (2 times total) This does a really good job of rinsing the starch off the rice. :)
Take the stainless steel inner pot out of the pressure cooker to eliminate the rice from sticking. The instant pot is still hot and actually cooks the at the surface of the pot which causes it to stick because it hasn’t cooled down yet.
I use pressure for 3 minutes with a 18 minute natural release. That makes it fluffier; not sticky. Plus, a teaspoon of olive oil and pinch of salt prevents foaming (starch) which can eventually clog the valve. DID NOT RINSE.
Thank you, Sandy! I am a first-time viewer. I had a food burn, and it brought me to this video. Well, now it turned out........ good pork chops n rice though a little mushy lol
Hi Sandy I made my rice after watching your video.it came out perfect. the only thing I did was let it rest for 5mins after letting out the pressure. with the top then fluffed it. it wasn't mushy at all it was dryer
I didn't know what the little cup was for, so I tossed it. I don't see well, so I couldn't read the tiny info on it. Can I use a regular measuring cup? How much would you say I should use for just 1 person?
I notice that the pressure cooker XL is better on doing rice it never come out sticky the only thing is the lid is coted not aluminum so it flakes after a few uses
That rice cup is not the equivalent of a real measuring cup is it? It looks smaller. I am glad you showed us about the cup and the liter mark. To tell you the truth i never used the cup before. I’ll try your way. I always used the rice button. Rice is not a staple in the french diet. One of the meals I always enjoyed was couscous, a meal from Algeria. I think you might like that. With the IP it seems very easy. That’s when the steamer like yours will come in handy to steam the couscous grain. Basically it’s a pot au feu. I am ordering the steamer/strainer from Amazon. Continue sharing please!
After the cook time ends and the pot beeps, just let it sit, don't do anything to it. The counter will begin counting up in minutes. When it gets to 10, then you can manually release the remaining steam by turning the steam release knob to the Venting position.
It might be good to remove the rice from the pot and put it on a cutting board or on a platter to let it cool down so it doesn't keep on cooking in the pot.....
iLuvUA-cam I misunderstood what he said and have apologized to him. Too bad you felt the need to leave a mean message to me instead of just replying in a neutral, non hurtful way. I wish you could have been nice.
I don't like soft sticky overdone rice. I like the grains to be separate and firmer. Instructions for types of white rice are all over the place. The "Rice" function cooks at low pressure for 12 minutes (which seems far too long in a pressure cooker for Jasmine rice; stovetop cooks in only 15 minutes), but the recipe book (p. 14) that is included with my new Duo 60 says to cook it on Pressure Cook (manual) for only 1 minute on high pressure with a 10 minute natural pressure release for Jasmine rice. Maybe they have updated their recipe book? Also, the only markings on the inner pot of mine are PC Max (3/4) and 1/2. No rice markings. I just cooked some Jasmine (1 c rice, 1 c water but the rice had been rinsed) on low pressure for 3 minutes with a 10 min natural release, then vent to finish releasing. It was firmer and more separate, about 95% perfect. This is the first thing I've cooked in my new IP. Next time I may try the 1 minute at high pressure thing. Definitely won't use the pre-programmed "Rice" function, because I think after 12 minutes it would be mush.
No, it's still 12 minutes on Low pressure, or this recipe. But for this recipe too many people thought the rice was too soft, so it looks like they changed to a shorter time.
I set my IP just like you say, 4 minutes in high pressure but the rice turn out half cook. Little raw. I didn’t however let it have a natural release of the steam. I release it right away. Could that be it? I also cooked a 3 cups of rice with a 1:1 ratio of water.
Kevin When you release it right away it stops the cooking process. If you leave the lid on and natural release or let it sit 10-15 minutes it will continue to cook.
So, the markings on the side of the aren't accurate when pot is empty then? With water displacent with rice in the amount you added wasn't 3 cups. Or it was and if you filled to that line with an empty pot, you'd have more than 3 cups. Which is it?
Add 3 (6 oz rice cups) to the pot. Then add the water until it reaches the 3 cup mark (not the 3 L). That's how those markings were set up, according to IP.
