Thank you so much for your great advice, I purchased these bowls from Amazon and for once had the first perfect 1 serve of Basmati rice, in my Instant Pot...❤ warmest regards, Raewyn from NZ. 💕
At last! A simple, uncomplicated, and. brilliant explanation of cooking rice for one using pot in pot! I wish I’d come across your video 2 days ago, it would’ve saved me about 12 hours of trawling! Thank you. I have a ninja foodi, but the pip method still works and I use 250ml water in the bottom.
Thank you so much and glad it was helpful! Yes the method is good for all pressure cookers (as long as they're tall enough) and hope you're enjoying your Foodie
I PERSONALLY, USE A ZOJIRUSHI RICE COOKER TO COOK MY RICE AND STEEL CUT OATMEAL! I THINK IT TAKES A LIL LONGER TO COOK, BUT THEY ALWAYS TURN OUT PERFECT!
@@CookingandCalm it’s WELL WORTH the investment! Do NOT listen to folks on UA-cam, TRY IT FOR YOURSELF! I was on the fence about it for over a year listening to UA-cam opinions. I finally broke and bought and I LOVE IT!
Love your videos. I found that rice rinsing bowl here in US; I just started with IP and have a 6 quart Pro Plus and am really enjoying it!! It requires a minimum of 1.5 cups of water.
Despite having had an IP. For getting for 5 years I still prefer to do rice in the microwave. I use a microwave steamer. It is much quicker and just as good as the IP.
Hi there, yes I'm in the UK but I've moved to using cups for things like rice and porridge as I only have to remember the ratio to water then. I try to put in grams too but for some reason I've forgotten here. I've just moved house and my measuring cups are in storage so I can't check right now but hopefully you've found the answer from another cook by now- so sorry. I use Joseph and Joseph measuring cups in case that helps.👍
Hi there, thanks for reminding me. It's the Jospeh and Joseph Small Prep and Serve Bowl - mine is the small one and I got it from a 'real world' cookshop some years ago. They seem to have discontinued it as I'm struggling to find a link but I've put the amazon link for the large version in the description now so you can see it at least.
Hi Maria, I tend to cook it for 18m and 10 Natural release. I find brown basmati really varies so either 1:1 or 1 :1.25 (1 cup rice : 1.25 cup water/stock) depending on how soft you like it.
A lot of people really rate the creamy rice pudding method by @Lisa.Childs so I’d recommending going over there. Great channel too! Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/mHs6hGYlLSY/v-deo.htmlsi=8YrMH2Wqqs5xWAE2
I would be looking for something without silicone/olastic. Both are similar in how they're made, and despite claims, do contain chemicals which leech into food at high temperatures. Which in the case of a pressure cooker is extremely high. In this case the silicone is still coming into contact with the rice, in the form of precipitation
So knowing what your minimum water/liquid fill is for pressure cooking in your model of Instant Pot is super important to get the best out of your cooking. Let's try and save some time for each other by sharing the minimums for our models. If you have time, please share your your Instant Pot Model, Size, Country in and Minimum Liquid level for pressure cooking below. Mine is: Instant Pot Pro, 5.7L (6Q) UK: Minimum liquid is 1.5 Cups (375ml). Yours?
Loved this video. Delighted to find a uk instant pot user with ‘normal’ easy to find ingredients. I looked at my new instant pot for a couple of weeks before using, getting a burn notice after only a few goes, so I was a tad intimidated. I’m getting braver but your channel will undoubtedly help me. My instant pot has a tiny silver spot thru the grey element is in the base this ok? or is it on its way out. Thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful Belinda. If you think I can help with anything do give me a shout either here or via my website contact form (see about section) or join the newsletter. Burn notice happens to all of us so don't worry at all. You get used to it and once you understand the common causes it doesn't happen much at all. It won't hurt anything, just tougher on the washing up :) The grey element: I don't know as I'm not part of Instant Pot itself - I would take a photo and send it to them via their instantbrands.co.uk/contact-us/ which creates a ticket. They can be slow and this is the best route I've found for any questions.
I have the Instant Pot Ultra. Not sure why my preset for rice says 12 minutes, but it dried out the rice I put in on the bottom with the water. I have change it to cook in pressure cook at 6 minutes and it is still a little dry. Good for sticky rice though.
My old manual says minimum liquid for that one is 500 mL (*Unless otherwise specified in recipe). 12 minutes is a very long time for white rice - the presets can be really odd. Yes keep experimenting until you are happy 👍
@@CookingandCalm you're very welcome. It's true. And I hope you have a good weekend too. By the way, I ruined my rice. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm 58 years old and have been making rice my entire life. The last five batches I've made I've thrown out. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
oh that's so annoying. Hey, maybe it's not you! Do you think it could be the rice itself? Sometimes the rice is very old from sitting on shop shelves or has different absorbency? If you think it's the instant pot method, you could try a little more or a little less water:rice ratio? Also if you are at higher altitude that affects pressure cooking. Or for us, we have very hard water here and chock full of limescale and sometimes very chlorine heavy 🤢 - all of that can cause problems too. Some things are just a lottery in cooking so be kind to yourself and keep experimenting - I'm sure that rice mojo will come back :)
You didn't say, but you should turn off the KEEP WARM mode. It's more important if it's not a pot in pot method and the rice is on the bottom and can burn or dry out!
@@CookingandCalm i think its constant experiment with rice and water and cooking time. Too much water over cook. Too less water rice gets stick to bottom. Key is using same rice and right down every time and how aldente (rice do not stick to each other). Taste is Texture. Texture is taste. We like bread because of many texture in them.
I'm in USA, and have the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid Pressure cooking requires liquid in the Inner Cooking Pot to produce the steam needed. For this Duo Crisp, here are the minimum amounts you’ll need: Cooking Pot Size Minimum Liquid for Pressure Cooking* (Capacity 6.5 Quarts/ 6.2 Litres) 2 cups (12 oz / 500 mL) *Unless otherwise specified in recipe.
I like that rice bowl - super spiffy!
so handy!

