Instant Pot Jasmine Rice 

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.

So thorough yet so concise! 🙏 Thank you

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.

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

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this video, very helpful.

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?

If it is 1 to 1 why not just fill the plastic cup with water 3 times?

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. :)

a little tip. add chicken stock instead of water for some VERY tasty rice!!!

Comes out perfect everytime! Thank you

I did enjoy your video thank you

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.

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?

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.

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?

so awesome thank you

Thank you 😊

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

relevant in 2017, mine didnt turn out as expected but after this it did

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

Your sink is so nice and shiny, how do you and what do you use to clean your sink?

My Duo did not come with a cool spoon. What would you do if you didn’t have the manual button?

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!

Hi from where u bought the strainer...

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?

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.....

I have 3 Instant Pots and not one of them came with a cup.

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.

How much water put in cooker

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?

Does the cooking time increase with more cups of rice?

How did you set the 10 minute natural release? It wasnt shown. Im new to this

i usually throw in some ginger and rosemerry. adds some aroma and flavor.

Why not just use the same measure cup you used with the rice

Why does the IP book and preset say low pressure for rice?

Less than a minute in and I already messed up lol I used an actual measuring cup

Wish you could use regular measuring cups for people who have other types of pressure cookers.😊

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

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.

Mine doesn’t have manual key

I don't want it sticky.... Should I put a little olive oil in before cooking???

You should use a table spoon of oil and teaspoon of salt.

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.

Mine doesn’t have the manual button it says delay start.

Question? Why wouldn't you just use the Rice button on top right?

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 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

My Lux doesn't have the same inside markings. So strange!

Is there a reason why you don’t use the rice button on the pressure cooker?

My instant pot does have measuring how do I cook rice now?

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.

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?

All these Videos keep showing the lines and mine only has 1/2 & 2/3.

SO WHY ARE YOU NOT USING THE "RICE" PRESET BUTTON? ARE THOSE BUTTON PRESETS USELESS?

I don’t have manual button

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.

honestly awesome but the way you washed your rice is a crime 😂

Why didn’t you use the pre “rice” setting ??

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.

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.

“This pot is ouu.. very sticky”

“You see that button that says Rice? Just ignore it”.

I've never drained my rice

Hi. Can you please tell me why didn’t you use the RICE button?

Why don't you use the "Rice" function? Why manual setting?

the nice thing about Jasmine Rice is it's a sticky rice if you rinse it, it will not be a sticky rice.

Why don't you guys use seasoning? Salt and butter will make this rice perfect!!

I did not get that cup lol. Shit

Helpgul

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! 😟

If people looked at the recipe guide that came with their pot they'd know this already. Sheesh, a 6 min vid just for rice.

so 4 cups of rice = 4 cups of water and so on?

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.

To sticky, the good rice need to be fluffy

Presentation is to slow

Why so much talk about the “special cup”!!!!! Lol