Wouldn’t use a strainer to wash rice, it will never wash thoroughly. Just use a silicone whisk beater and wash it in your pot, rice grain will never fall out anyway.
I do sometimes, but I wanted to show a different method that allows you to control the time. The rice setting is fixed. Though it works well, you may want to have manual control.
stick your finger in the rice and place the tip to where it is touching the top of the rice and add water to where it reaches your first knuckle no matter how much rice you use
Not sure what’s the point of doing the rice in the pressure cooker when in the microwave it takes exactly the same amount of time to do it and you have more control over it. You need to wait for the steam to build up and the steam to release which takes the most amount of time, while if you do it with a microwave, you don’t need to do any of these and can check the rice in-between.
Well, lots of people believe that cooking in the microwave is unhealthy. Also, there are people who don't own microwaves. Perhaps they prefer the texture and results of rice cooked in the IP. I don't understand why you would question someone's desire to cook rice in the IP? People like cooking in it. Some people prefer using a rice cooker, and some prefer the stove top. Why does it matter? Take a deep breath and just enjoy life. It's too short a short journey to be concerned with how people cook rice. Namaste.
Thank you for keeping it so simple! My jasmine rice was still hard :( I did 1/12 cups of rice to 1/12 cups of water and stirred in a bit of oil so it didn't stick to the pot. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
If it's 1:1 ratio can't you just put in 3 plastic cups of water? Also rice has a habit of foaming so to keep that from happening in the pressure cooker you can add a little oil or butter so it doesn't clog the pressure valve.
It is 1:1 rice to water. Remember, this is Instant Pot Company's method from their manual/recipe book that I wanted to make for you all. Interesting, isn't it? I do add a little butter sometimes, but haven't had any issues with clogging, so far! Thank you for your comment, Carol! :)
when I see how good your rice came out I don't question, I follow! Thanks for making this simple! I just got an instant pot ultra! I did the water test on steam and I might make my first side, rice!
Carol, yes, you can add the water in the plastic cup. It should come out approximately the same as using the markings. You can use any container to measure the rice and water, as long as it's 1:1.
Not going to tell you what happened when I tried this in my IP. But ... You could have hung wallpaper with the paste I made. :) So, I would like to know, Sandy, with the setup you have in the video, and using Jasmine rice, how long does it take to wash the rice til water is clear? How many minutes? Lighting in my kitchen is not the best, so I need an idea of about how long I should wash it if I use the same strainer that you use>> Enjoy your videos, you are always so calm and not afraid of your pressure cooker! tia
Hedda Lettis hi, sorry to hear about the paste! My tip for you, since you have low lighting, is to use a bowl. a clear glass bowl or dish. This will allow you to see the milky color of the starch. Just be careful when you are draining it so no rice gets washed down the drain! It will take you a few times of filling the dish with water, sloshing it around with your hands, and gently draining it out before you see the water run clear. But after you do this a few times you will be a pro!
Thanks for the quick response. I have arthritis in my hands, the bowl wouldn't work for me because I drop things. I would still LOVE to know how many minutes it takes to wash the starch out of the 3 cups of J. rice using the strainer you have. LOL, no one ever mentions the amount of time they spend rinsing rice! (Don't mean to be a pest!)
Thanks so much. I used the rice cup, filled two times, and apparently I need a larger strainer than I used. Strainer wasn't large enough to leave enough room to stir around. So, larger strainer is on the way, and I will try again when it arrives. :)
Oh my gosh this was so helpful......I was completely lost with the measurements for rice! What would happen if I did not rinse the starch off the rice?
Most rice contains arsenic, especially rice grown in the Mississippi Delta. California-grown rice has the least arsenic. Rinsing well removes most of it.
Paula Johnson, I bought a Japanese rice washer which works quite well. No need to soak; the bottom is a sieve. I imagined that since the Japanese have eaten rice in their diet for many centuries, they know the best methods to use. There is never any softening or splitting of the grains, as they go directly into the boiling water after rinsing. There are many articles are the arsenic content in rice, if you're interested. Here's a particularly informative one: www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index. htm (space added, in case UA-cam makes it invisible). Of course rinsing isn't obligatory. Everyone is free to decide whether or not the risk factor concerns them. For what it's worth, Uncle Ben's happens to be grown entirely in the Mississippi Delta region.