And again, great advice! Thank you!!!
What did you say? "All rise"??? 🤣🤣🤣
You are so welcome!
Just found your wonderful video: I am from Switzerland, just testing my new Instant Pot 3 qt and the minimum water for it is 0.5L
thank you so much for sharing and I hope you have fun experimenting with your new Instant Pot!
0:28 Instant brand pot for pot-in-pot cooking
1:40 1:1 ratio of washed rice to water by volume
2:57 3 min HP, 10 min NPR, keep warm on.
Thanks
Thank you for sharing this. Excellent. For 2 people would it be ore tie to cook?
You're welcome Lorraine. No, it's the same 3 minute timing. It may take a smidgen more time to do the preheat stage but nothing major.
Fantastic thank you.
Despite having had an IP. For getting for 5 years I still prefer to do rice in the microwave. I use a microwave steamer. It is much quicker and just as good as the IP.
Nice one - finding what works best for you is the name of the game for me
Great info, many thanks, but in the UK and Europe we use metric. How big is your cup?

Hi again, you're (rice) rincing bowl seems very useful. I didn't find it in your links... Could you please let me know where you bought it? Thanks!!!

@@CookingandCalm What a pitty... The big one is too big for me...
Yes I like the small. Such a shame they're discontinued
How long do you cook brown rice for 2. So 1 cup. Is it still 1-1 ratio? Thanks...
Hi Maria, I tend to cook it for 18m and 10 Natural release. I find brown basmati really varies so either 1:1 or 1 :1.25 (1 cup rice : 1.25 cup water/stock) depending on how soft you like it.
Would this work with arborio rice for a super creamy rice pudding or chocolate rice pudding?

Sounds good