That's because the video is using the 6-qt. Instant Pot and you and I are using the 3-qt. Duo Mini. Everything is identical except the 6-qt. version includes a couple of extra features for larger recipes.
That's true, but this is just to show the basics of making rice in the IP. You may want to serve it under a saltier dish, such as butter chicken. That additional salt could end up making the overall dish too salty. I do sometimes just tear into a bowl of rice with salt, pepper, and butter though! :)
TimeIdle because different rices take different times. But this is the recipe in the official IP recipe book that came with the IP, so I make it their way and it turns out great.
Robert, the Rice function is for regular white rice, although you could probably use it for jasmine rice as well, since the cooking time is about the same. It uses Low Pressure and takes 22 minutes, if memory serves me. But you can use the Manual button instead, and cook for 3 minutes at high pressure, with a 7 minute NPR, 10 minute NPR for jasmine rice.
I've done rice 3x in my new instant pot, and not happy with any of the results. First, I measured the water WITH the cup as directed, and hit the pot's RICE button. Rice was cooked, gluey, dense. I've tried manual, etc. Virtually the same with manual settings. Love the pot, it isn't going to replace my 40 year old rice cooker (Panasonic) which IS perfect, every time. With or without (usually without) rinsing the rice first.
Krys Morgan For Jasmine Rice it is a 1:1 ratio. You put the rice in first and then fill to the mark on the pot. Some rices need more liquid, more time, etc. Check your recipe.
I don't understand why we just don't put three cups of water to cups of rice and push the rice button and then why not do it that way that seems like it makes the most sense why are you complicating this. Explain why you're taking such a difficult path. But then I don't know how my rice is going to turn out so I'll let you know. But thank you for making the video.
Important to note: Washing the rice makes it digestible and allows the body to absorb vitamins and minerals. If one doesn't wash the rice, you get nothing! Poor digestion and no nutrition.
I got excited that you were using the rice cup and pot markings! You let me down when you used the manual button! The RICE button is all you need and natural release! The rice button is low pressure for 12 minutes! I was going to use your video as a perfect example of cooking white rice in your IP pressure cooker using the RICE button since it is for all white rice! 😟
Georgia Spencer that may be, but I was giving the lesson straight from the official Instant Pot recipe book that comes with the IP. I agree that the rice button is a great way to cook some rices. Sorry you felt disappointed.
Hey Georgia - how many tutorial videos have you taken the time to create and post? To avoid future disappointment perhaps you should lower your expectations - consider the possibility that different methods of cooking rice may work better for other types of rice - familiarize yourself with the instant pot instructions and keep your frowning-face emojis and exclamation points to yourself. Rude and inconsiderate comments do not benefit those who are trying to learn.
I find that whilst the rice is perfectly cooked doing it this way, Im not keen on the softness or sticky texture. I experimented and came to a method that works for all white rice. Whatever volume of rice is used, put exactly the same amount of water in from the measuring cup used. Cook on high pressure for 5 or 6 minutes depending on your taste. Quick release. Stir the rice and leave in pot for 2 minutes with the lid off. The rice is firmer of texture but not overcooked or under done.

Cliff notes: 1:1 ratio of rice to water. High Pressure cook for 4 mins. Natural release for 10mins.
Hi, why you don’t use the rice function?
Takes too long! I cook and drain my rice everyday- 4 minutes
a little tip. add chicken stock instead of water for some VERY tasty rice!!!
Good Video. I use chicken stock or vegetable stock. Serving with fish tonight so used vegetable stock.
Take the stainless steel inner pot out of the pressure cooker to eliminate the rice from sticking. The instant pot is still hot and actually cooks the at the surface of the pot which causes it to stick because it hasn’t cooled down yet.
I have 3 Instant Pots and not one of them came with a cup.
How dare they
Neither did mine…
I use pressure for 3 minutes with a 18 minute natural release. That makes it fluffier; not sticky. Plus, a teaspoon of olive oil and pinch of salt prevents foaming (starch) which can eventually clog the valve.
DID NOT RINSE.
Thank you, Sandy! I am a first-time viewer. I had a food burn, and it brought me to this video. Well, now it turned out........ good pork chops n rice though a little mushy lol
Hi Sandy I made my rice after watching your video.it came out perfect. the only thing I did was let it rest for 5mins after letting out the pressure. with the top then fluffed it. it wasn't mushy at all it was dryer
My Duo did not come with a cool spoon.
What would you do if you didn’t have the manual button?
Why not just use the same measure cup you used with the rice
use the finger method you will have correct amount of water
So thorough yet so concise! 🙏 Thank you
I didn't know what the little cup was for, so I tossed it. I don't see well, so I couldn't read the tiny info on it. Can I use a regular measuring cup? How much would you say I should use for just 1 person?
Use the same amount of water as the amount of rice. When using Instant Pot it's a 1 to 1 ratiio.
I notice that the pressure cooker XL is better on doing rice it never come out sticky the only thing is the lid is coted not aluminum so it flakes after a few uses
I didn't know that. I haven't used that brand.
@@SandyGClifton yea specially when you make rice and beans is great
Do you use the rice button or set the timer?
I have never made my rice in my electric pressure cooker and I probably won't. I like my rice sticky and for breakfast with milk and sugar.
Thank you
That rice cup is not the equivalent of a real measuring cup is it? It looks smaller. I am glad you showed us about the cup and the liter mark. To tell you the truth i never used the cup before. I’ll try your way. I always used the rice button. Rice is not a staple in the french diet. One of the meals I always enjoyed was couscous, a meal from Algeria. I think you might like that.

Continue sharing please!
Hi Joelle! The rice cup is 6 ounces instead of 8. I haven't tried couscous in the IP yet! I will do so! Take care!
I don't want it sticky.... Should I put a little olive oil in before cooking???
Use less water and less time
How did you set the 10 minute natural release? It wasnt shown. Im new to this
After the cook time ends and the pot beeps, just let it sit, don't do anything to it. The counter will begin counting up in minutes. When it gets to 10, then you can manually release the remaining steam by turning the steam release knob to the Venting position.
Thank you!
I was trying to change the pressure release time but I guess I just have to wait until it says 10. Thank you
@@SandyGClifton thx didnt know either
It might be good to remove the rice from the pot and put it on a cutting board or on a platter to let it cool down so it doesn't keep on cooking in the pot.....
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Mine doesn’t have manual key
Mine doesn’t have the manual button it says delay start.
You will use the "Pressure Cook" Button in place of the Manual button.
In all these jasmine rice videos, no body uses the "Rice" button. Why?
Thank you for this video, very helpful.
You're welcome!
Why didn’t you use the pre “rice” setting ??
BASSN SANE 😂😂😂
Laura Skorczewski idiot.
BASSN SANE it’s* 😉
BASSN SANE I thought it was funny because you had stated the obvious. Sorry if I misunderstood you.
iLuvUA-cam I misunderstood what he said and have apologized to him. Too bad you felt the need to leave a mean message to me instead of just replying in a neutral, non hurtful way. I wish you could have been nice.

Yeah, this video is almost 2 years old.
Thanks. Did the older IPs have a different Rice cycle?
No, it's still 12 minutes on Low pressure, or this recipe. But for this recipe too many people thought the rice was too soft, so it looks like they changed to a shorter time.
Thanks.
abc why don’t YOU submit a video?!!
Does the cooking time increase with more cups of rice?
Nope always the same no matter what amount in an instant pot 🙂
I did enjoy your video thank you
I set my IP just like you say, 4 minutes in high pressure but the rice turn out half cook. Little raw. I didn’t however let it have a natural release of the steam. I release it right away. Could that be it? I also cooked a 3 cups of rice with a 1:1 ratio of water.

I thought you used pressure cooker mode?😊
Sandy, Hi, thanks for the video. I was wondering can I put fresh broccoli in with the rice to cook or won't that work?
Is there a reason why you don’t use the rice button on the pressure cooker?
I do sometimes, but I wanted to show a different method that allows you to control the time. The rice setting is fixed. Though it works well, you may want to have manual control.
Sandy Clifton Thanks for your response. My rice came out perfectly! Thx for sharing your technique.
Your sink is so nice and shiny, how do you and what do you use to clean your sink?
Thank you 😊
Less than a minute in and I already messed up lol I used an actual measuring cup
Not your fault, this is an awful video.
Question? Why wouldn't you just use the Rice button on top right?
Because I was making the Instant Pot Company's method.
Hi from where u bought the strainer...
How much water put in cooker
You should use a table spoon of oil and teaspoon of salt.
relevant in 2017, mine didnt turn out as expected but after this it did
stick your finger in the rice and place the tip to where it is touching the top of the rice and add
water to where it reaches your first knuckle no matter how much rice you use
it's not the same for the insta pots
SO WHY ARE YOU NOT USING THE "RICE" PRESET BUTTON? ARE THOSE BUTTON PRESETS USELESS?
Not sure what’s the point of doing the rice in the pressure cooker when in the microwave it takes exactly the same amount of time to do it and you have more control over it. You need to wait for the steam to build up and the steam to release which takes the most amount of time, while if you do it with a microwave, you don’t need to do any of these and can check the rice in-between.

Why does the IP book and preset say low pressure for rice?
I'm not sure.
Hi. Can you please tell me why didn’t you use the RICE button?
This is another way to make rice, especially if you don't have a rice button.
Sandy Clifton: Thank you 😊
I don’t have manual button
Yours might have pressure cook button instead. Use it.
Thank you for keeping it so simple! My jasmine rice was still hard :( I did 1/12 cups of rice to 1/12 cups of water and stirred in a bit of oil so it didn't stick to the pot. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Adding oil will add to your cooking time. Even adding butter adds time.
so awesome thank you
Comes out perfect everytime! Thank you
If it's 1:1 ratio can't you just put in 3 plastic cups of water? Also rice has a habit of foaming so to keep that from happening in the pressure cooker you can add a little oil or butter so it doesn't clog the pressure valve.

It’s just a 1 - 1 ratio - so anything will work
Not going to tell you what happened when I tried this in my IP. But ... You could have hung wallpaper with the paste I made. :)
So, I would like to know, Sandy, with the setup you have in the video, and using Jasmine rice, how long does it take to wash the rice til water is clear? How many minutes? Lighting in my kitchen is not the best, so I need an idea of about how long I should wash it if I use the same strainer that you use>>

Thanks so much. I used the rice cup, filled two times, and apparently I need a larger strainer than I used. Strainer wasn't large enough to leave enough room to stir around. So, larger strainer is on the way, and I will try again when it arrives. :)
Don't you add salt to your rice???????
My instant pot does have measuring how do I cook rice now?
Any mesuring cup will work fine

There is never any softening or splitting of the grains, as they go directly into the boiling water after rinsing. There are many articles are the arsenic content in rice, if you're interested. Here's a particularly informative one: www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index. htm (space added, in case UA-cam makes it invisible). Of course rinsing isn't obligatory. Everyone is free to decide whether or not the risk factor concerns them. For what it's worth, Uncle Ben's happens to be grown entirely in the Mississippi Delta region.
yellowbird30 Nothing would happen health wise. I’m 65 years old and have never washed my rice before. It’s fine.
My Lux doesn't have the same inside markings. So strange!
The newer pots don't have those same marks.
i usually throw in some ginger and rosemerry. adds some aroma and flavor.
All these Videos keep showing the lines and mine only has 1/2 & 2/3.
That's because the video is using the 6-qt. Instant Pot and you and I are using the 3-qt. Duo Mini. Everything is identical except the 6-qt. version includes a couple of extra features for larger recipes.
Zaine Ridling, idk about brooke's pot, but I just bought a duo on sale. Mine only has the 2 markings as well.
Tina Thevarge same as mine
Why don't you guys use seasoning? Salt and butter will make this rice perfect!!
That's true, but this is just to show the basics of making rice in the IP. You may want to serve it under a saltier dish, such as butter chicken. That additional salt could end up making the overall dish too salty. I do sometimes just tear into a bowl of rice with salt, pepper, and butter though! :)
Why don't you use the "Rice" function? Why manual setting?
TimeIdle because different rices take different times. But this is the recipe in the official IP recipe book that came with the IP, so I make it their way and it turns out great.
So instant pot doesn't use their own rice program? Why would they add it as an option?
Robert, the Rice function is for regular white rice, although you could probably use it for jasmine rice as well, since the cooking time is about the same. It uses Low Pressure and takes 22 minutes, if memory serves me. But you can use the Manual button instead, and cook for 3 minutes at high pressure, with a 7 minute NPR, 10 minute NPR for jasmine rice.
How many minutes for 6-7 cups of rice?
I did not get that cup lol. Shit
I've done rice 3x in my new instant pot, and not happy with any of the results. First, I measured the water WITH the cup as directed, and hit the pot's RICE button. Rice was cooked, gluey, dense. I've tried manual, etc. Virtually the same with manual settings. Love the pot, it isn't going to replace my 40 year old rice cooker (Panasonic) which IS perfect, every time. With or without (usually without) rinsing the rice first.
honestly awesome but the way you washed your rice is a crime 😂
the nice thing about Jasmine Rice is it's a sticky rice if you rinse it, it will not be a sticky rice.
“You see that button that says Rice? Just ignore it”.
so 4 cups of rice = 4 cups of water and so on?
Krys Morgan For Jasmine Rice it is a 1:1 ratio. You put the rice in first and then fill to the mark on the pot. Some rices need more liquid, more time, etc. Check your recipe.
Sandy Clifton ty! :)
Sandy Clifton what if your pot doesn’t have the marks
“This pot is ouu.. very sticky”
I've never drained my rice
If you do it right...you shouldn't be draining rice...that mean it started with too much water 😑
I don't understand why we just don't put three cups of water to cups of rice and push the rice button and then why not do it that way that seems like it makes the most sense why are you complicating this. Explain why you're taking such a difficult path. But then I don't know how my rice is going to turn out so I'll let you know. But thank you for making the video.
Kim, I said that this recipe and method is from INSTANT POT'S recipe book. This is not my method, but it does work.
@@SandyGClifton yeah I just had anxiety trying to learn this pot I'm doing better thank you so much. Sandy
Important to note: Washing the rice makes it digestible and allows the body to absorb vitamins and minerals. If one doesn't wash the rice, you get nothing! Poor digestion and no nutrition.
I got excited that you were using the rice cup and pot markings! You let me down when you used the manual button! The RICE button is all you need and natural release! The rice button is low pressure for 12 minutes! I was going to use your video as a perfect example of cooking white rice in your IP pressure cooker using the RICE button since it is for all white rice! 😟
Georgia Spencer that may be, but I was giving the lesson straight from the official Instant Pot recipe book that comes with the IP. I agree that the rice button is a great way to cook some rices. Sorry you felt disappointed.
I'm glad you explained that. Both of you, so I can try each to see the results turn out.
Also, the rice button is too long of a cook time. And I didn't let you down, Georgia, it was the recipe, which yields nice results.
Sandy, the rice button cooks at low pressure. I've used both methods, and both work fine.
Hey Georgia - how many tutorial videos have you taken the time to create and post? To avoid future disappointment perhaps you should lower your expectations - consider the possibility that different methods of cooking rice may work better for other types of rice - familiarize yourself with the instant pot instructions and keep your frowning-face emojis and exclamation points to yourself. Rude and inconsiderate comments do not benefit those who are trying to learn.
Helpgul
To sticky, the good rice need to be fluffy
Presentation is to slow
Why so much talk about the “special cup”!!!!! Lol
I don't know. When I made this video over 4 years ago, the cup was more of a thing.
@@SandyGClifton hah haha! Love your humour. 😀
